tw, talk of sexual assault & harassment

hi six fandom - i love ya to bits but can we maybe not glorify Anne, Katherine, Cathy (or any of the queens) getting sexually harassed or assaulted?

i’m not trying to gatekeep or criticise anything. if you wanna write or read fics like that then no one can stop you…

but please don’t use a situation like that to form any type of Parrlyn/Katanna/Aralyn comfort au.

obviously, there has been a lot of #notallmenbutallwomen rise on twitter and it’s fantastic that this is getting recognised in media HOWEVER, it is not a nice thing to experience.

and writers using situations like that to write Comfort or angst fics doesn’t sit right with me. unless it’s for educational purposes or a release. (if u get what i’m saying)

i hope you understand where i’m coming from? like i said, we/i cannot stop you from reading and writing stuff but please don’t glorify it. it is not pretty, it is not romantic, it is extremely uncomfortable, lonely, upsetting and makes you feel like shit afterwards. and unless you are one hell of a writer which 16/17/18 year olds aren’t (no offence) then please try and refrain from writing it.

one more thing: it is not a way for a so/partner to swoop in and save you. this is fact. as much as i love a good comfort au, real life isn’t like that because most of the time they don’t even know and you feel so grossed out that you can’t even admit/tell your closest friend never mind someone you are supposed to be loyal too.

even if you decline someone’s offences you often can’t do anything about it and end up feeling like you betrayed your partner afterwards even though the situation can’t be helped.

just… don’t glorify it because in reality? it sucks more than words can say.
