creeps always word their tweets SUPER vaguely & it sucks bc you get reasonable looking messages like 'it's ok to have dark themes in fiction' getting twisted. it's a good idea always if u see a post like that to check for context https://twitter.com/houteian/status/1321137100713066502
just recently i saw a post on tumblr abt people wanting all fiction to be Pure & Moral and it was reblogged by people who probably werent creeps and its like.... i really doubt there is that significant a number of ppl who actually think that...
i think OP either meant or was influenced by posts that are from people who can't distinguish between "bad things happen in fiction" (fine) and "this fiction handles the bad things in a tasteless or harmful way" (not fine), and read criticism of the latter as the former
its not problematic™ to depict horrible people doing horrible things. or have dark stories. or talk about serious & difficult subjects. the PROBLEM is when those things are romanticized, and unfortunately some people can't understand that concept
