“you know how on tik tok–” no. “ugh i keep seeing these people on tik tok saying–” Delete it. Delete the app
I’ve said this before but Why do people position “themes and analysis” and “shipping” as mutually exclusive opposites. maybe I find two characters thematically interesting and want them to analytically fuck about it.

how people react to the content you create is NOT your responsibility
if you create fictional content that..
- Squicks people out
- Triggers people
- Portrays immoral acts in a positive light
- Romanticises immoral acts
- Contains depictions of illegal acts
then it is not your responsibility if people have a negative reaction to such topics.
What is your responsibility is using tags, trigger warnings, and content warnings on the content you create.
And that goes both ways.
It is also your responsibility to filter tags, and keep in mind trigger/ content warnings.
If you are old enough to be on the internet, you are old enough to curate your online experience.
Creators, fanfiction writers, artists, and other creative people are not here to
- parent you
- Inform your morals
- Educate you about laws
- And curate your experience for you.
It is not victim blaming for simply stating that other people’s interpretations, morals, messages, and information that they receive from your content is not your responsibility.
Because again,
THAT IS YOUR YOURS! THAT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!
