Listen.. they were quite literally the first two idiots that popped up in my head when this trend started.. And for the record, he blames the bard
"You can't ship that!"
lol what are you gonna do, climb inside my mind and shut off the imagination switch?
This kind of response always fascinates me, so while I've got you here, can I just ask: legal by what standards? Do you mean real world standards, where laws vary from country to country, and in the case of the US, state to state? Or do you mean the fictitious laws set in place in the fictional setting of the ship? What standard exactly should we use to tell people "you're not allowed to enjoy this fictional thing?"
I know you didn't mean any harm by your response, but I feel it's important to reiterate that nothing gives anyone the right to police what people do in a fictional setting, full stop. Because at the end of the day, it's fiction, it's a fantasy, none of it is real, and so real world rules and standards do not apply. So, as long as you are not actively causing harm in a real world setting (i.e. harassing real people over fictional ships) then you do you.
a very important addition
Everyone pushing the line on the "It's immoral to depict any content that's illegal!" stance are either going to be massively horrified or massively thrilled if LGBATIQ content is made illegal again.
So if that's *your* stance, I've got to wonder which one you are, and why you're so comfortable with the company you're keeping.
"The MPPDA had set up its rules of “Don’ts” and “Be Carefuls” in 1927, a set of guidelines that, among other things, said movies could not include “Pointed profanity,” “Miscegenation” (that’s relations between races), “Ridicule of the clergy,” and “Willful offense to any nation, race or creed.”"
"As long as it isn't illegal"
Who decides what's illegal? Who decides whats immoral? Is a law moral? Is a law just? Is something immoral to everyone? Whose sense of immoral becomes the rules? What if their standard of immorality doesn't match yours? What if that person believes your entire existence [a mixed race person, an atheist, a queer person] is immoral and it becomes illegal?
There's lots of talk out there about working through trauma via dark fanfiction. I'm not saying anything against that - there's nothing wrong with it. But I do think there's an unfortunate implication being made in a lot of those posts. Accidentally or not, the implication being made is that trauma is the reason people enjoy dark content. That there needs to be a justification at all.
Guys, trauma is not the only reason to enjoy dead dove do not eat content. You don't need trauma to justify liking it. You don't need anything to justify liking it. You can just...like it. I get the point of those posts is to stop people from harping on others when they might be digging into said trauma, or harassing others for their coping methods, which is definitely wrong - but let's be clear in our intent and not alienate people that are just here for the fun of it. Let's not make people think they need a reason to enjoy what they do.
You don't need trauma to justify liking dark things. You can just like it and if that's all there is to it, that's perfectly okay.
horror movies, serial killer documentaries, splatterhouse-type games, etc - these are billion-dollar industries
there is a real, valid, profitable part of the human psyche that loves dark shit when it’s in a situation we can control
what do you think is the appeal of roller coasters? danger, controlled
i don’t give one single solitary shit what your particular dark fic itch is. seriously, i don’t care. it doesn’t matter. yes, even whatever super gross objectionable thing you just thought of - it literally doesn’t matter. unless real, live, non-hypothetical people are hurt in the making of a thing, that’s just how humans be. sometimes we gaze into the abyss, to see if we can handle it when the abyss gazes back.
I know Dracula is the bad guy of Castlevania and all, but if some zealous Christians showed up at my home and horribly murdered my wife because she did medicine too good I too would probably have gone absolutely fucking feral
He gave them a year and fair warning
Tumblr is the last surviving part of the old internet because this is the one place left online that's still too nerdy and off-putting to mention in real life.
if genital selection becomes the next big thing in RPGs we need to push beyond a binary application of “penis” and “vulva” (even if there are additional options past that binary gate) and make a single slider. x and y axis type of thing like chusing the depth and width of your chin.
You should have to sculpt it yourself like Spore
You should be able to scan it in with your webcam like those old NBA games
baldur's gate 5: please scan your cock now
me, intent on making the sex scenes into short horror films: yeah i promise this novelty Three Stooges mug is my cock

everyone's talking about how "prev tags" is an integral part of how people use the site and now the update's ruined it and blah blah blah, but you can't fool me! I remember back when everyone was griping about how it's a degenerate innovation from twitter migrants and that real tumblr users write out the tags themselves
let it be known that i still hate it
