hey lee! ive been following you for a while and i am a darkshipper that enjoys (fictional ofc) incest, rape and generally dead dove relationships, but i have no sexual trauma. i wanted to ask you, how does writing and drawing graphic sexual scenarios feel as someone who has that trauma? i read all your thoughts about the ethics or profic ideology and i wanted to know your imput on this. additionally, do you feel like its justified to enjoy that type of content even if you have no trauma to back it up? i know a lot of proshippers use it as a sort of comfort zone where they can use parts of their trauma in a safe, controlled, and fictional way, but how do you feel about us who dont? im sorry if this is invasive, i dont expect you to reply, but you seem like a levelheaded person and i adore your posts so i was interested in your opinion! much love
writing traumatic scenarios feels very cathartic for me, since really, it just gives me control over those situations fictionally that i had control taken from me in real life. it helps me not take it so seriously and exist without such a heavy burden on my shoulders. i also use humor as a coping mechanism, so many of my posts are seriously outlandish because it makes me laugh. to me, it’s important not to take my own trauma seriously.
and i wouldn’t say justified is the right word, more like it doesn’t matter? these things are fictional, so whether you have trauma or not, as long as you can interact with it responsibly, there’s really no issue at all. at the end of the day, we all exist in the same corners of the internet, sharing gross, made-up stories and headcanons with one another, and i think that’s hilarious. no one should be punished for thoughtcrime, as thoughtcrime isn’t a real thing (despite the fact that most antis think it is). people who have no trauma and people who have trauma should all be allowed the same opportunities to explore whatever they want in fiction. much love :)
