Reblog if you understand that someone’s preferences in fandom porn are not indicative of what they enjoy, or even condone, in real life.
I suddenly had a parallel thought about this. People who have dark porn preferences are often attacked for this. But their enjoyment of such things is no different than enjoying violent video games or horror movies. We don’t shame people as they come out of the theater after seeing the latest slasher flick, even though it involves terrorizing people and slowly dismembering them and countless other acts of violence, brutality, cruelty, and illegal behavior. We don’t call these people “murder-apologists”. We don’t tell them that they are sick and wrong or shun them in public. We understand that for them the experience is intense or exciting and even if we don’t personally like horror or violence in our film-watching, we don’t judge or criticize them for enjoying said films.
So why do we judge others similar preferences, just when they happen to have a sex component attached to it? Why does that make them suddenly “sick” or “wrong” or some sort of terrible person when they would never, ever, want these sorts of things to actually happen to someone in real life, just as a horror lover would never actually want a bunch of people to be brutally tortured and hacked to pieces?
Something to think about.
