Someone: Ah, yes. You enjoy this problematic thing, therefore you are Not Truly a Progressive, and finding joy and hope and validation from it is Bad™.

#again no shade it's just...how have the purity police avoided the mads murderman show I don't get it #why is it exempt it has a super fucked-up queer romance storyline that's BARELY reciprocated in an obvious way and also THE GUY EATS PEOPLE #apparently me saying 'cersei is interesting and relatable sometimes I love her' is bad #but people going 'aww h*nnibal is a Rom-Com™ serial killer husbands!! adorable!!! eating people lol!!!!' is fine #like...the hardcore stans of this show truly blow my mind I don't get it #am I a hate blog now? I think I might be a hate blog now. That's very sad for me I promised I would never do this #where's that meme that's like 'shut up about [x] shut up about [x] shut up about [x]' that's how I feel #tw: cannibalism mention #I can't believe that's a tag I have to type #but y'all refuse to have ANY nuance in the way you talk about fiction so here we are #I am so tired of being told 'but be sure you always keep in mind this work's flaws every time you engage with it or think about it' #like. I know things aren't perfect. I know we can do better. But I also don't owe some stranger on the internet a complete relinquishing #of something that is important to me and has improved a lot of people's lives just because some topics weren't covered perfectly #or because a given character is pRoBLeMaTiC #and before the anons come after me I censored the show name I didn't tag it and I have always unambiguously endorsed the existence of #dark fiction and am very explicitly referring to double standards and fandom hypocrisy in this post so please just. don't. #salty mc13 is salty
