#and we have a habit of eroticizing things that scare us or that don't make sense

wild to me that fandom spaces awash with queer people, especially on tumblr, still clutch their pearls about noncon art and fiction, as if dub- and noncon as both metaphor and kink haven't been staples of multiple genres since, like... ever.

"so-and-so has a noncon kink, that's kind of sus." statistically speaking, your mom has a noncon kink. might be why she enjoyed 50 shades of grey so much. you already grok that horror movie fans aren't out here on the verge of building saw traps and action movie buffs aren't one bad day away from becoming mass shooters. that doesn't become not-true just because it's a sex thing.

#bog post #stay salty #this is a vaguepost but it's also not NOT true yfm #if one person misbehaves in my mentions i *will* turn reblogs off #the science of kinks - esp violent or dub/noncon ones - is pretty clear! #the human brain is complicated our emotions are complicated #and we have a habit of eroticizing things that scare us or that don't make sense #it's not better or worse than sexually fantasizing about ideal situations #it's just another facet of healthy human sexuality #also thought crimes aren't real - nobody can be materially hurt by the things you think of when you jerk off
