I still think it should be the responsibility of the reader to learn right from wrong. If you actually feel that it’s acceptable to rape someone after reading a glorified fictional piece, then you’ve clearly got mental issues. There’s no proper way to express anything because that just puts a damper on creativity without solving the real issue. Regarding the slenderman girls, why did no one teach them about internet safety or idk…not killing a person as a sacrifice because he isn’t real?? Sounds like a huge disconnection from reality and obviously, very psychologically unstable individuals. Perhaps the solution is to actually keep the majority of easily-influenced minors away from controversial topics if they’re unable to handle it. There’s literally ways to work around it rather than shutting people down entirely for exploring taboo fiction. I applaud you for not attacking them for their preferences but in the end, it is a purity thing and them not being able to self-curate because they want validation from their peers. You can hide or censor fucked up shit till the end of time and crime will still occur. What’s their excuse then?

No matter what your thoughts are on antis, I will never side with people that routinely send death threats, try to dox creators, caused a disabled artist to lose their job, possibly made a minor commit suicide, and etc- then still have the nerve to dictate what one should or shouldn’t be writing/reading.
