Puriteens need to internalize Liz's attitude here

Okay I actually agree with this. I had gotten into an argument w/ someone on discord who said that he doesn’t feel bad for women who have rape fantasy’s to get raped. I think that even though rape fantasy’s aren’t the healthiest thing to fantasize about, they aren’t hurting anyone. Because it’s a fantasy. It’s fake. Plus, the people who have those fantasies aren’t experiencing actual rape since it’s technically consensual. No one wants to get rapped or stalked irl because you don’t actually have a choice, you can’t stop it whenever you want.
Now At the same time, while I think it’s fine to fantasize it in your own head or in secret journals you keep to yourself, I do think people writing it and romanticizing it IS bad. For multiple reasons. Just because something is fake doesn’t mean people can’t be disgusted about it, if they want to comment on the rightfully wrong thing that they see, why shouldn’t they? I mean do you know how many teens think dating older people is hot when they are only in 8th grade and this persons fucking 26?? It cause of the stuff they read thats romanticizing predators. I’ve seen people in the comment sections of Cutie smth (some type of sadistic Russian show abt a hyper sexual girl that’s in an abusive relationship with some dude) say that while they understand that he’s a bad guy, they want someone to love them like that.
I genuinely believe that what you read can and will influence you in some way shape or form.
