JUST
WHY
LOOK, I UNDERSTAND THAT FANFICTION CULTURE HAS DONE ITS PART IN UNFORTUNATELY NORMALIZING AND/OR FETISHIZING THESE THINGS
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU COME FROM FANFICTION CULTURE
BUT THEY ARE NOT NORMAL
AND MORE THAN THAT
THEY ARE ALWAYS
100%
WRONG
PLEASE STOP PERPETUATING THESE IDEALS THROUGH YOUR BOOKS
YOU HAVE A PLACE OF SOCIAL VISIBILITY AND INFLUENCE TO A LARGE AUDIENCE AND, PERHAPS JUST AS IMPORTANTLY, TO OTHER MEDIA PRODUCERS, CRITICS, AND ANALYSTS OF THAT DEMOGRAPHIC
AND YOU ARE CONSISTENTLY CONTRIBUTING TO THE CONDONING OF RAPE CULTURE
AND THAT IS NOT OKAY
#STOP #IT #social justice #media awareness #media responsibility #cassandra clare #the mortal instruments #culture work #P.S. THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO SHOW SOMEONE’S VILLAINRY #OKAY #THIS IS A PSA TO EVERY AUTHOR OUT THERE #YA #FANFICTION #OTHER #WHATEVER #THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO SHOW VILLAINRY THAN SEXUAL ASSAULT/ABUSE/RAPE
This doesn’t map on perfectly, but I feel the sentiment harmonizes:
