Reminder that if you read and enjoy this, it doesn't automatically make you a bad person.
I'm sure there are a few readers on here experiencing shame for reading and even enjoying this. I see a lot of people justifying why they keep coming back, and you don't need to explain to others why you might like this.
The people on here calling you gross or disturbed aren't trained professionals. They are people who's moral compass believes what you read is what you are. They have a right to feel upset with the content but they are wrong to try and label people liking this content as evil. It's a very sheltered and privileged viewpoint, as there are people currently in the world that are committing these acts. But I don't believe most people that read this think it's 'good', and what to experience this level of trauma or enact it on someone else.
There has been countless studies and research about how the average person has dark thoughts. Whether it's envious feelings over a friend or something darker, like enjoying rape fantasies (can't find the study and it was a few years back but there was a study where 60% of women admitted to having a rape fantasy. Most weren't delusional enough to want to experience it). It's a lot more normal than most people think, but we live in a society where most of that is hushed, especially matters of sex (at least in the west).
If you ARE concerned about your thoughts or maybe exploring why you are attracted to these kinds of topics, it's not a weakness to explore it with a professional. NOT mangago, or tiktok, or twitter. Rarely people are doing any kind of research and are speaking with their feelings. However, I do think we have a responsibility to make sure dark fantasies don't go out of hand. If your thoughts become obsessive, if they disrupt your daily life, if they creep into the real world, and you feel impulses to put yourself or someone else at risk, again, it's not a weakness to ask for help.
As a loveable fictional character once said. It's your actions and choices that make you who you are .
