Me in a Nutshell:

And if you're asking why I didn't leave already considering the grooming shit on the first few chapters

I Skipped that atrocity, Thank you.

Not the dislike Lmao. Probably a grapist themself or an enabler—bye

What about people who loves mass murderer characters, Or horror fiction do you just assume they're all murderers too? No, right? because this is fiction

there is a huge difference between romanticizing and just watching it.

This isnt tiktok you can say rape... nobody is taking you seriously when you cant even say the word id literally say its more disrespectful to water down the word compared to fiction expression

Tiktok or not, I still wouldn't want to use that disgusting word directly. And Why does it matter anyways? Why we bringing up tiktok shit like it matters?

There is a fine line between just watching for entertainment and romanticizing the real thing. How do I come up with this conclusion? Look around the comment section lol. About your question, of course both are indeed negative but let's just take a look at the degree. Murder in thriller or horror media are just imaginary and more natural because death itself is more of a natural phenomenon (to us humans because we all die) compared to and it's like they are exploring creative things about death (Still depends on what kind of murder fiction is that though. If it's exploitive and suggestive of participation in creating an actual crime then it's as equally bad) On the other hand is NOT AND SHOULD NEVER BE NORMALIZED. The thing about in media is that some or most (including this story) eroticizes the traumatic experiences of real-life victims even though it's just fiction. Idk with y'all but watching or consuming grape media feels like participating in someone's trauma (fiction or not.)
