I really dislike people who argue and write things off just saying it's "fiction". Fiction inspires reality and reality inspires fiction. I just think it's such a stupid excuse for readers who support insane stories depicting some not so good things, may it be constant rape and abuse, diregarding religion, etc or anything tbh. It's such a weak excuse, just say "hey well, this what we want to read. This is some peoples interest." And I'd be fine with that excuse becuase yes, people are allowed to have their own picks.
But sayings it's fine just because it's fiction is so ridiculous and ignorant. No matter how "fiction" a story is, the phenomena depicted, or what it is based on, remains as real as it is.
