Biggest example is that people still believe carrots and milk are good for cats and bunnies to eat because of cartoons without doing any research

nothing, and I mean nothing can make you kill, grape, or hurt someone in any way. that is fully on them. not what they watched.

Saying fiction affects reality because of things that happened to mentally ill people ignores basic human psychology

fiction CAN affect reality, even if it isn't on a massive scale. you LITERALLY desensitize yourself to harmful content the more that you look at it. in my opinion it's really not a coping mechanism and I expect most darkshippers to know better

Darkshippers say fiction doesn’t affect reality and then contradict themselves SO HARD when they say “I’m doing it cuz it’s helping me cope!” Right after😭😭🫱🏿

You’d expect women to be the most against “Dark romance” because it romanticizes abuse and harm. But no

Not to mention some people can say that media “saved their life” or “helped them be a better person” but how dare we say it could be damaging to someone as equally as it could be good

Everyone loses brain cells when it comes to this topic unfortunately. Like yes fiction very much does affect reality, everything around us started with the brain, good and bad.

As someone who reallyy wants to be become a psychologist....fiction DOES affect reality, its simple knowledge!! Fiction can literally add onto our vocabulary, it can change how we act, it can change our personality, our views, etc. I met someone who was in fandoms that were centered around horror, and ended up having a dream where terrible, disgusting, violent things happened in it, and traumatized them. Fiction DOES affect reality, and it most definitely has affected you, positively, or negatively.

People forget how mentally ill other people can be. Just because it doesn’t really effect your irl views and actions it sure as hell does to other people especially people who are typically Neurodivergent
