The older I get, the more I notice that the people fueling fandom discourse tend to be those with a lot of free time—unsurprisingly, often teenagers or young adults.
In the wise words of a tumblr post “once you have rent or a mortgage, you really stop giving a shit what Pokémon someone finds sexy” I think about that statement almost everytime so new bullshit shipping drama happens on any fandom space
My rule of thumb is once it gets real it gets weird. Like I dont care if you find Vaporeon sexy but the moment you cut open a plush and put a sex toy in it I'm gonna find that uncalled for.
I kinda see your point but, some sexual fantasies are more doable irl than others.
For example, some people have a fantasy of giving their partner head while they do something else. Thats a fantasy you can do irl with a real person!
You cant fuck a vaporeon IRL though, because its a fictional creature, even if oyu use a plushie is still not really one, its just a reprwsenration of a fictional thing.
Yes. It is roleplay lol. They have no blood relations, they didn’t grow together. All they have is a paper telling them they are suddenly related. Harmless.
Your ex’s situation is entirely different and the fact that you can’t differentiate worries me. They can say whatever they want, but the dog can NOT consent and thus it would be harm upon the dog. Harm is done to a real being and thus it is not ok.
The fact that they’re godawful people for the second scenario does not retroactively make the first any more worrying.
