Re: Don't hold your breath

The latter is what I mean. I get not writing about a specific tragedy that happened to a specific person - that's a rule fandom tends to apply everywhere. What bothers me is that in fandom, it's considered exploitative to write about shootings or terrorist attacks at all, no matter if you make them up for the sake of a fic, or even about characters reacting to a tragedy.

I'm incredibly bitter about this because I wasn't reacting too well after the Sandy Hook shootings, but when I tried asking for comfort fic (thank god I did it in anon), everyone acted like I'd requested the shooter have sex with the children or something. A few months later when my own school was shot up by a lunatic with a gun, I wanted to ask for fic, because really, is it too much to ask that I want to read about, IDK, my favorite characters saving the day or at least commiserating in this tragedy or something? But of course, that would be ~exploitative~ and ~inappropriate~ and insensitive to the victims of actual tragedies (which I don't get because we put warnings on everything so that real life victims of rape and abuse and such can avoid fanfics that might be insensitive or triggering or whatever, so why can't that extend to things like shootings or terrorist attacks?)
