Because of this, I get a lot of people calling my ships "abusive" and saying that I'm a terrible person for shipping them, which I don't really appreciate.

Eurgghh, sorry you have to deal with that bullshit.

If/when I jump back into tumblr etc, if anyone says that about my ships I'm gonna let them have it. I only like abusive, "eventful", power-dynamic-fraught ships. This says absolutely fucking nothing about how good I am to the people in my life. That is straight up kinkshaming what people are doing. Reminds me of when I was closeted kink-wise and had to listen to my feminist friends go on about how bdsm was glorifying slavery and Nazism and real life rape and etc. Can't see this failure to distinguish between fantasy and irl as much different.

Go for it. You have every right to defend your interests and tastes and story ideas. I don't get where people got the idea that if you write about something in fiction you clearly condone or practice it in real life (if that were the case, Stephen King would be in a whoooooooooole lotta trouble!).

In real life, people get into messy and complicated and unhealthy relationships. In real life, bad things happen to people. In real life, people have very kinky sexual tastes. It's only natural and logical, then, that writers will tackle those subjects in their stories as a result.

There are plenty of good things that happen in the world, too, and healthy, loving relationships exist as well, of course, so certainly it's good for writers to write about those things as well. But fiction would be very boring and highly unrealistic (which may be ironic to say when it comes to fiction, but you know what I mean :p) if that was ALL that people wrote about.

And it's fine to discuss the messages that writers put forth, and how much of an influence, if any, they have on readers and fans. I like fictional analysis as much as the next person and its sociological implications can be interesting to talk about.

But there's good ways to do that, too, ways that don't involve making ignorant assumptions about the writers and automatically assuming that they either practice or condone every questionable or bad or unhealthy thing that they write about.
