See, I don't know that you can make that distinction. Real life people don't have superpowers. And my biggest fictional crush is Sauron who may be from a fantasy universe but is responsible for the torture and death of at least thousands on top of a lot of other awful things. Fictional characters are fictional characters. As long as you recognize that they are awful and that the things they do aren't okay, I don't see a problem with finding them attractive. The problem is with people who justify the actions of characters like, say, Ramsay Bolton or Loki.

[(Anonymous)]

I guess I just read his character & his powers as an enlargement of specific real-world things in a way that I don't with someone like Sauron or Bolton or Loki.

And I'm not coming down and saying it's definitely wrong, just... we're starting to get into the territory where it gets pronouncedly squicky.

[philstar22]

I'd say Bolton at least is pretty similar.

[(Anonymous)]

That's fair, but I don't think the text draws the analogy as specifically to real-world contemporary stuff.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

This is just me, but perhaps because what he does to Jessica has been made analogous to rape?

[philstar22]

Well, Bolton is a rapist, Sauron may possibly be going by some fanon interpretations, and other villains are rapist. I don't think that means you can't find them attractive. As long as you aren't justifying rape, I don't see the problem.

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT but I guess I would say that it's just so central to the Purple Man character.

[philstar22]

True. I guess I just don't really see what the problem is. Attraction is attraction. The secret maker isn't saying they like what the character does or think any of it is okay.

[silverr]

Perhaps it's setting? LotR and GoT are still fantasy settings; Jessica Jones, despite superheroes, is not.

[philstar22]

I guess. Just, in my mind, fiction is fiction and kink is kink and those don't have to have anything to do with real life attraction.

:cough: Kind of helping make the case that that Silmarillion background on #5 was actually you and not a frame. :cough:

I admit I specifically was wondering that already. I'm worried our named user group has gotten too small. >_> ^_^ <_<
