This isn't a book. It's a game. One the OP is familiar with. And can stop playing at any time.

Even with books, if you don't like it the find something that suits you better, and put it out of your mind. That's how I handled all three chapters of Twilight that I got through.

I'm struggling to figure out how to word my response to this. What you're saying is certainly a common-sense way of putting it, and you don't have to analyze something if you don't want to. But to the extent that fandom even has a purpose or a meaning beyond fluff and buttsex, that meaning involves analyzing and reinterpreting fiction. I think there's value in analyzing something even if you don't like it, and if there weren't, I don't think Fandom Secrets as a community would have a valid reason to exist.

Honestly, it seems like the anti-analysis attitude is something unique to the video game fandom. Book fans are all over analyzing stories that make them uncomfortable, and to a lesser extent, so are film fans. Video gamers are so used to people like Jack Thompson saying that video games are bad, they got used to countering by arguing that video games are fiction and shouldn't matter, and now that's the default response whenever you dissect weird morality in games.

My response wasn't about the medium. It's about the fact that if you are consuming a piece of fiction and it makes you uncomfortable, you can put it down and find something else.

The secret-maker isn't analyzing the work, they just made a secret about how it disturbs them.
