Re: Controversial Unpopular Opinions?

Personally, I have the same standards for fiction as I do for real life. I mean, I'll read about all kinds of things that I find awful, but I want them to be treated as awful.

I genuinely do get this. I'm like this 95% of the time myself, and it used to be more like 99% of the time. That's why I was an anti (or at least agreed with anti's) for a long time. Because I couldn't fathom how someone could find something hot in fiction but not have some kind of interest in it IRL, (even if they were in denial about that interest). I didn't understand how people could feel so different about the idea of a thing and the reality of said thing. That's just not how fantasy/kink works for me the vast, vast majority of the time.

It took me a long time to genuinely believe that people with dark, fucked up kinks weren't just lying about not being into that stuff in real life (or lying to themselves about it because they didn't want to admit it).

But IMO, going by all I've observed in fandom over all these years, most of those people aren't lying. Their relationship with kink is just different than mine. Less literal and direct, I guess? Less of a one-to-one, straight across thing.

You said it took you a long time to realize people aren't actually lying, what changed that now you think they're not lying? I'm just trying to wrap my head around this concept because it just really makes no sense to me at all.
