Partly because I think it would help me process for when it inevitably happens again in real life; and partly because I have a fantasy that someday somebody will manage to respond to being me-too'd in a way that it's actually believable they've changed for the better, and I've given up on hoping it'll happen in real life.

Partly because, especially when an SA story like the current one is yet again all over fandom, it starts to bug me than fandom almost never does address these things in fic? There's a lot of "I can enjoy mass murder, but I draw the line at sexual harassment!!" in fandom, where guys are written as doing all kinds of terrible shit and crossing people's boundaries willy-nilly, but of course they have always been incredibly careful about sexual consent. And I get where that comes from and the fantasy of the bad boy who's careful with only you, and even like the fantasy sometimes, but sometimes I stop being able to believe in that specific fantasy and I want a story where he is actually the kind of dude he probably would be in real life (especially in fandoms where he pulls that boundary-crossing shit onscreen and the fic just decides it's not canon.) Plus I've been in RPF fandoms where people did the exact same thing with their boundary-crossing RL celebrities and it is a lot easier to end up unsafe places when you transfer the "he's an asshole to everyone else but a good boyfriend" fantasy to real people, so it sometimes give me the willies when it's that universal as fanon.

But mostly: it's interesting to think about what fictional people and their loved ones would do in that situation where there are no real people to get hurt, and it makes for actually a really good complicated character storyline that you can go a lot of different places with. It gets all the characters out of their comfort zones and into new character arcs real fast.

Huh. That all sounds incredibly unpleasant to me but the heart wants what the heart wants!
