Re: Is this problematic or not? (warning: mention of domestic abuse)

[(Anonymous)]

Personally, I dislike when fanfic gets preachy, and I don't try to press any particular viewpoint when I write. People who are aware that [whatever] is a problem, are generally able to understand that just because I write X being mean to Y doesn't mean I am advocating [whatever]. I feel like it's actually bad storytelling to take a side, when you should be objective and let the characters speak for themselves instead of parroting some political stance just to serve as a disclaimer.

Okay, I kind of misread your post, so to clarify: you are writing as if the guy should get out of the relationship. Do you mean that the character thinks to himself, he needs to get out, or you the narrator are constructing the story in a way that points toward this message? Because the former is fine in my opinion, but the latter is when I start getting annoyed.

I think you misread:

"writing them without the intent or message that the guy getting abused should get out. I'm kinda writing about how he'll take anything that gets dished out and still loves the abusive guy, and the abusive guy is meant to be sympathetic..."

Oh good god. Yeah, I give up. Failing all over the place today.

OP here: er, are you talking to me? 'Cause there's another anon (I think?) replying to you who isn't me.

I'm not writing either, the fic doesn't really have a message about domestic abuse, which is what my friend was concerned about. It just has general angst and complicated feelings. To tell the truth, the fic's scope is bigger than that — it gets into other implications about the abusive guy trying to control his behavior in non-domestic situations too and kind of struggling with it and being kind of afraid of his mind playing tricks on him. There's this whole situation that makes it impossible to just deal with it openly and I would go into it in more detail if I could but I don't want to get recognizably specific.
