#sicko spring and summer is a way of life and it has unquestonably freed me from a rather OCD framework of fictional morality lo

being in the incest show fandom really changes ones perspective because what do you mean there are people who think tenrose is problematic? the thousand year old alien in love with a 19 year old in my children's sci-fi tv show??

hndhfhsjjasf it's kind of just a choice of how you feel like navigating your personal preferences/feelings + meeting the material where it's at/on it's own terms. like asoiaf exists in a universe where incest is both completely normalized AND traditionally reviled, and presented both erotically and as a way to interrogate ideas of hereditary power, familial abuse, and gendered structures..... if you the viewer/reader don't want to meet those relationships on those terms that's completely fine and normal! incest is very much not something most people are comfortable with, even in fiction. relationships between immortal characters and young characters, often underage girls, is a similar sort of thing. like if you don't enjoy all that that entails, absolutely. i get it! but for me personally...... i do not want to always read/watch a story about two immortal beings falling in love, and anything else is going to have a power imbalance/inherent inequality that is either baked into the premise (in doctor who's case - rose as a standin for humanity, rose as a 19 year old who is equally Old to an audience of children and Young to an audience of adults, rose as everything made impossible by the circumstances and genre trappings of the narrative... but even so....) or critiqued within it....

anyways at this point in my life the only things i deem Problematic are those that cause/enact harm on others, and anything else is a personal choice to engage based on your own comfort/enjoyment so. the worst thing a television pairing can be is boring to me <3 love monsters and aliens and supernatural creatures and their comparatively immature humans <3
