Reblog this post in the next 42 seconds and the next time something good happens today, you’ll remember this post and your brain will form a false causal relationship!
And if you don’t reblog this post then the next time something bad happens, your brain will form an even stronger false causal relationship!
(Because human brains are hardwired for pattern recognition to identify cause/effect relationships. But we’re not always great at that, especially when we’re trying to confirm preexisting suggestions. And that’s where our idea of luck comes from.)
I wonder where the break happened that such wide swaths of younger fans don’t grasp fandom things that used to be unspoken understandings. That fic readers are expected to know fiction from reality, that views expressed in fic are not necessarily those of the author, that the labels, tags and warnings on various kinkfics are also the indication that they were created for titillation and not much more, please use responsibly as per all pornography. The ‘problem’ isn’t that so-called ‘problematic’ fic exists but that some of the audience is being stupid, irresponsible, at worst criminal, at best not old enough to be in the audience to begin with. And that’s on the consumer, not the author who told you via labels, tags, ratings, warnings and venues what their fic was about and what it was for.
