Post Body

I’ve noticed that a lot of people on this sub seem to be extremely adverse to pretty much any kind of story that makes them “uncomfortable.” People will say stuff like “don’t do rape or gore because it’s gratuitous”, “don’t make your villain do this really disturbing thing”, or “don’t do sex scenes because it’s unnecessary.” Like, that pretty much disqualifies entire genres from being written, outside of the most safe, bland, PG-13 sort of stuff. We don’t all want to read just Harry Potter (not to dunk on Harry Potter or anything, as I also love that series).
