It's actually really difficult to have a good conversation about the SA issue at the moment, because a lot of noncon enjoyers and RS shippers take the criticism as a personal attack, when it just isn't. There's a reason that the whole
>writers thinly disguised fetish
thing is a trope that people want to avoid when writing narratively. If you're too gratuitous viewers can pick up on it very easily, and with more 'problematic' kinks this becomes an issue. This might not be a worry if the tone is set from the beginning that this piece of media is attempting to eroticize 'problematic' content. Look at any extreme horror from the 70s, films like Nekromantic, I Spit on Your Grave, and Snuff made no bones about what they were, so the viewer knew what they were going into. Viv's problem is that she wants to moralize the content as an excuse to display it (Angel), or use fan service (Alastor) as a way to justify it. Eventually people are going to start asking questions when your 3rd or 4th twink is sexuality abused gratuitously. They already are on TikTok and YouTube. There's more than enough room for this content in fandom without having to include it in the show proper.

Glad he'll be there soon to help take the edge off. If it's of any solace it's exactly what I did for the rest of Wednesday evening after I'd finished my daily obligations. I just held him and cried until my husband came up and held me while I clutched my daki. So I get it. Get through however you need to.
