THIS oh my god.
Like just because I ship fictional incest doesnāt mean I wanna fuck my cousin. I donāt wanna rape someone because I write noncon. I donāt want to abuse someone because I write toxic dynamics. Itās honestly mindblowing how antis literally cannot differentiate between fiction and reality.
For a whileāafter being exposed to the antiship movement, because goodness knows I didn't care about this when I was youngerāI wondered *why* fiction and reality were so different in my head. Why I could happily see things depicted in fiction that would make me sick to my stomach or upset me to tears just from thinking of it happening in real life. I couldn't come up with a reason for this for a while, which caused me distressed and made me worried that I might secretly be a terrible person after all.
But I've done some thinking and I've figured it out. Or, rather, I've returned to the mindset that came so easy to me in the past and probably did to a lot of people before the well was poisoned.
When I see a fictional character, I don't see a person. I don't see a person like *me*, anyway. I see a person within that piece of fiction's universe; a plane of existence that is wholly different from my own. Lines and colour, words on a page, virtual drawings being played sequentially at a speed that simulates movement. Sure, the written passage, 'He had eyes, ears and a mouth' is a representation of what *I* am, and what other people around me are, but it is fundamentally a plane of existence that is *alien* to me.
An alien is something that is decidedly not human. I feel empathy for other humans because I can relate to them. I have no desire to hurt them because I either know what it is like to be hurt in that way, or I can imagine what it would be like. I know the harm it would do to them, which illicits a reaction of disgust and apprehension in me. 'That's terrible,' I think, which simply kills any desire to cause any harm to a real person or do any disgusting actions.
This is why predators are such terrible people. They are fully aware of the harm their actions will cause and then go ahead with them anyway.
But with a fictional character, it's different in these ways:
1. First of all, we have to remember that they AREN'T human and so whatever I feel towards them cannot accurately mirror whatever I feel towards real flesh and blood individuals. They're projections of humanity from OTHER people in whatever medium they choose, but fictional characters areāand I cannot stress this enoughāNOT HUMAN. If I pull off the head of a Barbie doll, does that mean I have the desire to behead someone in real life? Does it mean that I MUST have the urge to behead someone in real life, because a barbie doll is a 'representation' of a person? Your answer, I'm hoping, is no. Because Barbie is not human.
2. And because fictional characters are not human, I don't have empathy for them. Not REAL empathy, anyway, the type that stops the desire to cause harm. When I 'violate' a fictional character, it illicits at most only superficial disgust because I know that character will not live with the lasting consequences of my actions. They're a projection, a facsimile.
So that might bring you to another question, 'Even if they're not real, why would you WANT to do that to them, anyway?'
That I can't answer. The human brain is weird. Sometimes, people have dark urges. If a kid tosses their Barbie onto the ground and seems to take pleasure in it falling, can that accurately say they want to push a real person onto the ground? If someone seems to enjoy a violent video game like GTA where they can run people over and shoot them to their heart's content, is that a surefire way to know that they want to do those things to real people? I wouldn't say it is. Would you?
The final thing to remember is that it's not completely black and white. A serial killer might have been 'inspired' by a violent horror story, whereas the actual author of that story is a nice, well-adjusted individual. People with the desire to hurt actual humans might make do with projections, but it does not change the fact that they actually want to HARM people. The fiction didn't make them want to do that. They already did, and probably would have even if they didn't discover said fiction. And horrible people CAN make their own 'projections'.
Generally though I believe it is obvious when someone is just playing with dolls, and when someone is exhibiting an actual desire to hurt somebody.

So for me every character is bisexual until I say otherwise. With that on mind, here is my hc for djd learning they are bi:
Jonathan: he is a mess, he can't breath, he is crying and he is sure he's gonna die from a heart attack. He was raised as catholic and same sex relationships are outrageous and demonic in this religion, so he believes he's gonna go to hell and be damned forever. He also don't know that it's possible for liking both sexes, and just thinks he is now gay for some reason, like he was cursed. What bugs his mind is that he is still very much attracted to girls as he is to boys, so he is double confused by the end of the day.
Dio: he genuinely thinks everyone is kinda gay so he doesn't really gives a fuck, even when he is taught that homosexuality is a sin. In his mind, if Jesus died for our sins, he should be able to sin as he pleases or else His death would go to waste. Chaotic bi at heart.

rohan probably drinks carbonated water exclusively
What are your f/os drinking habits. I'm not talking alcohol. I'm talking, is your f/o the most dehydrated motherfucker in the building, do they have a crippling dr pepper addiction, do they cringe at the sight of soda? Are their species even able to drink anything but water?
