[Trigger Warning: Will be talking about racism, rape, abuse, and things of the such]
So. I just got recommended a book.
It was Vikklan, which is already meh. (No hate on it, I just don't personally ship it that much)
But it was about Vik being a slave.
...I'll let you figure out what is wrong with that.
IS THAT PERSON A FUCKING IDIOT
AND IT HAD 5K READS
ANNNND SOMEONE WHO I ACTUALLY LIKED, READ AND COMMENTED POSITIVELY ON THE BOOK.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE.
I just checked and the person who wrote it, follows me. So. They may see this.
So. If you know who you are: I'm personally saying fuck you.
Like, okay.
They said in the prologue 'I AM NOT RACIST!!' Which, by the way, if you ever need to clarify that over something you wrote? Chances are, you're a bad person.
And this person said they only made Vik the slave cause 'he's the submissive'
Uhm. Lachlan Power Bottom is real and saying he's a top is /wrong/
#FightMeAboutIt
Even IF this person wanted to write about Vik being a slave, which they shouldn't, they should've added in something. Aka, sugarcoat it. They added in that Vik got abused (emotionally, physically, sexually) since he was eleven. ELEVEN. YOU DON'T WRITE ABOHT THINGS LIKE THIS. OR IF YOU DO, (I have. I'm so sorry that I have), ADD WARNINGS. Especially with the sexually abusive things. That's rape and it's not okay, people could react badly from reading those types of things.
Like. Maybe if they made Vik a hybrid (like, have cat ears n tail or something) and make it so he wasn't sexually abused and it wasn't really fucked up, then maybe. Just maybe.
OR.
If you're writing about someone being a slave, which is a serious topic that has happened in the past, don't romanticize it. Just make it focus on the character. Don't make them fall in love with the person owning them.
This is all coming from a white person, by the way. A white person, telling another white person (I think they were white. They posted a photo of themselves and looked rlly white) not to write about this kind of stuff and why it's wrong.
Huh.
Racism is so fucked up. I have to deal with it in my life and ugh. And by that, I mean I have to deal with my parents saying racist stuff about other races. White people don't get racism lmao we're privileged and anyone who says otherwise, needs to go to fucking history class.
Anyways.
Don't write about POC being slaves, unless it's for a good reasons. To inform. To show their fight. Not to see them fall in love with the one who owns them.
I didn't finish this fanfic cause I just couldn't. It was all over the place in not only the plot, but the chapters. They added very personal chapters in there instead of writing storyline.
I'm just upset. I've seen some fucked up shit on Wattpad, and that has taken the cake for the most what the fuck one.
Here's how I look at it, to anyone writing something about irl people: Imagine them finding your story. Imagine how they would react, seeing you write about them like that and make them do those things.
With my own story, Bombshell Blonde, I feel like they'd get a laugh out of it and at most, would get uncomfortable with the whole sex/gay and genderfluid stuff. With Camp Pica, they'd be grossed out and laugh. With any of the adopted books, they would get very uncomfortable and I'm sorry about that. I'm deeply sorry.
So imagine if someone found a fanfic about them being a slave. It's just, not something that would settle well.
I'm ranting now holy shit an actual rant. It's a miracle.
I know. I wrote about really harsh subjects in the past. I was a young idiot who thought it was okay to write about that, such as rape. It's not. It's obviously not. I have now since added warnings in the description to inform others. Because that's not okay.
I'm annoyed about this now and a friend said something that now rlly made me upset and I'm just in an awful fucking mood. I'm salty and really annoyed. I'm still just a child, but it annoys me how someone could do something like that.
If the person who wrote it sees this, you don't have to comment or anything. I'm leaving you slightly anon. I haven't said your username but have talked about your story quite a bit. So, it's your move now.
Lastly. If any of you reading this, thinks it's okay to write about these things and see no problem. Unfollow me. Get this book out of your library. Leave. I don't want unintelligent pricks here.
I'm still just a white person so hey, some points with the racism may be wrong. I'm sorry if it is, deeply. They don't teach me this here in Canada. It's what I learned in my own time. With the other points, I feel as if I got them.
Watch this chapter get turned private by Wattpad because it 'breaks the rules,' which is what they did with my sex chapter lmao I'm fucking done.
