I feel like people on here forget TW actually trigger people.. They put TW, which is awesome, but it feels like writers forget that people... actually get triggered. And so many people probably read the fic regardless. People act like chucking in a TW will suddenly make it ok for everyone to read. It's ok to write books w TW, but if you're making it every single book or if it's so graphic people can't stomach it then maybe tone it down... this stuff makes me sad to see.

Honestly I don't  read fanfics anymore because people feel the need to make it soo depressing. I completely understand venting but all this bs is like (TW: su!c!de and TW Self-h@rm) like it's just not enjoyable to read. It leaves me feeling worse than when I opened wattpad and lonlier than before. I wouldn't mind as much if it wasn't. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. I know I know most of these are emo, but can we normalise being happy? And enjoying what you're reading? I don't wanna read about how my celebrity crush is suffering with an ED for an hour. I'm sorry but this stuff sucks - why is it so extreme for no reason?
