I saw a commented on an edit made about mature saying they found chapter six ‘fucked up’ so I just wanted to quickly talk about it!
TW: SA
Chapter 6 is admittedly quite an uncomfortable read, however I would like to defend myself.
I think we need to normalise SA representation, because it’s a very real thing that loads of people struggle with and you are not supposed to feel comfortable reading it. I’m very against people writing SA in a ‘desirable’ way and I think that is sick, but i don’t personally think I wrote chapter 6 like that, please correct me if I’m wrong but I tried not to include anything graphic because I myself do get uncomfortable with SA. I was very torn weather to even go through with chapter 6 because I was scared someone would react like this.
And I don’t mean to come across as rude saying this, but I had a trigger warning. Do not read an SA scene if you feel it will make you uncomfortable, because with all due respect, your feelings are out of my control.
If you don’t enjoy mature because of its themes I completely understand that! And I am sorry if I’ve made anyone uncomfortable. But I am a minor and it makes me slightly uncomfortable when someone says my book made them feel ‘dirty’.
Anyway, I’m so so so thankful for all the people who did love mature! And thank you for reading it!
