@leangarnero@le_creature_fan@dotflow_ uh, yeah, I would hope that the reader knows its wrong. I think part of the fetish for some people in that is knowing its wrong.
Your position is that the intent doesn't matter because of the reader's interpretation and that's not really what i'm talking about.
@leangarnero@le_creature_fan@dotflow_ nobody is saying you cant but there is a tasteful way to do everything and portrayal for the sake of portrayal feels more like fetishization than an actual meaningful take on the subject
