no good explanation, just pedophiles being pedophiles

Proship and dark content isnβt new, and a lot of people use it specifically because itβs fiction. It gives them a space to process things that are messy, scary, or painful in a way that doesnβt bleed into real-life harm. Thatβs why some therapists actually do suggest fictional projection, itβs a safer place to explore trauma, power dynamics, or taboo ideas without endangering yourself or others. Is it weird? Yeah, sometimes. But weird isnβt always bad. Fiction isnβt real. And for people whoβve been through serious stuff, being able to engage with βgrossβ things in a controlled space can actually be grounding. Even healing. I remember reading some studies in media psychology that suggest that people are drawn to dark, morally complex stories because they stimulate empathy, increase emotional processing, and can help people explore parts of themselves in a non-destructive way. lol sorry for yapping
