Okay can I get real with you all for second? Why is SA becoming a theme in fanfiction lately! Please tell me I'm not the only one whose been seeing this!
Lately, I've been looking for something new to read! (Mainly a Solo Leveling fanfic) and like almost every book I checked out cause it looked interesting had the main character (who's female) be SA'd in the first chapter!!
⚠️⚠️WITH NO WARNING PUT ANYWHERE IN THE CHAPTER OR THE DESCRIPTION OF THE STORY!!⚠️⚠️
I would understand if it was a story of self healing and overcoming the trauma but it doesn't help the story at all!! It's not talked about between partners, they don't heal AT ALL from it, and it's brought up in full detail EVERY SINGLE CHAPTER!!
It's honestly making me uncomfortable and pissing me off because NO WARNING!!
⚠️⚠️⚠️Like HELLO!?!?⚠️⚠️⚠️
People actually go through stuff like this and to throw it in a story because you think it'll make your character stronger because they overcame it or WHATEVER the intention is behind that does not make the story a good one!! Nor does that mean you can add something serious like that and then not talk about it, write the character slowly healing overtime, or SOMETHING!!
It's all the same in these other stories as well! It's really PISSING ME OFF! Cause I don't wanna read something like that if you're not going to address what happened in the story and that person starts HEALING from the trauma that happened! ESPECIALLY if they're in a relationship!
That's just not my cup of tea! I don't like when stories have serious situations in them like that because I just get so uncomfortable and I can't keep reading even if the story is about self healing and overcoming trauma! I just can't keep reading! It makes me emotional and I cry like a baby!! At the end of the day, if you are going to write a story like that with a serious topic of trauma!! DO YOUR RESEARCH ON HOW TO HEAL FROM THE TRAUMA AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PUT A WARNING IN THE DESCRIPTION AND CHAPTER!!
