β¦οΈ If you wrote some lines of poetry or a song…
β¦οΈ If you painted, drew, or doodled something…
β¦οΈ If you edited pieces of something else preexisting in a way that evokes a deliberate mood, theme, or idea…
Your art is valuable no matter what inspired it, no matter how good you think it is, no matter what it is about.
Please keep creating art, even if some people try to discourage you, call your art bad, or have contempt for it’s content.
Art enriches the world, always. Your art enriches the world.

Kindness: treating others with the gentleness we’d like to be treated, rather than stooping to the level of our opponents.
Justice: defending the rights of our fiction creators to not be treated cruelly or as criminals, and taking a stand against censorship.
Bravery: refusing to be terrorized by harassers into hiding our content; and creating an environment to embolden others to share their creativity.
Freedom: maintaining the ideal that others can share their taboo and dark creative works, even if those are not themes we’re personally interested in.
Enjoying something in fiction does not require you to grovel for forgiveness.

π Fiction isn’t brainwashing.
π Enjoying dark, taboo or disturbing fiction doesn’t override your morals or willpower.
π Fiction doesn’t turn people into criminals or abusers.
