if someone is not able to distinguish between fiction (regardless of the medium) and reality, then the problem is much deeper than pearl-clutching religious fanatics insist on believing, and will NOT be solved by abolishing all the "bad" fiction
i would argue that religion itself plays a large part in developing these problematic attitudes from early childhood, especially towards sex
You mean constantly displaying sexuality as evil and interest in it as sinful leads to a unhealthy sexuality? Say it ain't so
1b. punishment is unimaginable suffering for eternity
side effects of psychological damage, suicide, sociopathic tendencies, etc. don't matter in the slightest to the people collecting your tithes and controlling your behavior-- so, rather the same as social media
tl;dr: people in a perpetual state of unfulfillable desire are easy to control
i think if less tolerance for religion became more commonplace, it might be better for mental health in general honestly.

Yeah. It's always been perplexing me that people who seem mentally okay in other ways can seem to think fiction and reality are basically the same thing.
Glad to see this opinion organically. I have been feeling like its moving more and more toward censure. I always thought japan pretty much had it right and then they took a step back. If its not real, its not real. I honestly don't care about any fictional stuff be it writing or painting.
the owner class wants it that way. if you can get people to throw reason, facts, evidence, and everything else out the window in order to genuinely believe that 2+2=5, then you can tell them anything you want, and they will kill people over the matter. see: literally all of maga
We've been trying to make this exact argument to the exact same group of people since the earliest days of D&D and I'm sure someone was having the same conversation about some other thing before that. 😠
They used to think novels were bad for women in the 18th and 19th centuries bc they worried they were too dumb to separate fact from fantasy

Don't worry, maga will get us back there soon enough...
