It should be allowed to check the harddrive from certain authors

[AncestorDuck]

In the web novel community, the belief that everything is fine because it's fiction is so deeply established that I fear potential criminals are being raised.

Yeah, and I know that almost anything written in fiction could be viewed as such, but some things are just more uncomfortable than others.

The most well-known example is Mushoku Tensei. The author is a pedophile, and he even had to edit a part of the story because the publisher complained.

What is your opinion? Where do you draw the line? Do you think that, in the end, fiction is just fiction?

Wow, I had no idea, I only remember lots of people are massive fans of it. And would say, "my book is based on Mushoku Tensei."

When did this happen/become known?

Had people always known?

Should we check the duck’s hard-drive?

Many misunderstand Rudeus's character. It is commonly accepted that he used to be a piece of trash; however, most think he changed or grew up, which isn't really true. Rather, his wives just grew and weren't children anymore.

I think one certain scene shows what kind of woman he likes, when he fondles one of his daughters, mistaking her for his wife. This happened when she was still a child. He couldn't differentiate them from behind. That should say quite a bit.

You may.

Now this is a psycho take if I have ever read one.

Anyone that complains about fiction is more likely to be a pedophile than the ones writing it. The fact that you can't separate fiction from reality proves that.
Virtue signalling over FICTIONAL characters while REAL people are getting harmed everyday is insanity. THE FUCKING FBI also has a disclaimer to not bother them with fictional shit because it clogs up their hotline with bullshit complaints over REAL children being harmed. Touch some grass for fucks sake.

At the end of the day, I do believe that fiction is just fiction (in most cases, there are some insane edge cases), but I propose this:

Weirdo authors have to wear a weirdo hat wherever they go on accounts associated with their literary works. This'll show up on all their profiles and there will be a button users can press to laugh at them for being weird. In the case of physically-published authors, there will be a weirdo sticker attached to every copy of their book(s), and along with it, a QR code you can scan to send a personalized message about how much the author is a weirdo.

I think this is a safe and ethical way to prevent weirdo authors from writing weirdo books. If this was implemented in the past, it would have prevented the creation of Mushoku Tensei and we wouldn't have to deal with the fanbase it spawned that insists their diddygatari ahh ahh media is a triumph of the human artistic soul.

Just a modest proposal

so if i write a story about a criminal mc that kills people am i also a serial killer? do you see how your logic doesnt work at all?
i dislike mushoku tensei for similar reasons that you mentioned, but i dont go around calling the author a pedophile, he's not a criminal either.
some fictional shit can get weird or disgusting, but its fictional and therefore it has no weight in the real world, what "could happen or not" is never a good excuse either, people are not arrested for not doing anything just "because they could maybe", that's not how the world works, retard

I mererly pointed out the fact that some people get a little too comfortable on the internet.

good proposal but nobody should be able to take away internet anonymity from people, and everyone is free to write or draw whatever they want. your argument sounds like something a dictator would do, fiction and all of its expressions are a form of freedom. fictional characters dont exist and are not real people either. if you're annoyed or disgusted about something, just move away from where it is published, instead of demanding everything to fit your critteria instead.

This is not complety true either, because in some cases fiction is NOT just fiction. Chars can be real. An example would be fanfictions about real people like K-Idols.

ah sure i guess those are the exception, but your previous example were non-real characters lmao. stop trying to move the goalpost trying to make yourself the one in the right, you're shitting all over the place, and you're also in the wrong place too, this is literally a place where people contantly create all kinds of fiction, acting like people should be punished for writing whatever the hell they want sounds hypocrite and out of touch, go back to reddit

 

[BigBadBoi]

diddygatari ahh ahh media

You use twitter. Checks out.

I never said people should be punished. Where did you take this from? I just pointed out that some things get too easily accepted, and seeing those kinds of responses, I now fear it might even be deeper than I originally thought. There are different kinds of novels, I accept that, but some are written to insert onselfs, other are to view the journey from the sideline. And yes, it is problematic if the author writes problematic content for people to insert themselfs.

Oh no, their anonymity will be protected. No one will be doxxed, they'll just be branded for the world to see. I'm not taking away anybody's freedoms. Heavens no. They'll still be free to write whatever they want, but what I seek to do is to nudge them along the right path. It's no different than your mom pointing out a weird uncle at a family gathering as an example of what not to grow up into.

In fact, the weirdo stickers will be a badge of honor in weirdo circles. There'll be entire isolated communities by and for weirdos where they can engage in their diddygatari ahh ahh ahh media by weirdo makers with unnecessary sex scenes without fear of being judged. Meanwhile, the righteous men of God can easier avoid weirdo content.

im not a diddy ahh ahh ahh ahh blud they not like us

Ahh this is bait. You got me.

There is a difference between writing and promoting. So long as the character works in the story, it shouldn't be a problem, but it's also not really possible to define a clear line.

Writing, among other things, should be a place to explore what should not or cannot be experienced in reality. Some degree of control in those extreme, potentially dangerous cases should probably be in place, but trying to forcefully constrain stories within some bounds is asking people to break rules more creatively.

My line are hard restrictions and invasive control.

I wonder what needs to be checked for authors like Gabriel Wittkop?

My hardrives are all games lmao. Have fun checking out the 120 gigs of hoyo games and 160 gigs of steam.
