Silver Tongue

lesbianbatgirl:

i hate writers with a violent passion who justify their shitty writing decisions by saying “it’s good that people are upset/hurt/angry about this, it means we’ve done our jobs as storytellers”

like fuck you, your writing doesn’t exist in a vacuum and you can’t just create any emotional response and call it successful. there’s a type of pain that comes with a really satisfying character death or heart-breaking plot twist, and then there’s the type of pain that comes from storytelling that is disturbing in a real world context. one means you’ve written something well, the other should be apologizing for and learning from. and it’s not that hard to tell the difference between the two if you take your head out of your ass for a few seconds.
