You're also allowed to write erotic fairytale fan fiction and publish it on the internet.
Just because you're allowed to do something, and by 'allowed' I assume it means, not breaking the laws written down by your local, state, and national legislative bodies, doesn't mean you should do that thing. (And, conversely, there also may be things you aren't technically allowed to do that might sometimes be a good idea to do, although any such actions should be contemplated judiciously).
- dymk 4y agoAre you saying one shouldn't write erotic fairytale fan fiction and publish it on the internet? If so, why?
- leephillips 4y agoBecause someone might accidentally read it. Unacceptable risk.
- cperciva 4y agoNot the GP, but if you're into writing erotic fanfic I'd say it's polite to avoid subject matter which might result in children being accidentally exposed to it. IIRC this was Rowling's basis for saying "Harry Potter fanfic is fine as long as it's not erotic" -- too many kids searching online for everything Harry Potter.
- mgdlbp 4y agoBecomes muddy when you account for the 'children' who write some of the erotic fanfic....
- yoyohello13 4y agoBased on my high school experience. The vast majority of erotic fantasy fanfic is written by ~13 year olds.
- avindroth 4y agoYou are replying to the title of the post, rather than the content. Most things on this list are valid and useful. Also the attack on the strawman is very elementary as well.
- photochemsyn 4y agoI'm sorry, I thought the title was a bit click-baity is all, and was following a rather worn out marketing ploy: "Liberate yourself, you're allowed to [spend money on these products]! Freedom! And here's some personal growth tips to go along with that."
- avindroth 4y agoGot it. I perceived the title as a good midpoint between clickbait and boring. What would you recommend as an alternative title? Also, if I may, you may be associating this article too heavily with the field of self-help. I personally am not a fan of self-growth tips (most are bad), but I thought this article was not bad. For instance, you don’t really think to hire a personal researcher. And also, it’s just a list, not prose selling an idea. Also most “products” on this list are abstract.
- rco8786 4y agoOr you might end up writing 50 Shades of Grey (which started as an erotic Twilight fanfic published on the internet) and set yourself and your kids up for life.
