Girlies and non girlies of the jury,
Horror and its sister genres are pretty interesting from a standpoint of healthy consumption, because they’re the only genres I can think of that require aftercare.
Not only do you need to be in the right headspace to consume it, but you can’t go overboard with it no matter how fun it feels in the moment, and you really need to know when to take a step back and watch/read/play/talk about something lighter. And if you don’t practice safety with the genre, you risk genuinely hurting yourself.
I tend to liken Horror Communities to Kink Communities in their functionality for a lot of reasons, but this is a pretty interesting manifestation of that that I’ve never really seen people bring up before. Horror’s my favorite genre, and it means the world to me, but knowing when to take a breather is incredibly important to one’s health and experience of it.
it’s wild to me how there is literally ZERO correlation between what a piece of media is like and what its fanworks are like. 2014 captain america fans were out there writing poetry and full-on academic papers inside of their fics. sonic the hedgehog and my little pony fandoms are both famous for drawing fetishes you’ve never even heard of. les miserables fans spent most of their energy on college aus. there is literally no consistency or observable pattern and it’s incredible
