    In my experience, most people who choose to write characters as such tend to be pretty mediocre at actually writing a character and just want to make a scene/make other people feel uncomfortable for the sake of doing so and not for any compelling narrative. It almost always comes off as just someone's edgy high school fantasy. Especially since the actual themes at play, the morality of the theming, the compulsion for someone to be as they are, the actual nuance in the behavior and what fuels it along with the motivation are never actually explored (and, even then, isn't really a whole thing you'd tend to get into with randoms wherever due to the heavier material), which is again, just clearly someone who wants to write Shock Value the Character.
    The very same could be said about almost every RP players you know, ppl tend to be mediocre at writting and it has nothing to do with what they want to write, they just can't do it right and that's normal that's not an art for nothing.
    Funny that you would tackle someone over it but only if they do stuff you clearly dont like.
    And how many books did you sold yourself to have such a comment on others ?

    If you're going to write about delicate topics, you ought to write delicately.
