just saw a booktoker say in full seriousness that we need to discuss the “absolute uselessness of spicy scenes in books” (her words, not mine) and claim that erotic content is only justifiable in literature if it “furthers the plot or character development of the book.” my sister in christ just say that you hate fun and move on. we do not need a sixty second video of you complaining that your fellow adults like adult content. fellas is it problematic to be horny without furthering your plot and character development
in the dystopia where sex scenes are only allowed if they further the plot and character development, every smut author will be put on trial
and we will be required to defend ourselves by explaining to the court in excruciatingly explicit detail just how each line of that smut scene reveals something about the characters and plot
you all have my sword and my bow and all my other various equipment.
…because I will LOVE doing this. …but everyone involved in passing judgment will HATE it, and the law will be changed within the first 90 minutes of my infodump
