Look if people wanna stick to the Harkness test for their monsters, that’s fine. But when it comes down to it, it’s all fantasy.
The day we find out monsters are real is the day we have to start debating the ethics of sex with them. But today, they’re fantasy. So it literally doesn’t matter.
Well this post has given me a good block list lol.
“It’s important to model good virtues in fiction”
What the fuck? Look bud, I’m just here to post about sexy werewolves.
If those werewolves were real, then we absolutely should have a conversation about how much they actually are able to consent to sex during full moons when they lose control.
But as far as we know, they’re not real so I’ll keep writing about a pack of werewolves being unable to stop themselves from forcibly taking someone on the full moon.
Also the harkness test is for cursing friends with unwanted knowledge anyhow not a hard and fast rule
Every minion in despicable me passes the harkness test
I always assumed it was about the in-universe morality, not if it is moral to write about it. Though, I suppose the in-universe morality can be whatever the author wants for the bit.
I cursed my friends enough by informing them a vibrator doesn’t pass the Harkness Test, and raising the question of whether your hand does.
I stopped being allowed to mention the name Harkness in our household around the time I extrapolated from that to propose “the Harkness Valley”
