the Black Mirror episode White Bear has left me with lasting psychological scars, years after I first watched it. it deeply hurt me - in fact I would say that it left me with actual trauma
I wonder what the writer of that episode would say if I told him* the effect that his story had on me. would he be apologetic? would he tell me to toughen up? would he be glad, because hurting others was his goal? maybe he wanted to hurt others so much that their behavior changes, to “make the world a better place” and all the pain he caused is worth that to him. I hope he’s happy
* I don’t even need to check to know that it’s a him

years ago someone I don’t know and will never meet reached inside of my heart and broke something. on some level I let him, because I let myself care about his characters and his story. because I trusted him with the wellbeing of my mind
causing some amount of pain was his goal. he wanted it to hurt. but how much? was I supposed to enjoy it? what did he fucking expect to happen?

people talk about certain stories “sticking with [them]” or “fucking [them] up” or other things like that. but they almost say it in a positive way, or kinda joking? so maybe some people have a much milder form of my experience with storytelling but they enjoy it
