In the midst of this, OP’s therapist actually confirms that fantasies involving being a victim of noncon is pretty common! OP also thoroughly documents how they described darkshipping to their therapist (who didn’t know anything about it) in order to engender the β€˜right’ answer.

🧡Thread: I made a qrt in regards to what my psychiatrist said in general about darkshipping. Someone asked me to elaborate so I will. The appointment lasted a long time so this will be a quite a long thread. It's going to be quite general. Lets begin 1/

The only that OP doesn’t seem to have clarified is that the darkship fantasies are about fictional characters, not real children. Happily, their therapist gently sympathized, but did not outright justify OP’s disgust response. Overall, the conclusion that OP comes toβ€”

β€”that anyone whose therapist said their fantasies are normal is β€˜lying’ β€” is a SWEEPING judgement to make from the opinion/experience of one therapist who’s never heard of fanfiction before OP told them about itβ€”& despite framing, he didn’t jump to β€˜these people are PREDATORS!’

Anyway, read the thread, it will not hurt you, OP is fairly detailed about the negative light they painted darkshippers in, & the response was not nearly as alarming as I would have expected considering the framing OP’s therapist had to work within

OP’s replies made me realize: bc OP conflates fictional characters w/real ppl, they genuinely think darkshippers enjoy darkships the way the exact way some anti-shippers enjoy fantasizing about maiming, raping, or murdering darkshippers No wonder the psych responded how he did
