If it's glorified, yeah, chances are I'm gonna ditch the series just on that alone. But if the character feels sorrow for what's been done, tries to change, etc, it's more likely to be ok with me. Of course, this doesn't apply to explicit material of any kind, but I'm sure you knew that...
I'm pretty close to you there. I don't really like when
anything questionable is handled as if it has no even small consequences or it's *glorified* in the sense of being the ideal or what *should* happen.
However if the handling of a questionable issue or action is as evenhanded as possible (i.e. both "bad" and "good" consequences of said questionable action are brought up in a reasonable and honest way) or negative (i.e. the character entirely regrets what he/she's done, it was used to show just *how* evil/desperate/psycho/misled the character(s) are) then I'm somewhat hard to offend to the point of boycotting or whatnot.
Needless to say, I don't like explicit material either. Themes, implications, that's no real problem to me-but at a certain point any good writer needs to know when they are going from being honest to being sick or mercenary as a writer and attempting to go for cheap garbage/fanservice for the boors.
As for you, Gremio, and anyone else, it's fine if you don't read my blog. We all have different convictions (and maybe I don't have as many as I probably should
) and if you or anyone else feel that reading my blog is wrong, I don't want you there. I don't want to cause people to sin. -^.^-
but there's some, erm. . .stuff I don't want to mention for fear of being banned.
