the way this is phrased to avoid confronting the reality that people can’t afford food anymore

"People are so poor they can't afford food": Bad headline; makes readers worried or angry or both.

"Food companies offer bargains!": Interesting, uplifting story.

Do not mention: The "bargains" are "smaller sized boxes so they can get sales of $5 for 6 oz people who can't afford the $10/lb option," not any actual reduction in price.

Hot fandom discourse take but framing dark content as only being acceptable if its a vehicle for exploring personal trauma is just giving ground to the puritan segments of fandom.

Simply liking dark content for its own sake is perfectly fine.

It also opens the door for random strangers to interrogate people about their trauma to determine if they're "allowed" to write dark content, only to then most likely turn around and use that sensitive information against them anyways.
