What ‘Fiction Affects Reality’ Does Mean: Major movies, TV shows, comics and books have a large cultural impact and can alter how we perceive issues like race, lgbtqa+ rights and environmental change as a society, and while this does not mean that all media should be ideologically pure, we should be critical of the media we consume and support in an effort to be progressive, as well as ensure that media is flagged with appropriate warnings and age recommendations.

What It Does Not Mean: A group of less than 1,000 people on the internet writing and enjoying a ship that is morally questionable is going to shape society to accept things like pedophillia and abusive relationships, and therefore we should waste time and effort on harassing those people in a meaningless moral crusade because they clearly are monsters who cannot differentiate between media and reality or see issues as black and white.
