Why I dislike MLC

[apollinav]

Yes, I'm aware that I'm being a hipocrite.  Thank you.  I've just finished posting Ch 61 of my MLC Fic.

MLC for some girls out there is real.  There's nothing glorious about forced marriage.  A lot of MLCs romanticise them - not to knock any particular author.  MLC is fiction.  This is real life.  Big difference.  I get it.

But this still bothers me.  

And I'm not going to listen to 'cultural sensitivity issues' bullcrap - I don't care that it's a cultural practice.   According to my values, it's morally wrong.

You are not a hypocrite. You -- and your readers -- know the difference between fantasy and reality.

And I am glad there are groups and some govenments trying to help these girls and women get out of these real-life forced marriages. Let's hope this is the last generation that sees this problem!

It sounds like France is a day late and a Euro short, but the attempt is being made. But it's still highly disturbing.

Thank God I have my rights.
