The accpetance of snuff in stories

[sheilagirl]

Why the Hell should it not be acceptable to read about it here? It's accepted everywhere else. (movies, books, etc.) Why not here? It's only unacceptable (and damn well should be) when someone can't keep it on a fantasy level and has to practice it for real.

It is totally not right for someone else to decide what I can read/write. If I commit a crime, then of course that's wrong and I'm subject to punishment by others, BUT I sure haven't commited a crime if I write fiction about it. What I can't understand is WHY so many people can't see this simple yet VAST difference.
