Is gory art a red flag in dating?
Hello! So I met this ADORABLE butch (they/them) at a local shop. I started looking through their instagram and noticed that they had a page that displayed their artwork. The artwork made me feel a little sick I'll be honest. There was a lot of blood, bodies depicted in gruesome ways, and even one that was supposed to be a bunch of skins of women sewn together in a bloody ball.
Personally, I know I'm ultra sensitive to this type of thing- I can't even watch the most tame horror movie. I have a brand of autism where I REALLY struggle with understanding what is real and what's fake, so when I see such depictions of violence, I have to convince myself I'm not seeing a real crime scene in front of me.
I also know art is meant to grab your attention and make you think. But because it has a heavy theme of violence against women, should I be worried? Is this a red flag I should take seriously?
