Summary
I can’t remember who prompted this au.
I’ve never seen this catfish show. And I feel all kinds of weird about this prompt, because a dear friend of mine was recently catfished, I can tell you that it’s a really horrible thing to do to a person, it’s a betrayal and it’s cruel and actually really hurts people, especially kind, good people who want to see the good in other people and are more trusting.
And I won’t hear any victim-blaming bullshit that they shouldn’t trust people – seriously, is that the kind of world you want to live in, where we can’t trust each other? We should be aiming our attention at the people doing this disgusting practice and trying to make the world a less cruel place, so we can actually at least somewhat trust our fellow human beings.
I’ve also heard that people sometimes catfish other people out of revenge because the person being catfished is a dick… that i’m less worried about. It’s catfishing people just for fun, just random innocent people, that bothers me.
And some people catfish because they think they’re too ugly and can’t get someone. In this case we need to be working on self-esteem, cos lying to someone really isn’t going to get you into a relationship with them.
