Haha, that's one way to look at it. Seriously though, that is in fact a positive attitude towards the content that can vastly transform the experience of the posts for the better.

It's the old question of liking something despite knowing it's (probably) fake: Usually it doesn't hurt, and can in fact mean that literally nobody got hurt.

But there's a general tendency of such content attracting hatred: If it does not explicitly identify itself as fictional, people don't like the idea of it being believed to be true.
