Gruff fiction is, contrary to what many believe, not the subversive and despicable pastime it is often portrayed to be.
At its core, gruff fiction illustrates the reversal of what is accepted to be the “normal” personality of a being (real or fictional). So, a normally positive, happy, fun force or personality like Fijjit Mejora becomes dark, brooding and cruel. The reverse is true also. Some of history’s darkest figures, such as Harv Gretborn, inventor of the dreaded Gravion Process, have gruff fiction stories floating around, portraying them as far more decent people than they actually were.
All in all, Gruff Fiction isn't the haven of degeneracy many people make it out to be. While writers often incorporate less than savory elements in their work, that is not true about all of them. It is also an unfair assertion that all readers of gruff fiction are just as crazy as the writers.
