(Anonymous) 2014-08-03 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)I admit I am not into BDSM even as fantasy material: in fact, I love slash precisely because it bypasses the inherent power imbalance of het relationships, so BDSM, a/b/o stuff and all other tropes that restore/accentuate/replace that power imbalance are not my cup of tea, but there is so much of it nowadays since BDSM has become trendy(*), that of course I have read my share of all of these.
And the part I really cannot stand is exactly the proselytizing you describe that so often accompanies such fics: but the seeming urge to convert everyone to their worldview is creepy and truly off-putting, much more so than the BDSM itself.
Sexual kinks of any type are fine by me if no one gets hurts, but lecturing and amateurish attempts at brain-washing are just not OK in my book.
Note:
(*) I can't even blame the success of Fifty Shades since it's an effect, not the cause for the growing popularity of the BDSM trope in fanfiction over the past few years.
