Obviously. However, even in conservative circles, the idea that you can pre-emptively cheat on your future spouse by simply dating is not generally widespread.

Of course it's a fringe idea. But in case you haven't noticed, fandom is chock a block with fringe thinkers of all stripes.

True. I just wouldn't expect to see people from these sorts of circles hanging around in fandom (and especially shippy corners of fandom), because that doesn't fit in with the sorts of activities that tend to be approved.

Not saying it can't happen (because clearly it can, or we wouldn't be having this conversation), or even that these sorts of ideas wouldn't spill over into less-fringey communities. It just strikes as being unusual, you know?

Not really. It's forbidden fruit. The temptation to look and be shocked by it is too great to ignore.

That works if we're talking about adults who are out on their own. It doesn't work if we're talking about minors or adults who are living with their parents (because their internet use would be monitored). And in some cases, it doesn't work if we're talking about women (because...their internet use would be monitored).

Buuuut. Given the scandals that have cropped up in this subculture in the past year or so, I think there's definitely gotta be people who are venturing outside the sanctioned box. And there's got to be a degree of tension between "this is interesting" and "I believe that this is wrong," which would lead to some, uh, interesting takes on media (assuming they're consuming the media that we're assuming they're consuming).
