Is it better to avoid bringing drama to a drama-free community?

[personal profile] feotakahari 2015-03-14 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I post on a writing site that's almost completely devoid of drama and wank. The fundamentalist Christians only cause trouble when someone intentionally provokes them, the preachy feminist who liked to needle them quit because not enough people were paying attention to her, and even the creepy fetishist is starting to wise up after a few mod warnings. The last person left who still creates drama is me.

Because a lot of my stories hit on issues of gender and sexuality, I naturally have questions about how that should be written. When I ask these questions, there's a chance of creating angry flamewars that go on for pages, although that's not my intent and doesn't always happen. I like having a peaceful site that rarely does flamewars, and I'm sure a lot of other posters do, too. When is it better to avoid starting topics and asking for opinions?

The only answer I can give you is "it's just a matter of judgment."

That said, in a situation like the one you outline here, I would tend to err on the side of avoiding drama.

Can't you find a different writing community that's more open to the topics your stories broach?

It doesn't sound as though you're going to get any decent or educated answers posting to a community that doesn't get what you write in the first place.
