Fanworks often thrive in the intersection between amazing original stories and personal sexual fantasies. Parts of fandom, especially on anonymous websites, allows the border between those two to be eased away and that is a good thing there. But in most other places that border is very much intact, so when you bring your anonymous website culture to other, non-anonymised social cultures, you will naturally be met with stunned silence when it's basically your sexual fantasies you bring out in the open. It's a social etiquette blunder and embarrassment is a very natural reaction to it. Compare it to show up naked at your writing circle: it is off topic and TMI if your circle isn't very much into performance also.

I specified that smutfic is an exception and should not be brought up in public for TMI reasons.

Smutfic, shipfic and some headcanons and kinkstuffs are TMI. But that's not all fandom is. And fandom that isn't that isn't automatically "TMI" and "inappropriate" and an "offlimits topic" or at ALL comparable to showing up naked somewhere.

NAYRT

For me I wouldn't care if it were the author's original take on Sherlock and Watson or something but if it's "hurt comfort slashfic of BBC Sherlock" which expects everyone to A) know BBC Sherlock B) be up for reading gay versions of the characters C) into hurt comfort it's stretching what can be reasonably expected to be general knowledge
