Is it bad that I agree?

No, no it's not bad that you agree. See title of comment. I'mma sit down and rant a moment. I just said I wasn't going to get involved in another comment but I guess I will.

Everyone in this thread is being so bratty and ridiculous. Secret OP is picking fanfics their own way, and if they don't want to read anything but hardcore dirty smut, who gives a fuck? If they're also glad they're avoiding people like lemon-heart secret anon who have this weird "MUAHHHAHAHA I HAVE IT YOU'LL JUST NEVER SEE IT" vendetta going on with their fans...well then that's their prerogative, I want to avoid people like that too in all honesty. If they feel they only want to support smut authors, whooooooooo cares? They're not DOING FANDOM WRONG or whatever petty bullshit people are coming up with, and throwing out the hyperbolic crap lie "OMG DO YOU DO THAT WITH ALL THE MEDIA YOU CONSUME LOLLOLLOLOL!?!", like come on are you people really listening to yourselves? Maybe step away from the bails of hay you all are using to create giant strawmans and think on your own for a second.

Do you know for how many people fandom is literally just a place to read dirty stories that they aren't going to get in canon? It certainly is for me. I enjoy watching Attack On Titan or Hawaii 5-0 or Criminal Minds or whatever else, and I enjoy the media for what it is...but you know what?

Sometimes I just want to read fic where Levi bends Eren over a chair and fucks him raw. Or sometimes I want to read where Reid somehow gets roped into cross-dressing for a case and that leads to Derek taking him in the hotel room they're staying in. Sometimes I wanna read how Danny's frustration with Steve boils over into worry and a boatload of sexual tension that they preferably take care of like grunting wild fuckpig animals.

If I want the original media, I'll read the original media. For me, fandom, fanfiction and fanart is largely about getting my rocks off, and fuck all these weird insinuations that this is somehow doing fandom wrong, or not part of what fandom is for, or whatever other bullshit everyone is coming up with in this thread.

Fandom is about wish fulfillment if you strip it to the bare bones, and if part of that wish fulfillment is deciding that you're only going to invest your time in fic if you get a messy sweaty porn scene at some point? That's just as valid as the person deluding themselves that reading a sprawling AU is somehow "better" because it's a different type of wish fulfillment. Whether the porn is emotional (because that's all these ubiquitous flower shop/coffee house/etc AUs are, and that's all hurt/comfort fic is, and many more), or physical, people are looking to get off in one way or another, and these types of fics absolutely dominate the fandom landscape.

Also, nowhere do I see where this secret OP says they feel people "owe" them porn. They're deliberatorly going to where the porn is in order to find it, that's like the opposite of feeling like non-porn authors "owe" them shit. They're deliberately going out of their way to avoid authors like lemon-heart secret OP. Nowhere does it say "I HARASS AUTHORS UNTIL THEY GIVE ME PORN, OF WHICH I AM ENTITLED TO". Like wtf? Anyone want to take a crack at explaining where the fuck they're getting all this "OWE" bullcrap?

/Rant fucking OVER

SA

That would be "deliberately" in that last paragraph, that is the weirdest fucking autocorrect/two word mashup/whatever the hell it was ding fuck up I've ever see though.

If it makes you feel any better, I read right over it.

Yeah, I dunno what was going on there. I'm making a couple typos as I go along because typing on a phone is hard as hell but that one was a weird autocorrect deal.

Bra-fucking-vo.

I don't know if this is good or bad.

This entire thread is frustrating as hell though, it reminds me of the kind of jumping to the absolute worst conclusions without parsing the actual text for context that tumblr is pretty famous for.

I love this place, but over the last few years it's become the sort of place where it's common for people to jump in and assume the worst interpretation of anything must be the true interpretation, and whoever they're reading is just a giant worthless piece of shit.

It's sadly not just tumblr.

Yeah, I'm starting to think this is what happened in this thread. It's like you need to figure out literally every eventuality that people might think of (like "I like to read porn fics pretty much most of the time" somehow turned into "PORN IS THE ONLY THING I CONSUME EVER AND PEOPLE OWE ME IT, I KEEP A GROUP OF KIDNAPPED AUTHORS IN THE BASEMENT WHO WRITE IT FOR ME, OR ELSE IT GETS THE HOSE AGAIN" in people's minds) and write it down otherwise people think they're justified in inferring the most insane, stupid shit about the secret writers. I see this a lot on here now. It's sad, because this community used to actually be a lot better about that. :/

What really confuses me is that besides the obvious trolls, all these secrets are part of a full human being. I've literally had people comment on my own secrets like "you're literally horrible" type stuff, and then the next secret the very same person decides I'm awesome now, without ever realizing how drastically between the two extremes they went.

I...think I pretty much agree with all of this. I saw the length and thought "Fuck, this is gonna be crazy," but actually, it's all pretty solid.

But then I was another anon who thought that lemon secret was kind of petty. So I'm inclined to agree with the OP of this secret anyway.
