...Honestly? I know you probably meant this as a devil's advocate sort of thing, but I think it kind of does. It's showing in this entire thread, people are getting SO up in arms about potentially being "kink shamed" (I can't help but feel this secret is related to the recent influx of secrets about how normalizing abusive relationships and characters isn't cool, unless OP is talking specifically about kink and did a bad job portraying that) that they double down and act like the media we consume doesn't contribute anything.

And the whole "fic is different than canon!!!" thing makes me laugh. You know the difference between a fic writer and a novelist? Getting noticed by the publishing industry. You don't get a magical moral guardian button when you become published, authors like E.L. James should show that pretty clearly.

I dunno. I think this whole subject is a gray area and people on both sides, whether trying to argue that EVERYTHING is bad and should be banned, or that EVERYTHING under the sun should be allowed to be created with impunity and free from criticism (and that's really what a lot of this is about, "you're hurting my feelings when you say that rape fics are bad because I'm sexually excited by them!", these people are JUST as bad as the "my feelings are hurt because I think rape is terrible so it should NEVER be allowed to be written about" type people).

Really, I was only half kidding, because you're right on every point. This stuff is fucking ridiculous, and I'm not going to pretend it's new, fandom has always been a natural breeding ground for extreme and uncompromising ideas and people fighting over them with hilariously inappropriate attacks on each others' character. But God, if I never again have to hear all the myriad ways someone's feelings were bruised by someone else's personal preferences simply existing somewhere, it'll be too soon.

So much this. And it goes for both sides of this argument. The pearl-clutchers and the kink-clutchers alike, they're two sides of the same hysterical coin. So yeah, I definitely agree with everything you've said.
