Re: 165
Then again, I haven't even seen the OP respond to any of this, which is starting to almost make me think they're a troll just trying to stir shit up, which sorta worked. And yeah, I don't think anyone looks at, like, a Nazi from a movie and goes "mmmm Nazi-ism, sexy" or anything, but it doesn't help that in quite a few cases the actors chosen to play evil characters really are hot. It's like the swarm of people who post "I'D SERIOUSLY HIT THE JOKER" using a Dark Knight picture; a good chunk of the time, I'd feel safe in responding with "no, you'd hit Heath Ledger," because... yeah. There's a difference there. People seem to have a hard time drawing that line, though, which is scary.
And I dunno, I can agree that some people are going to think badly of you no matter WHAT you like. Like... I don't know, just choosing an example from the fandom in your icon, I've seen people call Axel/Roxas shippers sick and disgusting because omg they love pedophilia, guys! And I know this sort of thing is way more serious than that, but when it comes down to fiction and aesthetics, it really isn't any more harmful and doesn't say anything more about the person who likes that particular thing than any other shallow fandom like.
As for the last, I 'unno, I guess I have to say... there is nothing aethetically pleasing about burn victims. Though some people do find guro oddly aesthetically pleasing -- not one of them, but I don't really raise an eyebrow at it since it's not like they like real people being harmed. In this case, it strikes me more as -- I don't know, knowing someone who's a burn victim, but still being able to look at a fire in a fireplace or a candle or something and think that it's incredibly pretty. No problems if you can't at that point, but it's just your own reaction to what happened that makes you unable to appreciate it, not the inherent attractiveness of fire itself.
GOD I TALK TOO MUCH.
Re: 165
I guess the thing is that when people fetishize a specific character, at least it's quite visible what it is they're fetishizing. They're not taking a movement and drooling over it, you know? But you're right, people don't seem to be able to draw the line.
Lately though I feel very often that "but it's my kink" is the fandom get-out-of-jail-free card. NOTHING is wrong u guys, it's just my kink! Snuff-pedophilia-incest porn is fine because it's just a kink.... yet then you look at all the recent Hetalia wank. I just don't know anymore. Is depravity allowed only to a certain level? I guess that's better than nothing.
The difference in analogies would be that fire didn't attack that burn victim out of a grudge, fire is neutral. But the Nazis did it completely on purpose, and had one of the most twisted ideologies possible. I'm sorry that my coherence isn't the greatest, I haven't slept too much these past few nights. I can accept that people fetishize Nazis (I have to, since they do), but that doesn't mean I don't wish they would just stop.
