Re: Fandom red flags

[(Anonymous)]

People whining about how there's too much sexual and/or dark content in any given fandom. 2022 is weird in its prude level, none of my fandoms are immune to these sniffling babies.

It's attached to the cultural moral panic surrounding sex. The more people who can freely express themselves the more pushback you will get.

Reminders of purity and a need to go back to conservatism because someone is talking about a subject that makes you (the individual who is worried about too much sex/dark content) uncomfortable.

But NGL on the other side of that it feels like a similarly shame-y game when certain groups gripe on about "too much fluff" or "too much vanilla sex".

Like, I like to write cute couples falling in love more than a fucked up couple who do risky sex for thrills. But that doesn't mean I don't enjoy both!!!

Many years ago it was a fandom thing in some circles to apologize for writing a fic with no sex in it.

Better than the current purity trend (in my biased opinion) but still annoying.

My ideal is a cute couple falling in love who do risky sex for thrills. These aren't mutually exclusive and the best is both elements together.

+1

I've seen more fics where an author will have the sexy chapters aside (or in a separate fic/warn for the sexy times in the A/N).

I think it's nice, because sometimes I just want fluff with a touch of sexy, no full on sex, but other times, I want the full on. When I do,I don't want the warnings outside the original Explicit rating on the fic -- you're breaking my immersion lol. But it's definitely a newer development.

It's worse when that stuff is part of the canon.

I find equating sexual content with "dark" content in itself to be a huge problem.

Explicit sex between consenting adult characters who are having a great time is in no way "dark" even if they're doing non-consent roleplay or other controversial kinks. Sex is normal, healthy, and fun. There is nothing inherently "dark" about PWP, smut, erotica, etc. Yes, it should be tagged and rated appropriately of course, but people who have meltdowns about catching even a glimpse of it really need to work on themselves, IMO.

NAYRT
Yes. I see people conflating the two together and it's like, not all sex is dark.

Swear to fucking God "nuance" is becoming a fucking foreign idea to people.

Re: Fandom red flags

Hold on, people are just stating that sex is the equivalent to dark content? Lmk which fandoms to avoid!

There can be both, but neither is inherently the other. People need dictionaries out here, it would seem. I'm in fandoms that have both, but it's tagged appropriately.

Right? Personally I consider a story chock full of eager romping to be fluff.

Re: Fandom red flags

That's happening?? My fandom is basically one big kinkfest.
