why does it take DYING for you people to admit attraction?

I mean, you're not wrong! But also...because A is seventeen and B is forty-one? Because A is wildly repressed and B believes A is asexual and is trying really, really hard to be respectful of that? Because it's incest? Because they're supposed to hate each other but there's this attraction they can't shake? Because internalized and/or period-typical homophobia? Because they're married to other people?

I am not at all trying to be, you know, quarrelsome. Trope preferences vary. I just feel like there are actually a lot of fairly solid reasons for two characters to feel like they simply cannot admit to or act on their attraction. I got particularly into Fuck Or Die after getting into a huge age-gap ship with a character who is barely legal, because it lets you get right to the spicy stuff without making the older character seem like a sleaze. Your honor, they didn't take advantage; they were forced to fuck that teenager.

I mean in the general sense of 'fuck or die' not in this specific case as I have zero idea what fandom you're talking about.

To me, it's fiction, so I don't need really reality-grounded, legally-defensible reasons for two characters to fuck like bunnies.

Ah. I definitely need context and characterization with my smut. It's vital to my enjoyment.

I mean in the general sense of 'fuck or die' not in this specific case as I have zero idea what fandom you're talking about.

I meant in the general sense, too. There are a lot of fandoms encompassed by the possibilities I listed in my previous comment. Every Enemies To Loves ship for one. Every incest ship for another. Most extreme age-gap ships for a third. That was really my point. There are some ships where maybe they don't have any solid reasons to not admit their feelings, but there are just as many ships that DO have solid reasons to not admit their feelings. So "argh why don't they just talk about their feelings like adults?! Why do they have to be forced into it?!" is an argument I agree with for some pairings, but not for others. Sometimes it really is The Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name.
