Hmm. I have ships I like, but I never really thought about them in terms of sexual orientation. E.g. I was a fan of Tracer and Winston’s romantic possibilities, but I didn’t think of that as Tracer being attracted to gorillas.

I mean Winston is a male gorilla which is a different interpretation of Tracer's lesbian sexuality than canon, so it kinda still counts?

FWIW, she wasn’t canonically a lesbian yet when I shipped it.

I get it, I don't necessarily go looking specifically for the porn, but I do like to go poke around some fandoms I'm not into just to see what the ships/popular character distribution is like. I just get curious.

(Anonymous) 2024-03-15 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I can totally understand that! I go looking for the porn for the more traditional reasons but if an author’s take on the characters or ship is wildly different from my own, I usually DNF. If their takes are the exact same as mine, it’s pretty much an instant favorite.

First off, I love the picture choice for this secret :D. Kitty!

Second, yeah, I totally get this, both with porny fic and non-porny fic. It is very interesting sometimes to see how varied people's interpretations of a character or a ship can be. And it makes it that much more fun when you do find an author/authors that you can vibe with because they see the characters/pairings the same way you do :D.

(And even when I do disagree with someone's interpretation of a character or ship, it's still interesting to see how they came to those conclusions, and a good opportunity to try and see them through a different lens.)

I do that too tbh (◕_◕) Mostly because I rarely get aroused by anything and its honestly interesting to see what kinks gets generated by fandom popularity, or when fandom is determined to create porn and how they imagine it (the latter being in reference to the Undertale fandom for finding a way to make skeletons have sex - mostly with gelatinous magic glowy goo).

A question

(Anonymous) 2024-03-15 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
By "porn" do you mean fic or fanart or like actual porn videos? I just assumed you mean, you know, porn porn like on porntube or whatever but the comments here make me think you might mean fic and artwork? And now I'm thinking about the word porn way too much.

Re: A question

(Anonymous) 2024-03-16 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
I assume fanwork porn, just 'cause I don't think they make actual porn videos of most random media. Only the really famous ones get parodies

Re: A question

(Anonymous) 2024-03-16 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, makes sense. I was thinking, there are a lot easier/faster ways to find others interpretations than to hunt down the odd porn parody or rule34 vid.

Re: A question

(Anonymous) 2024-03-16 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
Is it not common in your fandoms to use "porn" in reference to nsfw fanworks generally? I've heard it pretty often to mean just sexual content, not necessarily or even typically a video.

Re: A question

(Anonymous) 2024-03-16 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
No! Which is why it threw me. Clearly I need to get out more.

Re: A question

(Anonymous) 2024-03-16 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
fwiw i've mostly seen fic referred to as smut, not porn.

Re: A question

(Anonymous) 2024-03-16 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
But what about pwp...???

(Anonymous) 2024-03-16 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
I get it. I always go to AO3 and look at the top ships for a piece of media so I can judge the fandom's taste, even when I have no interest in reading any fic for it.

(Anonymous) 2024-03-16 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
All I know is a number of fandom agrees with me on certain characters really delivering on the big dick energy (but actually).

(Anonymous) 2024-03-16 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
I get you, I tend to keep my getting-off-to-it porn and my nsfw fanwork consumption pretty separate. Partly because I came up through a tradition of WTF Mate! fanworks where technically it is nsfw but with kinks that nobody including the writer subscribed to, just to see if we could do it. Like shipping a character with actual bees, or that one where Sherlock fists a giant spider in Middle-Earth. So outside of a few ships I barely get a twitch in the naughty bits even when reading some pretty intense stuff.

A bit off topic but...
I use porn for more than just fap material. It's especially encouraging in this day and age when porn studios are creating ongoing series with their porn videos. <3 However, I do often think "I hope X character stops fucking her therapist, stepbrother and stepdad and finds a happy ending with her lesbian best friend ToT" while watching and fapping to the sex scenes XD

In terms of fanfics or fanart, I love seeing how others interpret certain characters and ships. I'm not too bothered if someone's interpretations aren't aligned with mine unless I feel they are trying to canonize their preferences.
