(Anonymous) 2025-06-15 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)Things you don't like and/or aren't comfortable reading =/= toxic.
Things that aren't completely pure and lacking in conflict =/= toxic.
Things that are messy and complicated and uncomfortable =/= toxic.

(Anonymous) 2025-06-15 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)2. I feel you. There was one fandom I was in that I really loved the main pairing but when I went to look for fic it was all 'enemies to lovers' or weird toxic dark fic. It was baffling as it was frustrating.

(Anonymous) 2025-06-16 08:23 am (UTC)(link)Vanilla from my understanding means that the sexual encounters will be gentle and more in line with "normal" sex.
Often it means less talking, traditional top/bottom positions, and not a lot of position or scene changing.
You can have a toxic relationship in which the sex is vanilla.
Also, I think some fandomers need to learn to discern the differences in general relationship dynamics/terms in fanfics vs BDSM terms.
BDSM terms can often have more than one distinct action/purpose.
Like, not all subs are into shame kinks. Just because you see someone coined as a sub doesn't mean all you'll get is a sub crying and moaning at degradation.
I don't know what Secret OP's preferences/expectations are for vanilla sex, but I would hope they don't use "vanilla" as an umbrella term for "fluff fics".
Because again, you can have vanilla sex and still be in a toxic relationship.

(Anonymous) 2025-06-16 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)And not only can a vanilla relationship be super toxic, a kinky relationship can be super sweet and fluffy! If OP is some kind of puriteen who thinks spanking or handcuffs are 'toxic' even in a story centered around trust, caring, and pleasure, just because it's not 'vanilla', then yeah I just bet they're having a hard time.
