I hate seeing guilt and pity prompts on kink memes and fandom in general. "My dog died. Could you write me some smut?" "I'm feeling sick. It would make me feel better if you'd write me this." It also pisses me off how many fall for it.

[(Anonymous)]

Shit is everywhere. Why the fuck do we need to know your fucking life story or opinion. Pisses me off, no I don't care if your dog died or if you just got laid off work you dumb cunts.

[(Anonymous)]

These sort of prompts get filled more than just regular prompts. The same with Brithday prompts and other excuses.

[(Anonymous)]

man, you were an asshole. I kind of hope your friends stopped talking to you after you did that (or that you eventually apologized profusely), though I'm glad you've gotten over that kind of behavior

I agree that I hate those kinds of prompts though. No one gives a shit if you have insomnia and want someone to write you a fic where a character also has it because it will make you feel so much better. No one cares if you have a cold and you just need a fic where a character is sick and gets cuddles and soup from another character. I see these prompts all the time on the Sherlock and Young Avenger Kink memes and they always make me roll my eyes. Especially when the prompt is preceded by like a whole paragraph of a whiny story. At least take that shit to the discussion post

All these bitter anons make me think it's just one person.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah well at least it sounds like you've learned. There's a lot of grade A Assholes who haven't, and just as many gullible people who are willing to allow themselves to be guilted.

People wouldn't do it if others didn't continually fall for it.

[hiyami.livejournal.com]

And that's why you should always be a dick about fandom dramas and assume that, unless you personally know the person enough to know that whatever dramatic thing s/he's going through is real, not care too much about it.

In a fandom I'm in, it's 3 times in a row (nearly one each day) that we get news that one of the fans died. Each time, the thread becomes clogged with heartfelt sympathies.
The first one mentioned resulted in one of the band members issueing a message of sympathy as well.

Sure, the intention behind those who express is probably nice, but after many years in fandom, and 3 in a row? I call bullshit, or at least the ones spreading the news are just trying to get a reaction from a band.

I think I've filled one guilt prompt before (well, sort of, it was the prompter's birthday). I filled it not because it was their birthday or whatever but because what they wanted was somewhat specific and something I wanted to try out. It would have been better if they'd left off the birthday thing in their prompt imo, but I can't police what people are going to do.

[(Anonymous)]

lol I remmeber doing the exact same thing saying something like my cat died and got like 3 fills

PROFIT!!

[cleverthylacine]

This is why a lot of people in fandom get immune to guilt-tripping.

[fudgebloods-rep.livejournal.com]

And why some people in fandom stop guilt-tripping if they used to in the past.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I hate that..

[(Anonymous)]

Jumping up and down to call me "self-hating" just because my fics weren't womanly enough for you would neither make me leave fandom nor do nice things for you. It would just make think you were a bitch-ass moron. So, glad you're over that.

[mutantjules.livejournal.com]

that ain't cool, bruv

[greeneyed.livejournal.com]

Er, the secret and the comments are disconnected, or is it only me? I've never guilt tripped anyone into writing any characters, however I justified my mildier kinks with: "feeling bad, happy stuffz needed".

[poisontea.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was puzzled about this too. There's a huge difference between calling your friends sexist because they aren't writing the pairings you like and guilting them into writing what YOU want lest they feel like horrible people and saying "hey, it's my birthday/I'm feeling down/I'm sick, will anyone write me something with my OTP please?" That's super mild and I can't imagine getting upset about seeing a prompt like that, whereas the former is being a huge manipulative dickwad. :|a

[greeneyed.livejournal.com]

I guess OP is going by their own measure. I understand the sentiment, seen the sexism argument done multiply times. I wonder how severe it has to be for someone to leave the fandom...

(Random note: How are you in my mind!? After reading the secrets I started watching the show in your icon :P)
