I'm a big fan of h/c, and it makes me really angry when h/c as a whole is characterized as healing-sock. Most h/c is GEN. Also, most h/c doesn't involve disabilities, physical or mental. Yes, there's some crappy fic out there where a serious illness or injury is somehow healed by a good fuck, but they're so rare, at least in any fandom I've ever been in. Maybe in anime fandoms or something, since they seem to be full of bad fic. Most h/c is about relatively minor and temporary issues, and most h/c about disabilities/chronic illnesses isn't about healing them. Plenty of people who have disabilities or chronic illnesses read and write h/c because it allows them to process things through fiction or for wish-fulfillment fantasies.

The main thing is that it's NOT ALL ABOUT SEX. I find it offensive that gen fic, which I really do believe is the majority of h/c, is completely ignored by people who have too much fun being offended by their vision of h/c as healing cock. Also, fuck you very much for the kink shaming.

lolwut. how could anything in that comment be construed as kink shaming.

goddamn SJWs.

Lolwut? I thought the "SJWs" were supposed to be the people going "stop having fun porn guys, your fic is problematic". Standing up for kinksters has never been something I've ever seen social justice folks go to bat for.

The term really IS losing all meaning around here.

I'm this anon: http://fandomsecrets.dreamwidth.org/641003.html?thread=562762475#cmt562762475 - the one who hates coddling.

In all of my comments I was talking about the GEN fic I've read... and they often aren't about disabilities either. It's the coddling that makes me want to throw up.

I don't know. Any time I've ever seen a "h/c bingo" community I've been hard-pressed to find a card that doesn't have stuff like "blindness" right next to stuff like "alien virus."

Which I think is weird and maybe a little problematic. But unlike some, I don't think "problematic" = "don't write it." I think it means, hey fandom, can we have a conversation? Which we're having in this thread, so I'm good. No need to change what you like.

I know you weren't speaking to me, but personally? I'm not trying to speak for all people with disabilities. Just myself. And I do know that some pwd like h/c as wish fulfillment. And that's OK too. I just, as I said, wish that there were more varied representations. Surely that's no sin, and doesn't involve telling you what to write or read?

I just find most of what I've seen upsetting and even mildly triggering, so I don't like it. Which is why I said "yes" to a secret saying, um, "I don't like this."
