19. [WARNING for rape/abuse]
http://oi48.tinypic.com/f0x7xh.jpg
[Assassin's Creed 3]

People are probably pairing him with Haytham because he's the only attractive option. The same thing happened with Supernatural. I don't know what's up with all the abuse, though.

Nah, I don't think that's true. I think there's plenty of "attractive options" to be had; Washington, Revere, Clipper, Dobby, Kanen'tó:kon, etc. However, the character he has the most chemistry with, is without a doubt (IMHO at least) Haytham.

I'm really sad I haven't been able to find any Paul Revere/Connor with gratuitous application of TO THE LEFT!

I have to raise my eyebrow at the lack of Connor/Revere fic. I mean seriously, that man could not keep his hands to himself.

I know, right?! That mission made me laugh so hard, definitely one of my favorites. If I ever manage to finish the five (yes, five -_-b) AC3 fics I currently have in progress, I'd love to write something with those two.

I...might be tempted to write this, only it would probably end up being ridiculous and badly written. SO.

[Also, probably break my brain since I'm having to write a paper over Paul Revere's ride for my prof, but you know. That would be worth it.]

I don't know - from what few optional conversations you have with Lafayette, Connor seems to respect him and get along with him really well, and Lafayette respects Connor enough to give him his entire personal guard to command.

Plus Lafayette comes with canon crossdressing.

I can empathize. :( I can barely look at any fic hubs for AC3 fanfiction because so much of it just turns my stomach. As for why Connor whump is so common, I would guess it's because he's seen as pretty naive and gets handed the short stick a lot in the game (even literally!), which is bait for that sort of thing. Add Haytham, and it's even more fucked up.

I can't ship Haytham/Connor for the same reasons but the abuse stuff is pretty much par for the course in fandom imo. That combined with Haytham/Connor is why I never really did get into the fandom; I prompted some Connor/Washington stuff at the start then when no one showed any interest I moved on to other things. *shrugs* I would've loved to read some Norris/Connor tbh. Or maybe some Connor/Ellen.

As for the Haytham/Connor, they spend more time together than most the other characters, so there's more to work with. (I'm sure some people find the taboo hot, but that goes without saying.)

Damn I would love to see Norris/Connor.

Right? They're both so damn clueless it would take forever for anything to happen. It would be glorious.

God yes plz seconding the Norris/Connor.

I was just thinking about this. I keep saying to myself, "People can write and like whatever they want, there's probably plenty of things you love that other people think is terrible and they don't come raining on your parade," but damn is it hard to find fic to read that isn't incest, that weird alpha/omega thing, Connor getting raped, or incest where Connor is an omega getting raped.

It doesn't help that Connor and Haytham have the most interesting interactions out of anybody in the game. If it weren't for the relation, I'd be happily shipping them.

Pretty sure all the characters (especially the assassins) from the previous games were treated like that, too. People like shipping attractive characters, and people get their kink on for rape and abuse. Honestly, it's pretty stupid to chalk this down to Native Americans being abused irl - stop it. It seems like, aside from that, you're upset that it's so popular. Hey, I get it sucks when you can't find fic that interests you, but why get mad that people like and respond to the usual kinks? This is not somehow unique to this game.

I guess the difference for me is that, with previous games, I could always easily find stuff that I found enjoyable. Now, when I look in these same places, it feels very different. I get people get off to different things, and I guess that's fine. Maybe the rape/no rape ratio stayed the same and there's just not that much influx of fic right now, I dunno. But it's definitely more difficult to avoid now, at least in my experience. *shrug*

I'm not trying to say Connor gets so much abuse specifically because he's NA, but I wish people would sometimes take a step back and look at this more critically, given the reality of it (which I'm not even sure many people know about in the first place).

I'm not in this fandom, but I imported porn briefly for the fandom of the original AC game and... it was mostly full of rape and abuse. Unless they were doing it to Altair and (Enzo? Ezio?) because they weren't as white as they should be, it's just fangirls and a male protagonist who gets into danger. Hell, I've seen the same for Chris, Leon, Soap MacTavish, even the Gears dudes.

Especially if they're a sneaky assassin type. I call it the "Kunoichi effect" but it sometimes applies to dudes, too: then there will be truckloads of capture/rape porn, for whatever reason.

Soap MacTavish, even the Gears dudes

Huh. Really? I didn't know there was fic at all for those games.

Of course there is.

There's more than one dude, and some people might find them attractive. That can only mean slash porn.

Yep, there's plenty of fics -- MacTavish/Ghost is pretty popular. Some really nice art to be found, as well!

Why don't you give some of your prompts a shot OP? I'm sure there are people (like myself) out there who would read them :)

Haven't played AC3 yet, no idea what the story's about, who this character is, etc. But am I the only one who can't unsee CGI!Josh Brolin?

Eh, the abuse/rape/etc in the fics probably has very little to do with anything that happens in real life so much as people getting their kink on *and* the way the relationship between Haytham and Conner was portrayed. Like other's have said, it wasn't a healthy relationship [of any type] and even if it were to take that particular turn I can't see how it would become anything that wasn't abusive [with Haytham being the abuser because well...I can't see Connor knowingly abusing someone he was with, and I *can* see Haytham taking advantage of someone - and not being shy about using abusive tactics to get his own way.]

I'm not saying I like it - that kind of thing isn't really my cup of tea and I wasn't overly fond of either character, bit I can see why it struck so many people that way.

I'm sorry you don't like how popular it is, and it really does suck that other pairings are getting ignored to that extent...but that sometimes happens in fandom for better or worse.

It irks me too. Or the fetishizing. It makes me wonder how far removed his fanbase is from reality.

Late, but honestly? That's the same treatment most of the main characters from this series get from what I've seen, so -shrugs- I doubt it's based on race as much other factors [though I'm sure it is race for a few.]
