Also, what kind of asshole yells at you for something you actually DID warn for. I mean really.

That's been happening for a long-ass time, actually. I once got a long private message about how much of an insensitive asshole I was for my fic with non-con and torture in it even though they were clearly in the warnings. Even better was getting yelled for the homophobia in a fic that not only had the homophobia labelled but whose entire plot revolved around my main characters combating homophobia. -_-

Yeah, that's what baffles me. I write a fair share of non-con and violent stuff too, and I warn for it, and I never had this problem. Why would you (general you) willingly read something that YOU KNOW will bother you, only to complain to the writer afterwards? It makes no sense.

Yelled at for warning about and depicting homophobia as bad?

As a homo I'm just here going ...fuck off.

This problem goes both ways

[nyxelestia]

On one hand, I have had someone get mad at me for using homophobic slurs (they didn't seem all that concerned about the homophobia in general, just the slurs) in a short, somewhat fluffy* fic whose entire point is the teenage gay couple coming out together and needing to fight off some homophobic bullies as a result. *eyeroll*

On the flip side, I've had someone remark that my child abuse tag was excessive on a fic in which the main characters, who are 12-13, are kidnapped, drugged, held captive and occasionally beaten or have their life-force drained out of them. WTF.

And these were both years ago. The Warnings politics has grown WAY out of control since then...



* = teenage espionage fandom, so the implications that one of the characters has to stop himself from actually killing anyone counted as fluffy in the context of the fandom

I think part of is some people only want to read fic about the world as they think it should be rather then it actually is...
