I tend to agree with you - though I'd argue that the events need to be treated respectfully [or, as you put it, "not to add feels"] in their writing.

[(Anonymous)]

The existence of the film Pearl Harbor pretty much proves that you're correct on that one.

[(Anonymous)]

I came here to say exactly this.

[elephantinegrace]

I don't think the amount of time it's been since a certain thing has happened is as important as whether or not the subject is treated delicately. One nuanced, sensitively-handled story about 9/11 actually moved me to tears, whereas some WW2 fics have left me cringing and hitting the back button two paragraphs in.

[(Anonymous)]

Yep. They should have respect for what happened rather than just putting it in for "feels."

[diet_poison]

I disagree. I mean I agree about yeah it needs to be treated very carefully but I think the amount of time does make a big difference. (Of course if you're a dick about a tragic event then it doesn't matter how long ago it was; you shouldn't write about it)

I once stumbled across a Backstreet Boys or N-Sync self-insert fic where the Mary Sue character gets involved with one of the band members, then dies in 9/11. This was maybe in early 2002. I was too busy finding it pathetically hilarious to consider whether it was in good taste.

[(Anonymous)]

I think it depends on a lot of things. Obviously, the length of time definitely has something to do with it (compare writing about something awful that happened a few months or just a couple years ago to something that happened ten, twenty, more years ago, I think at least a decent amount of time should be allowed to go by first. Of course, I'm the type of person that's deeply disturbed when presenters on TV are talking about ancient floods and stuff -say, as far back as 1400 or something- that killed thousands of people gleefully. It's not the same as talking happilly and excitedly about, say, the Holocaust, but it still disturbs me because it's a real event where many people died. No matter how long ago, I don't think that's something to be happy about.)

I've always tried to resist fic set during RL tragedies. I recently read a fic that was largely set in a concentration camp in WWII. I was reluctant at first, but it wound up being as respectful as possible and moving me to tears.
