And I thought I'd seen pretty much everything...
There are days I really regret not working harder to become God-Queen of the Universe.
I think after a long time spent in fandom, any fandom, you become desensitized to a lot of....questionable things. You almost have to, since searching for fic is pretty much reaching into a mixed bag of nuts, and you never know whether you'll come out with a cashew or what may be a dead roach. So you kind of develop an iron stomach and a teflon shield to get through the bad to the good. After all, you can't really control what's posted, what other people write, so might as well shrug it off and muscle through.
But sometimes you see something so repugnant and disgusting that it festers, and you can't just shrug it off. And that's quite a feat to accomplish through just a summary.
I wish, as a comm moderator, that I had the power to just flat-out banish something, but I don't, and I know that, and I know why I don't, so I of course won't. But I will say that I'm ashamed to see something like it on a comm I run and love, and it really sickens and offends me, both in principle, and personally, as someone very close to me is in a position to make that seem all the more atrocious.
We all have, of course, the freedom to write whatever we want, and I myself have written non-con previously, and probably will incorporate it in fic again. But I feel like there is, or I thought there was, a line. A line between portraying it, but as the act of evil it is, and relishing it to the degree that it's practically snuff porn. It's part of the reason I have such an issue with 'kink-meme's' in the first place.
If this seems like an attempt to 'call someone out' or trash them behind their back, it's probably because it's both. But while I can't do anything about the fic itself, I can do something about my opinion about it, and so I am.
