Huh.
I don't usually talk about fandom controversies (I hate calling them wank when it's an actual debate and not shit-stirring), but re: arsenicjade's Cello Sonata No. 1 in B Minor "Naissance de Libertè" -
I try to warn for things in my recs as much as I can, vaguely, but with the promise to elaborate if someone sees something they really wish to avoid. But I would not have warned for this story at all. Not because I wanted to surprise somebody, because that's not cool - there are two stories I refuse to warn for, but I say that - but because I didn't even notice the issue. I've seen that scene too many times to think it's unusual. Not in fanfiction, but in mainstream media. I'll warn for it now, with this story, but similar stories? I'm worried that they're just going to blend into the landscape like this one would have.
