Don't cause wank. Don't do it. Of course you firmly believe you are right and the other person is wrong, but there is one great big thing you must remember: this is the internet. Not everyone will agree with you. Yes, sexism is bad, and it should never be ignored. Yes, this is a kink meme, and there is a strict no kink shaming policy.
Just because this is a Teen Wolf kink meme does not mean that there should be dogpiling going on, though. Leave it to the mods to deal with issues and problems.
As for the prompt in question and all replies to it: they have been screened, not deleted. We do think there was casual sexism in the prompt and that is why it is no longer visible. We do not wish for the discussion about it to continue, whether or not kink shaming did occur (and it is the mods' personal opinions that it didn't. We saw people taking exception to the implications and sexism of the prompt, not the prompt itself.)
We are trying to take all precautions to make this a fun and comfortable place, but with its very nature it cannot be a safe one. Let the mods deal with any other situations that arise, please, and thank you to those that called our attention to it so quickly.
To recap: let the mods deal with it before it dissolves into wank. This was not true wank, we realize, because we headed it off (so to speak). Don't let it get there.
