Strikethrough drama

[aine_silveria]

I've been very quiet while LJ seethes with drama about the whole Strikethrough fiasco, because I wasn't affected. While one of the communities my friend arewar maintains got caught in the backlash of what happened, nothing happened to me personally. I wasn't affected and therefore had no reason to raise my voice one way or another. I've really, truly,

People can't really help the things that turn them on or are interested

Nowhere in my post did I mention incest as a problem to me. Consentual incest, while sometimes completely disturbing, is completely different from non-consenting pedophelia and rape.

I will take this moment to admit that sometimes I wander through a rape fantasy of my own, and it amuses me and is quite hot. I also believe that I, personally, am a sick bastard for thinking it and liking it.

My real problem is that these desires exist at all in our society. It pisses me off to think that I could be a sexual deviant but for the force of my will alone. Maybe I'm taking my repressed sexual energy out on this topic, but so be it. I'm disturbed by this entire fiasco, and more by the fact people are fighting for their porn.

Though, I find honesty is often the best policy, I find that others rarely like it. I'm sorry if I've offended you tonight.

I know you didn't; I raised the subject because it is another
'fetish' that many others find disgusting or disturbing. And I
never mentioned consent as a condition for my interest.

I don't think there should be any guilt for something you enjoy
in fictional settings because, as I said, a good person can
recognize that that is the boundary within which and only in
which those pleasures may exist and be pursued. I don't believe
in an objective morality, applied to fiction or real life.

I suppose then that the objective morality would be my problem, mainly that I do have it.

Also that I have mental boundaries in place wherein I do not pass, or I am a very bad girl.
