From now on I'm going to use 'Disregard that, I cook socks' whenever I say something stupid.

Also in this post: The Last Remnant spoilers, fangirling and my thoughts on ships. Interesting stuff, I'm sure.

Regarding that fanficrants link: they’ve managed to nail one of those things that makes me want to throttle people. I recall that there was some furore quite a while ago about warnings challenging a writer’s ‘integrity’ or some such to the point where the argument was being made that nobody should have to warn for things because it would spoil the plot which is sheer hubris in my opinion. Certain things ought to be warned for no matter how desensitised the author may or may not be or how flippantly they may regard the material and rape is one of them, and arguing that it’s a kink so it’s not necessary to warn for it is completely disingenuous. The benchmark of BDSM is safe, sane & consensual regardless of the fantasy that people then create together and it’s an insult to try to equate that with genuine non-consensual acts or argue that because somebody has consented then you have the right to force your kink on everybody else around. It’s this kind of bullshit logic propagated by people with no real understand of BDSM that makes it look like

Although I don't necessarily share IA's opinions about bondage, I do agree about rape.

I'll just leave it at that, to prevent this post from turning into a 50-page essay.

At Jorine, yeah, I think I've heard most of that fangirl squeeing ;)

Hope to see you monday, don't feel like typing a lot right now, sorry :) *hug*

Apparently there really are too many people who have trouble with the concept of 'consensual sex'. I ran into a fic like that some time ago, where the viewpoint character A was constantly going 'no, no I don't want this' while B completely ignored that. And the writer saw absolutely no problem with it and didn't even bring it up afterwards, because since A enjoyed in the end and was in love with B (regardless of the fact that A had stated several times, to B's face, that he wasn't planning on doing anything about it) it obviously was okay that B went along with ravishing A while A was protesting.

But then that seems to be some sort of 'logical' conclusion of that much-held belief that if you come, then it obviously wasn't rape. Even if you say no.
