This is essentially at the root of it all, I think. Fuck your artistic integrity, you're hurting people. It's fucking common sense, really. You hurt someone, you stop, and you rectify the fucking problem. This whole thing is making me so angry. I can't believe that ANYBODY was told to just "get over it" when it was something that had a deep root in them, and especially not when the issue at hand here is abuse and triggering.
I did all my posting/ranting/raging about this yesterday, and sleeping on it hasn't helped. I am still infuriated that people have the capability to be such assholes.

Yes, this. I don't even get triggered by dubcon or noncon in fics, but still, I'm just at the point of shunning anyone who I know is on the anti-warnings side of this. If I thought anyone was actually making progress in convincing them why they're wrong, I might stick around and try to be part of the discussion, but at this point I think it's best for my blood pressure if I cut my losses and try to cut them out of my fannish experience as much as I can.
