According to JJ Abrams, it was intended that way. So kudos to both actors.

I know she's tall, but I'm still like damn she's tall.

I used to have a similar fear, but then I realized who gives a fuck. Fandom call-out culture is toxic as hell and I'm not going to let it control me like that.

I can't even enjoy them if they can be conceived as of a rapist in fandom.

1. They'd have to be on that fic as well to see that you gave it a kudos
2. Right click. "Open link in incognito window" & then click kudos if you're paranoid about it.

I mean. People don't really care what you read. It's long posts defending the actions of characters or ship manifestos that get critiqued. Or blatantly racist/sexist posts. Not someone bookmarking or even commenting on a fic. Unless you're running for president it's unlikely that you're important enough for people to dig that deep into your fanfiction reading history.

I've unfortunately have to deal with actual canon rapists being beloved by fandom, so I get you. :\

Yes. It's the production of content (fics/posts/art) that people criticize, not the consumption of it.

And when it comes to producing content of a dubious nature you kind of have to expect that someone is going to find it problematic because, well, it's problematic. No one is stopping you from writing it though. Just give the proper warnings if they exist and then either moderate comments, don't claim it, or accept that just like you have the freedom to produce content others have the freedom it respond to it.

At least that's always been my way of interacting with fandom, and I've written some problematic shit.

I mean this is the kindest way, but can we please stop having this discussion?

If people prompted kinky fics then maybe? Other pairings like Reylo and Kylux have kinky fics because that's the majority of things prompted for them (in my opinion bc Kylo is a part of them somehow, hatesex and hurt and all that).

Also, it's a personal pet-peeve, but people are not obligated to write what others want to see so if you want to see more non-fluff fics, then write one yourself and get the ball rolling (good writer or not--everyone starts somewhere, might as well be with an idea you like). Fanfic is not commercial in most cases, so it's not about appealing to some customer base. The Overwhelming response from the thread a couple of pages back was that people write because they saw an idea, liked it, and wanted to write it then share it because why not? Someone else might enjoy it, too.

I didn't like the fact that it just rolled up and shocked Finn. That was pretty sucky, BB8, you adorable little cutie.

It's impossible to dislike that droid.

Yeah same here. It's also why most of the femslash pairings with Rey leave me cold; unless it's Leia or Maz (which I can't remember ever having been prompted? Maybe I should...), she hasn't really had any interaction with other female characters that we've seen.

I bet Ted Cruz would read some fucked up fanfiction.

(Anonymous) 2016-03-29 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
1. Most of the people complaining that stormpilot is just fluff are the people who aren't shipping stormpilot and are using that as the reason why. There's a perfectly decent amount of kinky stormpilot out there.

2.Here is some femslash.
