merryghoulGetting back to this Fannish Fifty project and I found a way to talk about something while not breaking a community's TOS. (Although I think just talking about it while having a link wouldn't break the TOS.)
A friend sent me this quote tweet to a screenshot of tweets in regards to someone feeling like they haven't consented to consuming fiction with sex scenes. And I have to agree with the quote tweet (tl;dr: tweet says over the past 20 years the writer feels like people take fictional characters way too seriously). It really does feel like people are identifying way too much to fictional characters. It made me think of someone who was concerned about me "hurting" Rose Tyler years ago in a series of fics I wrote for Kink Bingo. (I took the works off the site because I felt my works I made for the community at the time weren't representative of the kinks I was writing about and because I had issues with the community and how it was run.) This person and I went back and forth on AO3 about the content of the fic (and may have employed a sock account to further attack me) to the point where, despite me changing the content notes of the fic to "choose not to warn," the person tried getting the Rose Tyler fic taken down off AO3. I was way more angry about the incident at the time but these days I'm so baffled someone would get so mad about a fic they could've closed the browser on or backbuttoned to read something else.
