Chatter post

For all your discussion needs.

Ground rules:
- Try to keep it loosely trash party related, or at least Cap fandom related.
- Disagreement is fine, nastiness is not.
- Being offended is not carte blanche for nastiness.
- Trashmeme ground rules apply. Read at your own risk, no romanticizing your noncon garbage, no wank about the moral acceptability of noncon kink.
- Body shots, sniper shots, and tetanus shots are all available at the open bar. Party like it's 2014, kids.

Popularity of an Idea =/= On Topic-ness of the Idea

(Anonymous) 2018-06-08 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Making my own post in case anyone wants to discuss with me an idea I've seen in a few of the recent wank threads.

In the interest of clarity, my sense of this meme has always been that it was a niche kink meme meant to serve primarily the interests of a few very niche fans who wanted a safe place (in the sense of a place to not be shouted down as filthy evil degenerates by most of the other people around) to primarily write and prompt stories about sexual violence, particularly very hardcore and extra filthy sexual violence. Filthy violent stories without the sexual violence element were allowed so long as they didn't overwhelm the core point of the meme.

In that sense, it doesn't make sense to argue that some of the most popular past prompts and fills have been nonsexual in nature. Just because they were popular doesn't mean they were the main point of the meme, and in fact could lead to a stronger argument for banning them. Popular ideas have a way of hijacking fandom and leaving fringe members with different interests kicking their heels feeling like they aren't really wanted.

The people who started the HTP and the person who took the time out of their life to create and moderate this group aren't, therefore, obligated to open up the niche they've built for themselves to accommodate other forms of horrific violence just because those things are popular when they do show up here. This is and always has been a place with a fairly narrow focus with zero obligation to widen it's boundaries just because a few things outside that focus also fall under the purview of too trashy for other memes. Especially when Trashmod is quite happy to make and post a list of other kinkmemes and add new memes that anyone else wants to make for their own niche interests.

This meme serves a specific purpose, and not wanting to see it dragged off course doesn't seem at all a negative thing. Creating a new meme with a broader dehumanizing violence scope seemed like a very nice solution to the recent influx of prompts derailing the central scope of this meme. Those who prefer the less sexual violence and dehumanization can head to the new meme, leaving this one a little cleaner and neater for people who prefer to read/write sexual violence in particular. Those like me who's interests fluctuate on any given day can look at either and have fewer prompts to wade through that don't fit that day's interests.

Ok I am actually pleased that we got another meme with a wider focus on top of this one, that is a good outcome as far as I am concerned, but I just wish I didn’t go check for new porn and have to scroll through yet another “I AM LEABING THIS GRONP” post.

Podficced trash

(Anonymous) 2018-06-10 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
So, I've recently gotten into podfics. An AO3 search got me a few results (including a personal favorite), but some people don't tag their trash as HTP, so do you have any recs?

Writing inspiration for gore

(Anonymous) 2018-06-12 12:20 pm (UTC)(link)
So, as a long time kink meme filler (not just HTP, other fandoms too), I think I've reached the point every writer dreads - burning out. Can't find it in myself to make what I'm writing feel exciting and new etc. And what I enjoy writing in particular is gore. Straight up nasty bloody disgusting gore.

Which brings me to the point - where do y'all go when you need a bit of inspiration to do your worst? My personal true and tried method has
been looking through crime scene photos, medical examiner reports etc. but there's always a point where you go. Right, how many cases of blunt force trauma can I look at before it gets boring?

So, if you've got any methods for keeping your kink meme trash extra juicy, please let a tired writer know.

Where to take shippy dub-con prompts?

(Anonymous) 2018-07-10 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Where would be a good place to take a trashy, shippy/romanticized dub-con prompt? I just came to double-check and yep, doesn't belong here. avengerkink and capkink are dead.

(Anonymous) 2018-08-08 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
This late in the game, I can’t be the only one: I’m curious as to whether anyone else watched the CA movies because they found so many wonderful trash fics about them, and not the other way round?

Should we keep a tally system?

(Anonymous) 2018-08-23 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Just how many times CAN we get the exact same "this is evil good guys!" Wank?
I think this makes the 5th time they've derailed in progress fills so far this year.

Shit like this is why my friend is too afraid of doing a fill because she might do it wrong and get wank on it.

please bring me up to date

is trash aftermath now against community standards? I am so confused. Also, what happened/prompted everything on pages 1-2 with the frozen comments? Have mods changed? Standards become stricter? The meme split into pieces? In tl:dr way... I've read it and still can't follow.

MCU Trash Deleted?!

(Anonymous) 2019-05-03 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Does anyone know what happened? I just started filling something in the htp thread over there and everything is gone today.

we love you, trashmod!

(Anonymous) 2019-05-04 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Please don't go anywhere, or if you must, please let us know so we can migrate our content elsewhere?

Thank you for everything you do for this community. It seems like a particularly thankless job, so I hope you know we do appreciate it.

Discord?

(Anonymous) 2019-07-16 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I have heard tell-tale signs of an HTP discord? I used to post HTP drabbles and fics but I had to leave fandom between 2016-2017 to focus on school and now I'm back but feel so disconnected! Does anyone know how to join?

Thank you so much for your help

Darth Vader trash party

(Anonymous) 2020-02-12 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
So, in honor of the most famous fictional brainwashed amputee, sorry Bucky, how about Lord Vader getting some lovin', some gore, some whatever as long as that scarred piece of delicious Sith barbecue gets trash party typical treatment, preferably with the Skywalker twins

idk if it's allowed but i'd like to find some trashy friends here

(Anonymous) 2020-09-27 09:49 am (UTC)(link)
what the fuck am i: i study in college(oof), i have minor attention issues, i'm short-sighted. drawing is my hobby, however, my art skills are wee.
i like: to watch (old) movies(ah, the pre-code era) and to spam with screenshots, to look at occasional pictures of men in uniform(hello s.t.r.i.k.e and mgsv) and femme fatales, Frank Grillo(he's both haha), accidental historical and folklore shit(check out the twa corbies poem, it's neat), to spam with excerpts from the books i read, angels, gayshit, industrial, drawing drawing drawing.
what the fuck i'm looking for: just a bro to share movie shots, sketches, fanfics, sad bucky trash, whatnot. it doesn't have to be some kind of deep conversations, i just want to be sincere. jesus, why is this post so long. gunnskara#5590 just say hi

Trash discord

(Anonymous) 2020-10-08 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Is the trash discord still around? All the links I've found are dead. Any other chat would be great if anyone else is still interested in the meme

(Anonymous) 2024-03-28 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
No idea if anyone is still checking this old thread but as we're very quickly coming up to the ten year anniversary of HTP, I've suggested a few themes to talk/post about in celebration of the HTP community: https://tenyearsoftrash.tumblr.com/post/746238397890379776/ten-years-of-trash-a-celebration
