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.

While I agree with the anons saying your prompt imply good guys would be turned in bad guys, I agree with you about your confusion. There's plenty of OOCness in this meme whom I'd expect did granted for the freezing or deletion of so many prompts and stories, and yet only good guys turned bad or the vice versa, bad guys turned good, get the ban instead. I think it's just this mod disliking those specifically, or just those tropes being easier to pinpoint from the bunch, conversely to the general OCCness. *shrudges*

I don't think OOC-ness is against the rules. A lot of prompts are crackfic for the purposes of humor, absurdity, or porn, so of course they are OOC. What is adamantly not allowed here is stuff that blurs lines about ethics. They don't want good characters like the Avengers being rapists, and they don't want evil characters being excused for their behavior. That's a consistently applied rule.

I know some people like Dark!Avengers and stuff, but there are other places to do it, and I kind of like the strong line that is taken here. It makes for an interesting community that is full of awful porn and awful jokes, but is also very accountable.

Whereas I fail to see their confusion, and yours, when the rules clearly state the AUs which aren't permitted on the meme (dark!Avengers being only one of several).

Any way you slice this one: OP posted a prompt for Steve and the Avengers raping Bucky; prompt broke the rules; prompt got frozen; OP is now crying about it in the chatter post (instead of acting constructively and reposting their prompt to capkink/avengerkink, where it might get filled).

OOCness, grousing about trashmod's ~ulterior motives~, or the injustice of which AUs are/aren't allowed is pretty much irrelevant when the OP's prompt didn't even mention HYDRA, or HYDRA-affiliated characters, on a HYDRA meme!
