Chatter post

[trashmod]

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.

Oh, wow, is that really a thing? I mean, I admit that I identify with Bucky more than is probably strictly healthy, but...really?

Yeah, I've seen a few of them now. Anti-HTP posts was how I learned about the whole fictionkin movement thing basically. I really don't want to hurt them with my writing but it's kind of a difficult worldview to navigate around I guess? I mean, I identify with Bucky a lot in that we're similar in a lot of ways and it's part of why I write him, but I... don't think I've BEEN him in a past life or anything so I find it hard to understand and accommodate those that do.

..."fictionkin"?

Fictionkin.

FICTIONKIN

Jesus fucking blue-balled Christ on a goddamn steam-powered pogo stick, do we in fandom not have enough people making fun of us? In the immortal words of one of my favorite fics, Criss de calice de tabarnak d'osti de sacrament!

I think you're being very kind. I myself do not give a single minuscule rat's testicle whether my writing is hurting someone because they believe they used to be Bucky Barnes in a former life, for the love of everything holy. (And I say this as someone who believes in reincarnation, but Jesus Christ.) There is a point at which it becomes a self-inflicted wound.

Massive TMI about me: I think it's less about kindness and more about my personal issues with the whole "people who have been abused are more likely to go on and become abusers themselves" thing. I'm terrified about becoming an abuser so having fanfic basically talked about as a form of abuse freaks me out a lot.

Oh sweetie, at that point you're pretty much dealing with the kind of person who'd sue you because they stubbed their toe on your sidewalk. You're not abusing anyone.
