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.

We know. But as said elsewhere in the thread, the trash party predates the use of the term in that way. Back when the HTP first took off, trash just meant actual garbage.

"Trash" was definitely seen as a negative back then. Does anyone else remember in the early days of HTP when there was a group of people ~~concerned for our self-esteem~~ urging us not to demean ourselves by calling our fics trash? No kids, we're not saying our work is terrible, we're acknowledging and owning the fact that we're writing about terrible things.
