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.

Yeah, I got really upset by all the negativity. In the couple years I've been here I'd never seen the people here being nothing but nice to each other, so I was really surprised. Specially all the hate towards newcomers. Even on anon, it takes guts to come here and ask for disturbing shit, and we already get so much hate from the rest of the fandom, so I really don't get having internal fights over things that were never a problem before.

Even if the problem was about the number of prompts, maybe have a limitation to no two non sexual prompts in a row, or separate post for non sexual kinks, or even a non Sexual Tuesday or something, because "there were too many posts" is kinda vague for newcomers?

Exactly. It's not a good idea to leave something as a gray area, then get upset when people want to do something within that gray area. If it's isn't expressly forbidden and no caveats are made clear, then people are going to prompt it, sometimes a number of people at once.

And I'm with you about all the negativity--it seemed out-of-nowhere to me too.

It's like, imagine I have a Stucky meme and I allow OT3 with Peggy as long as there's still Stucky and it's not a love triangle or something. And then some new people arrive and see it's okay to post prompts including Peggy, and they prefer the three of them together instead of just Stucky, so they post a lot of prompts, and then I shut them down because "It's too much Peggy". For me, something is either allowed or not, or allowed within certain parameters, but if the parameters are unclear misunderstandings are bound to happen.

Tbh I think the key issue here is some people who consider themselves the Kink Meme Authority made it look like a bunch of people came here asking for whiskers on kittens and summer time weddings. No. No one did that, and stop making it look like they did. People came here with legitimate gross creepy trashy content, which is fully understandable considering that such content has thrived in this meme before

That, and there were a number of legitimate points being made, but a couple of people from both sides lost their temper and said things that were totally out of line. More than once I found myself thinking "Jeez, I agree with what you're saying, or at least I see where you're coming from, but I'm hoping the mod freezes your comment because that was unnecessary".

Or we could be absolutely crazy and follow the guidelines we've been given, gasp shock what a concept

It wasn't a problem in the past because it was just a few things here and there and not a constant stream. I thought that was obvious considering how many times it's been pointed out

Re: Bring out your wank *clangs bell*

Well, apparently it wasn't obvious, not even to some long-time posters. No one was trying to repurpose the meme. That's been made clear more than once.

Yeah, but like it's been said, it gets confusing when the guidelines are not entirely clear, which obviously they are as it's been pointed out not only by newcomers. It's confusing if things are allowed but only sometimes. Except for some very off topic prompts I don't think most people were trying not to follow the guidelines, just interpreted them differently based not only on them, but on previous prompts.

AMEN. Speaking as a long time prompter/filled I was baffled to find out that while things that are objectively much worse and more disturbing than non con are not allowed. Like if this is the goriest, nastiest mcu-related meme out there (as a lot of people claim) surely it would be okay to post stuff that's even heavier than non con, provided that it fits with the HYDRA/CATWS requirement?

Re: Bring out your wank *clangs bell*

I think noncon was always essential, but not sexual noncon necessarily. Body horror, extreme psychological trauma, all of that is nonconsensual without being rape. But yeah, there have definitely been tamer fills, sexual things that say, would be just normal kink stuff and clearly off-topic if Bucky wasn't under mind-control while they were happening.

Forgot to mention torture, also. It's not just what's being done to someone, but under what circumstances.
