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.

As someone who has written a fill of Bucky eating his own arm (and is therefore probably de-anoning myself to anyone who's read it), I got the sense with the latest slew of prompts that the issue wasn't just the lack of noncon, but the sheer volume of prompts with no to barely incidental noncon coupled with a few prompts explicitly requesting no sexual element, if I remember right. It's always been my impression that the meme caters heavily towards the sexualized noncon non-optional demographic, with occasional pure torture porn and recovery focused prompts allowed so long as they didn't overwhelm the sexualized rape fic. It may still be harder to find a meme for general hardcore whump, and there are certainly people who get up in arms even about nonsexualized torture of their favorite characters, but it's silly to deny that sex-free whump as a genre is much more readily accepted by your average person than sexual violence, especially sexual violence written specifically to be sexy, especially sexual violence against men written to be sexy to women.

I think it depends on the sex-free whump in question. Your cannon-typical violence/brainwashing + h/c? Very readily accepted elsewhere, I think. Canniblalism, medical torture, extreme mind-fuckery? Less so.
