I write a lot of fiction with very dubious consent issues. I write a lot in the ABO trope. And I am getting really, really sick of people who don't read the tags and then feel entitled to write attacking comments.

I just got this beauty.


now, I am generally pretty laid back at responding to this sort of stuff. But honestly? I am getting really, really sick of it. This is the reply I am working on:

Yep, I am totally using a lot of the misogynistic tropes in this story. It is one of the things I like in the abo verse.

You don't like the story, and that is fine. You obviously have a lot of issues with the content. That, I think is more unreasonable. You chose to read it, when I tagged in, what I believe, is an appropriate manner. To cut directly from above:

omega verse consent issues
dub con
previous non con
shaming due to status
Public Sex
Spanking
Domestic Discipline
Collars
leashing
consensual power exchange within an lack of consent environment
Marking
Kneeling
omega/sub dynamics
corner time
lack of autonomy
Crying Dean
Discipline
Light Dom/sub

And the statement at the end " I really, really hope that this story is just your kink fantasies, and you don’t actually believe women should be treated this way in real life" is just plain rude. I don't believe that women should be treated like that. But all women are entitled to their fantasies - whether they are socially acceptable or not. And I am writing fiction about relationships between fictional characters who live in an even more fictionalised world. As far as I am aware, vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural creatures don't exist in this world, and in writing about them I don't wish that they did exist.

There is pretty much nothing in this story that has anything to do with reality... That's the awesome thing about fantasy.

So I am sorry you read a story that you didn't like, and can only recommend that you carefully read the tags in the future.

Is it too bitchy? Am I being unreasonable?

I am just getting so fucking sick of people not reading tags and attacking me for things they don't like in a story. If I have an issue with a theme? I click the back button, even if it wasn't really tagged for. Grrrrr. People can be so annoying.

No, it's more than fucking reasonable. That person is just one more asshole who can't understand that just because you write about a kink doesn't mean you'd indulge it in real life. And your notes and tags more than show what the story is going to be like...it was their fault for reading it. Don't worry about it, hon, your story is damn popular, that negative comment is like a drop in the ocean of all the positive comments. *Hugs*

<3 I find it amazing how many people seem unable to distinguish between real life and fantasy.

most people have been pretty nice, but then most people read the freaking tags! I had the exact same issue with the last story, except there were stacks more people up in arms. I have just reached my limit, y'know?

thank you <3<3

Don't let them get to you, hon, they're self righteous idiots. Honestly, they shouldn't even be in the kink section since they hardly ever approve of any of the kinks...I never quite understand why they try to read kink stories... Just remember all the people who do like and appreciate your stories; as you say, the assholes are few and far between. :-)
