Jul. 20th, 2014 02:44 amI 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.
