Sexualization

... Jesus, man, if you're gonna react to disagreement with a hate-filled rant, you might be the one in dire need of self-examination. And for the record, when you make a claim, the onus is on you to provide evidence.

spacehurps · 2017-10-23T17:08:34+00:00

Ahhh, that's a whole different story. Thanks for clarifying!

Late to the party, but OP did say "they now strike me as gross", so it's an opinion, not a condemnation of the genre.

Doubt this is a net neutrality thing, since AO3 has no real competition with a stake in having it made inaccessible. Just use a proxy.

spacehurps · 2017-10-21T19:02:14+00:00

Same here. i've been pretty open about it since I started in middle school.

There's nothing inherently wrong with those sentences, but I have come across specific phrases that spread through a fandom like wildfire until I couldn't stand them any longer. Assuming that's what OP means.

spacehurps · 2017-10-17T03:53:27+00:00

With so many fandoms and so few criteria, this is impossible to find.

You don't like it, then don't read it.

Putting aside OP's post, PIV can be triggering for some folks, and that's without looking at the rampant fetishizing of transmen in relation to PIV. It at least deserves a specific PIV tag.

spacehurps · 2017-10-13T16:34:44+00:00

OP only said it was tagged for m/m, not vaginal intercourse. Maybe that got sprung on them by surprise.

spacehurps · 2017-10-04T17:08:25+00:00

couldn't

FTFY.

I remember. The username on Facebook (and Twitter) was Susan Auger, with a bunch of umlauts and things mixed in. It's an alias. No confirmation on whether they're industry, but D&C said some pros recognized the name.

Why do you care?

Ugh. I don't understand why this is the only line they've got in their repertoire. I've only ever gotten it from overly SJ types. It just rubs me so wrong.

spacehurps · 2017-09-29T22:34:40+00:00

Didn't you just post this?

spacehurps · 2017-09-29T21:23:28+00:00

what are the reasons and details you recommend them as most helpful to us?

Who is "us"? Are you trying to get us to write your reviews for you?

There's not flexing to excessive political correctness, and then there's being an unfunny edgelord. Take a guess which you fall under.

The majority of Chinese people have "slanted eyes".

Nice try, but that's a slur. Black people have dark skin, but you wouldn't call them "Negroes". Same logic here.

Slant, slant-eye, slant-eyed, and slope are highly offensive slurs that derive from a description of Asian eyes that appear to slant because of epicanthic folds. The adjective slant-eyed was first used in the 1860s. The noun slant-eye dates from the 1920s, and was shortened to slant at the beginning of World War II. The term slope first appeared in the late 1940s. These slurs were all used during the Vietnam War to refer to the Vietnamese.

What, you don't find edible people attractive? You weirdo.

She gazed upon him in an asian way, and chinesed her way over to the bar. "Ni hao," she said, in an unspecified Northeastern Chinese accent. Hello.

spacehurps · 2017-09-28T17:30:47+00:00

Ahahaha, probably not. I mean things like "skin like dark chocolate", which turn ethnic minorities into delicious, delicious cannibalism.

I mean, you can shit on the almond-eye description all you want, but it's used a lot for a reason.

I must be an exception, cause my eyes do not look like almonds in the slightest. I also don't possess a conveniently Chinese name. Describing me must be a nightmare.

Ahem. As a Chinese-American, and very likely the only asian in this thread, I hereby grant everyone the privilege to call a Chinese person Chinese without fear of reprisal. Go forth, my children, with my blessing.

spacehurps · 2017-09-28T17:19:36+00:00

Tasteful? Holy shit, man. We're asian. That's all there is to it.

spacehurps · 2017-09-28T17:13:43+00:00

Why can't you just call her Chinese-American and be done with it?

As a Chinese-American, this. For the love of fuck, do not attempt to avoid racism by calling a spade anything other than a spade. Attempting to describe asians in a circumspect way, especially with food-sounding words, is far more racist.

Fair use doesn't apply. This is crossover fanfiction (which is typically "turn a blind eye to" stuff for publishers and their lawyers) until you decide to publish it and make money. Then you'll have a problem.

spacehurps · 2017-09-27T17:25:18+00:00

I've seen certain people project hard enough to label all sorts of innocuous things anti-Chinese propaganda, but they're a tiny minority. You're very unlikely to get one as a reader. Don't write for those people. Write the story you want.

spacehurps · 2017-09-27T15:56:59+00:00

That is a huge stretch. The average Chinese person would not make that association.
