I agree. As much as I adhere to the "if you don't like it, go somewhere else" strategy on the internet in general, it makes me sad to see tehpr0nz singled out for exclusion in a fic challenge community. Isn't part of the fun of this fantasy doing stuff that couldn't happen in canon for whatever reason? Isn't that why so much of fanfic (at least in certain fandoms) is NC-17 in the first place? I mean, I'm often in the position of feeling a little chagrined about my fic preferences, kinky bitch that I am, but it's surprising (and feels a bit like a slap in the face) to come across an instance of just say no to graphic sex without mentioning right up front that the challenge is a gen one... Except it's by definition NOT gen, since it's based around ships. Is that why I'm so confused?!

I mean, hell, slut shaming is a big enough problem in RL, I don't want in perpetuated in happy fun fantasy land, y'know? Yes. This. Exactly.
