    The fic in question being the sort I had complained about in the vent thread earlier. There's just something uncomfortable, as a woman suffering with trauma, to see rape revenge fic that's just written with such antipathy and malice towards the victim.

    I'm also just kind of irritated that I feel like...uncomfortable with it at all. I'm a very you do you sort of gal. This is a standard I wish to hold by always and I won't like be like 'don't write this shit,' to people because that just isn't what kind of person we are. But I do feel bad about not being comfortable with shit.

    But I really do think that some people need to step back and think a bit about how much they hate this character and the ways in which they express that hatred.

    But I feel like a prude.

    Tfw there aren’t many stories in a tag, and a solid two pages of the listings are nothing but works by one single author who has completely incompatible taste to yours. On one hand, sadness. It looked like there was so much more variety of content to peruse than there actually was.

    But otoh, daaaamn, you go author! No one could deny that you’re making a meaningful contribution to a tag that sorely needs it. I applaud you! You’re making it hapen!

    So pretty much tfw you don’t want to read any of the stories but you do kinda want to throw a ticker tape parade in honor of the most prolific author of stories you don’t wanna read. I’m disgruntled but I think you’re coooooooool!

    "X and Y find themselves staying in a room that has only one bed, what will they do?": You get three guesses and the first two don't count.

    Playing Jenga on a bed seems like it’d really add to the challenge of the game...

    They actually changed how they handle the pairing tags to make them worse. Used to be, Wrightworth displayed as "Mitsurugi Reiji/Naruhodou Ryuuichi | Miles Edgeworth/Phoenix Wright," so you could just. Look at one end and see the pairing. But apparently someone thought this was totally unacceptable, so now you have to parse the entire nightmare of a tag to figure out who's smooching who.

    (Like, I'm not even looking for Ace Attorney shipfic, but every time some of it comes up in one of my "let's look through a weird freeform tag for kicks" sessions, I feel a deep wave of pity for anyone who is.)

    I'm still waiting on someone in FE fandom to do what needs to be done and make Leo | Leon/Leon | Leo a canonical tag. It's what this abomination of a tagging system deserves.

    Context: FE14 has a character named Leon in Japanese, who is for ??? reasons renamed Leo in English. Then FE15 turned out to be a remake of a previously unlocalized game that already had a Leo, and things got awkward.
