..I find fandom depressing. There are many reasons for this but chief amongst these is the attitude towards the BDSM scene and related subjects.
I swear, if I read one more comment which suggests all BDSM in fanfic is character abuse, or refers to the practice as 'deviant behaviour' or implies that any story containing BDSM, has, by definition to be badly written and wrong, I shall punch someone in the nose.
I'd rather read a bad BDSM or slave!fic over one more story containing any of the following; cute children or pets, mind numbing descriptions of food and food preparation, detailed references to what clothing style, items and labels the characters are wearing or revoltingly sentimental holiday references.
I had this discussion a few months ago with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sidhe_woman, bigtitch and jhava where it was decided that my biggest *squick* would be a story where Methos and Duncan marry, settle down and adopt a small child who can magically turn into an adorable kitten which Methos carries around in his coat pocket, in between cooking amazing meals for his beloved Dunkie-Wunkie and them both going shopping for clothes which match each others eyes. At Thanksgiving.
*shudders*
N/B If upon reading this you are offended and think I am referring to you or anything you or your bestest friend, have said/written. *YES* I wrote this with specifically you/them in mind. Next week I plan to locate where you live and then scrawl abusive graffiti on your house.

I have a RP character who's in a 24/7 bdsm relationship and I write heavy blood play with him in one moment and write about him cuddling for hours with his cute 3-legged cat in the next :D
And I swear I'm normal ;-)

..there is nothing wrong with liking what you like. Nor does it mean that all stories which have happy endings or which feature kittens or whatever are bad.
Anymore then all stories which feature BDSM are bad. I'm being extreme to make a point really. I feel obnoxious today :)
People should read what they want to read.
..even if it involves telepathic unicorns!
