meta link: to those on sf-drama regarding rapefic by anonymous

to those on sf-drama regarding rapefic by anonymous, posted on fail_fandonanon. Today is suspend your dislike of anonymeme day, if the excuse is needed. Anonymeme etiquette requires posting anon; today's the first time I thought it was worth not ever being able to say again I didn't participate in anonymeme, because that deserved a response.

Context, especially the superthreads on pages two and three. The post spanned most of Wednesday and some of early Thursday so at this point it is pretty much dead

Warning: This content is triggery for survivors of sexual assault. It is not safe. If you need more specific warnings as to make an informed judgment, please leave a comment.

So this is surprisingly early in the day that I wish it were already over. It may be a record.

ETA: I have no idea how I forgot this. Wank Report's report; the OP of the SFD post comments.

Thank you for linking this

That made me feel a little ill (your warnings were more than sufficient, I just tend to read it anyway), mostly because I am a survivor who also reads/writes rape fic. I think a lot of the anon's comments about how people saying that rape fic is wrong and harmful and won't somebody think about people who are actually raped is often painful for survivors who write/read rape fic (whether for coping and healing, or just because they want to read it, or for whatever reasons), because it makes it into something we "shouldn't" do. Just like the whole survivors shouldn't wear revealing clothes or go out walking alone, or whatever else it is that we're not supposed to do (and yes, I've had people tell me both of those things).

Thank you anon for coming out and saying what a lot of people are probably feeling (myself included).

The painful part is that the people that should have to say shit anon should be the people in that post spouting off pop psychology bullshit that is mostly their own internalized issues combined with wanting to be cool. Instead, the victims have to be anon and I have to say, being able to speak about this under anon takes a ridiculous amount of courage.

Just like the whole survivors shouldn't wear revealing clothes or go out walking alone, or whatever else it is that we're not supposed to do (and yes, I've had people tell me both of those things).

I don't think sorry even starts to cover the range of fail associated with that. Holy fucking shit. How do people who think like this have enough verbal skills after the obvious lobotomy to put that sentence together? Christ.

I'm sorry and also, fuck them.
