As a slavefic fan, this kind of put things into a good perspective for me.
I wonder if the above comment's phrasing is very different and that's why it's coming off better--I mean, 'only a few people writing' vs 'only a few people enjoying' is a totally different sentiment. Only a few people writing (because hey, there aren't quite that many different slave AUs) is facts.
I guess the way I get the resentful atmosphere is that some other posts have implied that it's not just a few people writing slavefic, that it's just a few people enjoying slavefic. Like, the latter seems to have this connotation to me of 'it's just those couple of people, the rest of us have more normal tastes', when really, there's more than just three people who like the slavefics.
And there's also probably a ton of overlap between people who are glorying in the slavefic and people who are loving all the gen and the pokemon AUs and the Fratt and so on. (I know I love all sorts!)
I dunno, I just feel like maybe some people who are really really squicked out by slavefic could take a good step back and just..not let their feelings about the AU come out as 'please stop writing' tones.
Because to me, stuff like 'I can't believe the meme is just slavefic right now' is both understandable in a way (I'd be annoyed if there was *solely* a/b/o) but also comes off as 'stop having fun/stop writing', which kind of goes against the spirit of a kink meme and the way that the rest of the Daredevil kink meme in general is all about lots of comments and lots of prompts and lots of fills and just general *fun*.
(That, and the 'overexaggeration' anon below, don't post again like that, yeah? Posts like that don't help.)
