To be fair to the slavefic people, I think they were initially defensive but wanted to know why people seemed to have an issue as much as everyone else was curious who they were.
And they have been taking all this in fairly well. Even today I saw trigger warnings added to a fill.
Yay to this meme, where what could easily be wank turns out to actually be an interesting and thought-provoking conversation where everyone understands each other better.
Three cheers for us! Rational thought and discourse win! (With added fun analogies).
So really I suspect we've all just been misunderstanding the root of the problem. I feel like the people who initially they were bristling towards have now been understood as not malicious and vice versa.
This is 100% the least wanky meme I've ever been on and I'm actually glad I said something about all of this.
Like, goddamn, meme, now I'm getting fuzzy feels from how much I appreciate this place. Pretty much every other meme (apart from the hydra trash meme) would have had so much more wank and it would have turned really personal. But now there's constructive change.
