I'm in this fandom, and they've hurt friends of mine (who agree with their basic principles about NC-17 incest- and rape-fic being a bad thing; I don't necessarily agree because I think exploring something in fiction is very different from real life and it can be helpful for people who've even been on the bad end...etcetera, it's a complicated issue, and this kind of moralistic oversimplification helps NO ONE.) If they hadn't actually hurt real people I care about, I'd take it as the joke it should be...
..but I still have to ask HAVE YOU NO SENSE OF DECENCY, SIR? AT LONG LAST, HAVE YOU NO SENSE OF DECENCY?
Our country's history being what it is, "blacklist" is so NOT cool, [as Bart Simpson would say:] on so many levels.
