Trolls aside, I am glad you take your work so seriously even if you have the understanding that it is basically just porn material for people. Though I suppose it is a little saddening that TF in general relies on stereotypes to exist as it does in any format.

As I said, I’m perfectly willing to consider the fact that the stuff that I write is inherently problematic in a variety of ways–in all honesty, that’s pretty much what I believe. That said, (a) I don’t think the harm caused by these stories is particularly sizable in scope or damage, and (b) sex itself is pretty problematic in any number of ways, so I’m not entirely sure what a just sexual politics would look like (what I can say, is that it wouldn’t look like the stories I write.)

I just try to be up front about it. These are horror stories, at heart–that’s where I draw most of my inspiration. Most of these stories involve stereotypes, but that’s not even the worst aspect of what I write here. Most of these stories involve mental snuff–that is, the mental life of a character dies in pretty much every single one of these stories. Most of these stories are rape stories–that is, the plot revolves around various forms of non-consensual sex. But they’re also fantasy, and I’m pretty sure everyone who reads them (alright, let’s say 99%, because I get some crazy messages on occasion) knows that they aren’t real, and further, aren’t at all meant to reflect reality, either ideally or practically. 

So that’s the somewhat comfortable ethical ground I’ve staked out around this issue. It isn’t perfect, but I can bite the bullet.
