Yes, the fact aquatics makes sure everyone is constantly aware of her and her canon is a big part of the problem. How are people supposed to know they’d also hate a completely different canon they’ve never heard of? What kind of gotcha do you think that is?

DC

That and I'm at least provisionally prepared to believe that Charité at War actually is a nuanced look at the lives of ordinary Germans under Nazism, instead of whatever fetishy borderline apologetics shit is going on with Desert Peach. It may be less intrinsically hate-worthy.

I don't know; I haven't seen it. But it seems unlikely to me that German prestige television would produce something that dodgy on this topic.

If someone likes it for the “wrong” reasons doesn’t that pretty much negate whatever the canon is trying to do? We aren’t making spec scripts for future episodes or what have you, we’re writing fanfiction.

I guess its a YMMV thing but I believe that messy fandoms can have nuanced requests and people fan make the most messy requests of nuanced fandoms. Just because the source is morally good doesn’t mean you can’t request ‘A/B save Rohm’s life at the hospital and they run off to live together as an OT3’.

Yeah, that's all true... and every year Coal devotes some time to side-eyeing messy requests in fandoms that have no Nazis at all. I'm sure if there were obviously Nazi-fetishy c@w requests we'd be wanking about those too.

But when someone is busily pimping a canon it obviously matters whether the canon itself is dodgy, and if their pimping behavior involves the sort of sketchy bait-and-switch tactics Aquatics likes to use, that's going to reinforce people's doubts about the canon because look at the creepy fans it apparently attracts.

the gotcha is that this and similar fandoms have been recced a lot too and your eyes seem to have glazed over them. clearly you are capable of doing it for dp too. the issue is that they end up on the ph lists a lot which you apparently stalk? that is the only difference between her dp pimping and c@w/similar’s pimping which bothers you not at all.

Why do you keep digging yourself into this hole?

That is... what pinch hitters do. It’s how pinch hits get picked up.

Anyway, it’s clearly not similar pimping since I’m one of those ~stalkers and have never heard of it before you pulled this bit of whataboutism. Dememe pulls up one result, which admittedly mentions another rec. If you’re talking about YT pimping, fine, but those posts are not even the start of people’s issues.
