How is this any different than saying that the bodice ripper genre is "borderline rape apologetics"? Their kink is problematic, no kidding, but we don't go around saying that other people need to have sufficiently realistic depictions of their kinks.

People absolutely do go around saying that about other kinks, though.

If only we had a name for those people.

Margaret Atwood is an anti, folks, you heard it here first.

Did she call bodice ripper fans rape apologists?

Margaret Atwood was telling people off for having problematic kinks? I'm gonna need evidence for that.

She did kinda famously spork rape fantasies, tho. The idea that bodice rippers are completely without scrutiny, it’s just those newfangled antis that have a single critical thought about kink beyond whether it’d make baby jesus cry is... an extremely niche online fandom take.

No one says that it's an entirely new thing. Doesn't make it any better.

+1 Kinks aren't immoral but the way people talk about them isn't exempt from the same sort of criticism you'd give to people talking about any other topic, just because they're kinks. You're not that special.

Nazi kink: the foie gras of YKINMK

She isn’t great at including POC and she played that game for ages where she didn’t want to label her work as feminist but sure, use her as your bulletproof vest I suppose.

ayrt

People do, and we tell them off for it, because it's bullshit.
