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.

+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.

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.
