but it’s a bit like secondhand embarrassment, i imagine. it doesn’t matter if the person who pissed themselves/was left at the alter/is being laughed at by the whole world doesn’t care what is happening to them and feels no shame, *you* are embarrassed for them and cannot control that feeling.

it’s great that the canon/creator is sex-positive. doesn’t change that some people don’t want the creator-fan wall broken.

This doesn't make the "is it about creators in general, or kink specifically" question any clearer.

both.

they don’t want the creators knowing they want kinky porn. they are fine with other fans knowing. the fact that they want kinky porn is an expansion on a broader issue, as i bet a gen request isn’t something they want the creator to engage with either.

is this really so hard to grasp? lots of people wouldn’t want to be RTed by an actor they stan, but they REALLY wouldn’t like it if that tweet was one of those “i would let ben whishaw fist my whole asshole” tweets either.

¿Porque no los dos?

I both do not want creators offering or requesting their own canons in fanwork exchanges because of power imbalance/general awkward weirdness issues, and do not want to discuss my kinks with them because I find it squicky and boundary-crossing.

The authors who claim their characters are their children and fanfiction is therefore kidnapping and/or raping their children are nuts, but discussing explicit fic about a creator's own characters with them does feel a little bit like discussing a partner's kinks with their mom.

Yeah, exactly (just commented above). You put it much better than I could.
