Where do you draw the line at "sympathetic portrayal"?

If I were the mod? Wherever the fuck I'd felt the line belonged to.

[(Anonymous)]

So, hot evil Hollywood Nazis only, right?

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe if you were the mod.

I hate this kind of modding. It's like the Nonconathon mods being all "we can't give a clear definition of noncon vs. dubcon, but dubcon is not allowed". It's perfectly fine to draw lines of what should and should be allowed in your exchange, but for fuck's sake, explain where they are in advance. People who can't do this, should stay away from modding.

And yet, nonconathon runs fine. And we all know the dubcon ban is to avoid the types who think fucking after a few beers counts as dubious.

[(Anonymous)]

What it is actually for and how it works are two different things.

Just skip the exchanges with rules and modding you don't like, and let the people who are fine with them participate in peace.

It's kind of hilarious that you're saying this in a thread wanking about how mods should ban Aquatics / canons with Nazis instead of skipping the exchanges that don't do it and let people who are fine with them participate in peace...

[(Anonymous)]

It was a reply to a specific comment. I suppose you missed that.

[(Anonymous)]

You're up for checking out all the canons yourself to judge and not just going off popular opinion or wikis, I'm sure. 🙄

[(Anonymous)]

Your persistent assumption that if we'd only read ALL of it (because you give this shit to people who've read a lot of it), we'd magically convert to Nazi kink, is super creepy, dude.

I'm not who you assume I am and have no interest in reading any of Desert Peach. I just see a huge issue with putting that kind of judgment on your shoulders from my own experience as a mod. Best either to ban all media featuring nazis or allow all. Or some other concrete rule. Putting your subjective opinions as the authority, especially without looking at the direct source which no one has time for, will not end well.

LOTS of eligibility modding comes down to subjective decisions. Yuletide mods decide every year that some subsets of megafandoms are distinct and others are not. Femslashex mods decide every year which characters are nonbinary enough. Mods make calls about which fics violate DNWs or are incomplete. There's no reason for "no fluffy Nazis" to be the only thing that has to be objective.

[(Anonymous)]

And people have issues with the subjective decisions all the time. No one said it was the only thing that had to be objective, but nice straw man.

[(Anonymous)]

And yet, those exchanges continue to function. Femslashex ran this year with literal male characters in the tagset, you can handle a mod banning Moe Nazis.

Yes, and when mods make subjective decisions about canons they're not familiar with, they ask exchange participants who are for help.

In this case, you'd be asking Desert Peach fans if the Nazis are too fluffy to be included.

You spending a year insisting someone has done that, when no-one has, is also pretty creepy. Why are you so obsessed with getting converted into Nazi kink?

[(Anonymous)]

...What?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I remember you.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh boy, I always love it when you get to the "you're only saying no to hide how much you want it" point of the conversation.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, this seems like a case where you need to be putting up the link, because you're only making yourself sound even more like a gross creep with zero boundaries.

[(Anonymous)]

It's impossible to link to someone claiming "if we'd only read ALL of it we'd magically convert to Nazi kink" because it never happened.

[(Anonymous)]

NA Didn't this whole thread start because of Aquatics coyly reccing DP fic and then mod calling when people exposed what they were doing, or are we on a new version of the wank already?

(Granted, since we know Aquatics is here, I'm assuming a lot of the people in this thread are them. It's exactly that sort of creepy popping up over and over again.)

[(Anonymous)]

At this point, I'm so fucking tired of the "everyone who isn't up in arms about Aquatics must be them" assumption that I'm tempted to anonfail on purpose.

[(Anonymous)]

That is exactly how this started, yes.
