Yuletide Weather Forecast:
 
Temperatures are estimated to fluctuate between active panic and total apathy into the next weekend. Main assignments will have a minimum temperature of regret and a complete climate change once editing is complete. Expect treat writing to continue at all free hours unless the dangerous front of procrastination cropping up in the Northeast successful moves into the area, effectively killing the treat storm conditions for the season.

Sure, but my point is that the only way to escape judgement is not to post anything publicly, because I guarantee you that someone out there will be judging you for the fandoms, characters, ships, kinks, and tropes you write no matter what. "Will this be something the recip enjoys or is there a chance it will upset them" is a legitimate concern. "Will a random reader judge me for it" isn't, because the answer is always "yes".

Again, I understand. I do not agree with the slippery slope of all tropes have some hater. Exchange fandom is KINKTOMATO. Things that result in mass death, especially in a modern context that impacts the community of the exchange, is going to be touchy. It’s why Falling In Love In A Concentration Camp AU is bad, generic Prison AU shipfic is fine. Noncon is fine, specific detailed and announced replication of your own rape or of a famous rape, gonna get blowback. On it goes. Generic sickfic is fine, plaguefic during the plague year, especially if they potentially or explicitly made it similar to COVID, is gonna be a roll of the dice. I get that you think it’s all fair game, but everything isn’t an issue niw and it never has been, and exchange fandom isn’t becoming sensitive or whatever. We’re a community and we have our norms. This is a situation where they may break them in a way that makes their favorite author avoid or their recip reject. If they don’t care, okay.

You seriously think that fic about a fantasy plague in a non-current canon is the same as or even moderately similar to "specific detailed and announced replication of your own rape or of a famous rape" or a Concentration Camp AU? JFC.
