I really wish people would stop using "darkfic" as a synonym for "non-con" because I don't like non-con and I love dark stories--stories of Creeping Horror, stories of fascism, stories of what happens when the bad guys win...and I'm sorry, there ought to be more interesting stories about what happens if the DE's win that are about something more than "Gryffindor X is forced to be Slytherin X's sex slave." That's a kink, and kinks are OK, but darkness doesn't have to be sexual in nature.

Now I do love dub-con, or what I call "fantasy rape"--the kind where the victim sekritly wants it and the aggressor is someone they want. I know how you feel about the character-bashing. I've had someone tell me that people like me were responsible for the fact that some men think women want to be raped. And I like chan, and incest, and I've been called a paedophile, and people have asked me in public forums if my father raped me, which is behind the loathing that I have for a lot of the canonwhores who think they own fandom, because while I'm well aware MS SCRIBE goaded me and Arabella into that fight for her own amusement the people who commented from the Quill still said what they said and until they apologise I'm not going to be huggy with 'em.

I agree with you, being dismissed as a person because of what you like is hurtful. But it's a characteristic of HP fandom, or didn't you know that all Slytherin lovers secretly are racists and hate the poor? I'm sorry, there's a reason I left the fandom. It's the meanest fandom I've ever been in, and I'm 42 and have been in fandom one way or another since I was 13.
