To put all of those fics into a category of "evil bad stuff I don't read cause who wants to get off on that" seems strange to me
Yes. Let's face it, assuming most of the readers of this are female, something like 25% of us have had firsthand experience with "non-con." And no, they're not all violent scenarios in dark alleys with knives. I'd probably give more props to a story about drinking to the point of passing out, or being slipped a mickey, for realism.
Who the hell am I to tell someone they can't work through their baggage using fanfiction? Even if they're in the other 75%, I'm not anyone to tell people they can't have whatever fantasies they can have, either.
I'm not sure what point I have. Oh wait, I remember. I prefer to work from a standpoint of "no sacred cows," always. The only thing left is taste. I like bad taste, but I hate really really horrible really bad taste. I think any subject is fair game always, but you can't do it in a way that you know will piss most people off. If you piss off 5% of people, 30% like it and the rest hate it, you are in good shape.
