@olo That’s fair. I’m just not crazy about the notion that any body of people has anything “coming to them”… it’s a slippery slope.
except for Nazis… Nazis have it coming to them.
-
@sumguy13 It’s a slippery slope for sure, but I think we should definitely separate “character intent” from “author intent” from “actual-person-behind-pseudonym intent”. Sometimes it can be difficult to do.
The GTS community definitely still has a lot of baggage to unpack wrt their internalized misandry, though.

@kisupure those are also valid points and good food for thought.

@sumguy13 At the risk of sounding patronizing, I don’t think Aborigen was speaking out of conviction, but rather his personal aesthetic. Both his male and female characters display a full range of moral worthiness, and none of them are exempt from narrative judgment upon their actions. He was just expressing some understandable hesitation about writing a story intended for sexual gratification of the reader that features distress being visited upon a female character.
Nazis do have it coming to them, but that is a straightforward judgment upon the (well-understood) consequences of Nazis’ statements and actions. In fact, the uncomplicated nature of punishing Nazis makes it less interesting for me to incorporate into a new story. I’d rather write about more intimate transgressions.

A entire separate forum could be devoted to this and similar inquiries, if the willingness and industry existed to sustain them.
For one thing, I don’t think everyone comes to size fantasy by the same path, so how many “misandrist” sentiments are actually compensations for or deflections from other pathologies is anybody’s guess, let alone those engaged in long-game gaslighting.

@olo I did not read their comment the way you did. Seems you know this author or are more familiar with their work so I am willing to concede your take on it.
and as far as the patronizing goes, no harm no foul.
-
@sumguy13 It’s alright. If I was being patronizing, it was toward Aborigen, who can speak for himself.

@olo nibbles on some peanuts as the colossal men debate

@Olo I thought this author only wrote GTS/SM, I didn’t know they made some Sw. But then again, I haven’t been into GTS/SM in a very long time so I don’t often visit their website.
Just chillin down here.
Also I only feel comfortable with being tiny.

@TakoAlice8 @Aborigen would be the first to admit that SW is not really in his wheelhouse, but he’s a confident writer and does his research before exploring new territory. It’s good to occasionally challenge oneself with a different perspective.
