Fanficrants Wanks On About Shota
Ah, good ol' FanficRants. The rants are often good fun in and of themselves, and even when they aren't, there's usually good wank to be gotten out of it.
For example, here's a rant about shotakon and how liking it means you're a 'peadophile.' Or maybe it doesn't -- maybe you can like shota but not be a pedophile, but still, shota should be "labeled as what it is" so you feel suitable shame about reading it. Or whatever.
The resulting commentary wank delves into a great many issues -- the credibility of statistics quoted on talk shows, how precisely you have to 'like' shota fics to be a pedophile, what the smutfic you enjoy says about you (or, "if you get turned on by femslash and you're a girl, are you a lesbian?"), physical and mental "childhood" in shota, and whether everyone really wants to do what they fantasize about. Sadly, in all these weighty issues, the correct spelling of "pedophilia" is never discussed.
Caveat wanker: this is, for the most part, reasonably well-contained, and actual snarking at each other happens rarely. Still, this is fairly impressive and intricate wankery.
