New Rule: Non-Consensual =/= Rape
Short but sticky Inuyasha wank.

InuGrrrl writes your average, everyday, typical violent rape fic (with "i luv u"s exchanged after the fact to signal to the reader that It's All Good) and initially makes no note of this in her summary.

It's the typical kissing ass until 'distressed' points out that a disclaimer might be nice, among other things.

The fact that you don’t seem to consider what Inuyasha did here as rape is very unsettling, and as a survivor I can tell you that I was actually insulted by this fic. I myself did not become aroused during the experience of rape, but I know those who did.

Please, in the future, write about topics you have researched WELL. And again, if nothing else, please ad the N/C or rape tag to your story.


Heavy-handed, but not incorrect. That, however, inspires InuGrrrl to remove the fic from AFF (no great loss), much to the dismay of a few rabid squirrely fangirls.

I did not think of it as rape, she was fearful and excited you said it. Yes she probably was a virgin and having a very DOMINATE MAN COMING TOWARDS HER, does not make it RAPE. She begged him to continue for her release, I am sorry but myself being a rape victim, One does not beg for release. Please put your fic back up it was good. I didn't take offense to it. OH and when you are raped do you tell the other person that they love you I think not.

AFF is supposed to be a place where ALL fanfiction is accepted, and not looked down upon.

read this story before Inugrrrl took it off and distressed, you are a fucking retard to have an open mind, I mean really I can understand your accusation toward the story but still, to make a writer feel bad about a stupid mistake in your mind is just to me inhuman.

'distressed' replies again and tries to correct a few misconceptions about her review, which don't seem to stick in anyone's brain. Finally InuGrrrl reposts the story with a tl;dr comment of her own in the reviews where she whines about how she did not glorify rape, and throws this gem into her new author's notes:

I have decided to repost my story. Enough people have requested it and I think it's fair. I have also added N/C and OOC to my summary but I will NOT add rape. It wasn't a rape and I won't say it was to please others.

Because just because it's non-consensual, that doesn't make it rape! There's also a note from her beta reader about this topic, revealing that this story, which focuses on how Kagome is 'beta' to Inuyasha's 'alpha' and must be put in her place, was a gift for the beta reader.

I don't know about anyone else, but if the person I betaed for wrote a fic about raping a 'beta' as a present to me, I would run for the Internet Hills.

ETA: Looks like the author got wind of things and the story/reviews came down with it. I, being a good little veteran of FW, have saved the story, the beta's note, and the original reviews.

Also, check out the entertaining wanking going on in this very post right here!

This rant is a 2 in one post.

What part of "fan fiction" did you not understand? You're here to rip apart some girl's story, and for what? Not a damned thing.

Lemme tell you something, this girl never claimed to be a professional writer. She never begged people to read her fiction. She posted warnings for those who may not wish to read it.

But you did anyway. That's on you.

Instead of being a 3 year old and whining about it on the internet, why don't you just accept the fact that this girl wrote this as a form of expression, and entertainment. If you want to be a big hero and get mad at something in the world, why don't you try getting mad about pollution or the polar icecaps, or whatever the hell hippies like you cry about nowadays.

Quit badgering some girl and get a life.


((Second Author, start))Lucient
I'll end on this note. Alot of women who say they've been raped get believed right away, but what about men? What about a scared 12 year old boy? Yeah, I know first hand. And I can tell you, this girl's fic was written this way because Inuyasha is a DOG and a DEMON. DOGS demand an Alpha has control and DEMONS are evil creatures. She pointed out Inuyasha's goal was to make her submit, NOT to humiliate her. And anyone who's ever been laid and raped knows the difference.

This user has turned on the option that logs your IP address when posting. What are you afraid of? That someone's going to spam you for being over-analizing some girl's take on a cartoon? ::rolls eyes:: If you could write halfway decently, you may not be prompted to resort to these measures. Why don't you TELL someone when you don't like their fic, instead of being chickenshit about it. And why wouldn't you leave them messages to help them cultivate their writing? It's because you wanted to be petty and jealous. It's called ADULT fan fiction. Why don't you try being before you start reading.

So far, I have deciphered that you apparently can't write (because you're 3 years old, I assume), you don't exist when you read, and your posting this wank destroys the environment. OH! And recording IP addresses means you're scared of people.

Doesn't even have anything to do with the argument you follow it with. You fail at playing the rape card. Do not pass go. Do not collect sympathy win of argument.

And uh, maybe your "rapist" never informed you, but rape can also be about forcing someone to submit. It doesn't always have to be about humiliation. It all depends on who's doing the raping. One experience does not define all experiences.

Inuyasha is a demon? OK, so now you've basically told us "why" he raped her in the story. It doesn't stop it from being rape just because he's born "bad". Rape isn't defined by the personality of the person doing the raping, it's defined by whether or not the victim consents to it or not. Anyone who's been laid and raped knows the difference!!!

We're not a critique community. We're not here to make the author feel good. We're not even here to read her story (most of us), we're just laughing at her pretentious behavior.

No, we're here to marvel at her attitude. Dissing the story is just a side dish. No ripping apart has taken place; it's just not interesting enought to MST.

and for what?

Our own entertainment!

Not a damned thing.

Exactly!

Lemme tell you something, this girl never claimed to be a professional writer.

That's a good thing, because her skills aren't up there yet. She does have promise, if she plans to do some serious practice. But what does this have to do with flipping out at a request to put a warning on a rapefic?

She never begged people to read her fiction.

Fair 'nuff. But what does this have to do with flipping out at a request to put a warning on a rapefic?

She posted warnings for those who may not wish to read it.

...AFTER several people asked her to repeatedly. And then she whined for a while about how the act depicted in the story "wasn't rape," thereby causing all of us to boggle.

And then we split off into discussions of rape vs. N/C, the political and psychological underpinnings of rapefic, youkai culture, random icon love, and how Kagome should peg Inuyasha.

...Mmm, pegging...

--Sorry, what?

But you did anyway. That's on you.
Instead of being a 3 year old and whining about it on the internet, why don't you just accept the fact that this girl wrote this as a form of expression, and entertainment.


I do accept it. I boggle at it, I think the view of sexual politics she's revealed through it are twisted (in an expressive and entertaining way), but I do accept it.

I also accept that Kagome should peg Inuyasha. Because that's the true charm of this particular wank: the random Inuyasha squeeage. It takes the focus off your friend, I know, but wank is a many-splendored thing, and we must all do what we can to savor each splendor.

If you want to be a big hero and get mad at something in the world, why don't you try getting mad about pollution or the polar icecaps, or whatever the hell hippies like you cry about nowadays.

Hippies?

I don't mind being called a hippie, but what did I ever say to make you think I was one? It's such a random insult. "You... You... You elbow!"

Quit badgering some girl and get a life.

How were we badgering her? No one commented to her fic, emailed her, or talked with her on a forum. No one IMed her. We sat over here and chatted about rapefic in amid the squeeage. That's rather like badgering a celebrity by having a movie night about them.

I'm sorry to hear that.

But it seems that what you're saying is that because people don't believe 12-year-old boys when the boys say they were raped, authors don't have to put warnings on rapefics. These two things, they do not connect.

Making Kagome repeatedly say that she was Inuyasha's bitch wasn't an attempt to humiliate her?

And anyone who's ever been laid and raped knows the difference.

A bunch of people who have been laid and who have also been raped spoke up and said that they do know the difference, and the scene in the story was rape.

This user has turned on the option that logs your IP address when posting. What are you afraid of? That someone's going to spam you for being over-analizing some girl's take on a cartoon? ::rolls eyes::

Don't roll your eyes in here, sir. It's for your own protection. The floor's sticky and covered with--well, you don't want to know what gets stuck in the... stickiness. Let's just say that once you get done rolling your eyes around, you won't want to stick 'em back in your sockets.

This forum records anonymous IPs because it can help to fix the problems that allowing anonymous posting can cause. It's standard practice in comms that allow anonymous posting. Getting spammed by anonymice? That's NOT a problem. When FW disallowed anon posting for a while, some people objected precisely because we'd lose the entertainment value of the bouncing hordes of mice. If you check back through the archives, you'll note that the really juicy wanks, the ones that run to hundreds upon hundreds of comments, are more often than not fueled by raging anonymice.

And this wank was drying up. So here you are! Welcome! May the spooge flow freely once more!

If you could write halfway decently, you may not be prompted to resort to these measures.

You might be surprised at the number of published authors among us. We're not jealous, mouseling. We're mean. It's different.

Why don't you TELL someone when you don't like their fic, instead of being chickenshit about it.

The fic wasn't the problem. Her attitude was the problem. Otherwise, it would have been a perfectly ordinary IY rapefic, and no one here would have cared. After all, we're not a fanfic sporking community. We're an idiot-sporking community.

And why wouldn't you leave them messages to help them cultivate their writing?

First, she already got the kinds of feedback we'd have given her, and she didn't seem to enjoy it. Second, we don't tamper with the flow of idiocy; we let it roam free, with the wind in its hair and the good earth under its little clawed feet, so that it may live out its life as nature meant it to live. It's funnier that way. And third, we're not a fanfic-discussing community. We spork idiots. If they write fanfic, we might spork that as well, but that is, as I said earlier, merely a side dish.

It's because you wanted to be petty and jealous.

...Of?

It's called ADULT fan fiction. Why don't you try being before you start reading.

We tried being all adult about ourselves, but the lube got on the monitor and it was really, really hard to keep the toys aimed in the right direction while we were giggling. And then there was that unfortunate incident with the bartender who worked IN THE DARK!, and two regulars and an anonymouse got tangled up in the suspension straps and set off the fire sprinklers, and--well, it's just easier all around to lay off the XXX's when we post.

What part of "fan fiction" did you not understand? You're here to rip apart some girl's story, and for what? Not a damned thing.

You're joking right? You mean to tell me you have no clue WHY members and visitors have so many negative things to say about this story? You mean the fact that it's stated in almost every single post isn't clear enough?

Lemme tell you something, this girl never claimed to be a professional writer.

That doesn't excuse the insensitivity and irresponsibility of her actions. You don't have to be a professional to follow the rules of an archive or understand what "no" means when it comes to rape.


She never begged people to read her fiction. She posted warnings for those who may not wish to read it.

As I understand it, she didn't do this until after a rape victim stumbled across her story. a RAPE VICTIM. Doesn't that mean anything to you?

Instead of being a 3 year old and whining about it on the internet, why don't you just accept the fact that this girl wrote this as a form of expression, and entertainment.

I could crap on the ground, throw my feces against a wall and call it art. That doesn't make it true. So save the "freedom of expression" garbage for someone who's willing to buy into it.

If you want to be a big hero and get mad at something in the world, why don't you try getting mad about pollution or the polar icecaps, or whatever the hell hippies like you cry about nowadays.

I'm not a hippie, I'm a cookie monster, and believe it or not there are a lot of people in the world crying about sex-related crimes. Because rape IS a crime. You do know that, right?
+

Alot of women who say they've been raped get believed right away, but what about men? What about a scared 12 year old boy?

.....

What the FUCK does that have to do with anything? Are you saying that it's sexist to be offended by rape? Are you NUTS?!




Yeah, I know first hand.

Does this mean you yourself are a rape victim? If so, get help. Today. Now. Your views are not healthy, and if you don't get treatment now, you'll only get worse. Good luck.

And I can tell you, this girl's fic was written this way because Inuyasha is a DOG and a DEMON. DOGS demand an Alpha has control and DEMONS are evil creatures. She pointed out Inuyasha's goal was to make her submit, NOT to humiliate her.

(1) All she has to do is say "Sit, boy!" and that would be the end of his fantasy.

(2) Submitting and Humiliation are practically the same. And if he wants her to be submissive, he's going to have to break her. He can't do that without humiliating her.

I'm not going to say anything else. My head might explode. The stupidity is unbelievable.

Same applies to you, hun.

And I can tell you, this girl's fic was written this way because Inuyasha is a DOG and a DEMON.

HALF dog-demon and was never raised in a dog-demon society, and Kagome is not a part of said society. If Inuyasha ever believed in the alpha-male thing, wouldn't we have seen it by now?

DOGS demand an Alpha has control and DEMONS are evil creatures.

Inuyasha doesn't have a soul of a demon. As for dogs, they don't whip around and rape another dog to make them submit. Humans submit to authority all the time without rape.

And frankly, who's the alpha? 'SIT!' *facemush* I don't think it's Inuyasha.

Oh, I can't resist. And really, why should I? *grins*

Koi:

What part of "fan fiction" did you not understand?

Evidently the part where one of those two words means "universally beloved by all".

You're here to rip apart some girl's story, and for what? Not a damned thing.

That's certainly why I joined this community. JUST to rip apart this one girl's story. Seriously, you didn't even look at any of the other threads in this comm, did you? Or even really read this thread? This is SO not about ripping apart a story. Some people, after reading, have had the opinion that her writing isn't exactly stellar, but that's a matter of opinion. The POINT of the post is not about her writing in the least.

She posted warnings for those who may not wish to read it.

From what I understand, the actual point of this thread is the fact that she did so unwillingly, sarcastically, and with implied insults toward anyone who might feel that the warnings were warranted. Plus, she only did that AFTER someone else requested it, and she took enormous offense at the suggestion that someone else might find it objectionable.

But you did anyway. That's on you.

Hee hee, no I didn't! Nor do I have to! I'm laughing much more at you and at the author for throwing a bitch fit over something as simple as putting up a warning on a damn fanfic. Something very few other people have a problem with. The fic itself might be golden - what's it to me?

Instead of being a 3 year old and whining about it on the internet, why don't you just accept

...the fact that not everyone everywhere is going to like the fic in question, and just ignore them when they are not going out of there way to bother you? Oh, oops, that wasn't your point, was it?

Quit badgering some girl and get a life.

How is this comm - which it doesn't seem you OR she had ever heard of until someone else brought it to y'alls attention - badgering her? We stick to our circles and snicker privately. Wouldn't it only be badgering her if we went to her and said "Hey, I know you've been hearing this a whole lot lately, but you wrote a rapefic and we don't like it"?

Lucient:
She pointed out Inuyasha's goal was to make her submit, NOT to humiliate her.

Like I said, haven't read the story. I've just read a lot of excerpts from people posting here. And I don't remember hearing anywhere that the textbook definition of rape is when the attacker just wants to humiliate the victim. Actually, submission/control sounds an awful lot like a rape M.O.

What are you afraid of?

Oh, for - it's the COMMUNITY SETTING, dumbass! *cracks up* Only the mods can even see them to begin with!

If you could write halfway decently, you may not be prompted to resort to these measures.

You guys are great. First the "she never said she was a professional writer so stop saying mean things!" argument, and now the "You only say you hate this fic because YOU'RE such a bad writer!" defense. Awesome. :D

Why don't you TELL someone when you don't like their fic, instead of being chickenshit about it.

So it would be better for the people who've read her fic, and said that it was badfic, to go straight to her and say "WOW this is crappy"? If they did that you'd have a higher opinion of them? Somehow I really doubt that. *G*

Why don't you try being before you start reading.

Wow... you're right. I've been so busy mocking, I've forgotten to give myself time to just BE. ...That's deep.
