Given it has a warning in the title, end it there. No oppression, no warning, no anything. The poster in question is a decent contributor who wanted to make a fanfic that is shocking. Gee, whiz...he's getting more notice then 99% of the fanfics of better quality because people are being overreactive fuckwits.

This is as pointless as trying to ban DEATH over his bit of his hypothetical scenario. Let it go, and get on with whatever you were doing. At this rate some idiot will want to string up Darth Fanboy and Shep over their fic.

To clarify: If something like this comes up, I have no problem if somebody puts it in mothballs. I generally do not go to the fanfic forum, so in that regard it's one big 'meh', nor do I need to read threads I have no interest in, so I would hardly be in the position to apply any oppression. As far as I'm concerned, this matter is closed and it is nowhere near my territory anyway. If it were, I would not take unilateral action anyway.

Why is it so goddamned hard to get little assholes like you to admit it when you fuck up? Is it pride? What gives you the right to have any pride?

mind you there are some personal limits I place on myself.

I do however continue to plot out and write some pretty gritty stuff.

and would like to know what is the limit in this board....

A lot of it is intent to me. If a Congolese militia in your fic just took over a town, exceptionally brutal torture and rape would be suitable to depict in a manner intended to drive home the horror of what was happening.

Shep and Fanboy's "Unnamed Porno Fanfic" is intended to be entirely humorous, and is clearly written that way, and in fact contains comparatively little actual sex, instead focusing mainly on perverse jokes.

The fiction in question seemed like a representation of someone's personal fantasy, which was what attracted my negative attention to it.
