Talk:Rapefic
Gen fans tended to argue that if the male character being raped was straight, that the story was gen. (i.e., if the BSOs in the story aren't together, and don't get together during the story, the story is gen.) I thought this was the other way around. I thought that it was labeled slash, not gen, so as a slash reader, I'd end up reading stories where the guys didn't get together and only the 'hurt' part of the story contained two men. But I can't remember any specifics right now, so I could be wrong. --rache 19:47, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- I think there were gen and slash fans on both sides of that debate -- might just be better to say "some fans" in both cases. But it's possible I'm misremembering, and that it did break down along genre preference lines.--Penknife 19:50, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- Good thought. I went ahead and did that. --rache 20:03, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Rapefic, dubcon, noncon
There's a discussion about how to merge the information these pages on the dw comm (You don't need a dw journal to comment). The proposal is to have a fourth page with most of the information from all three pages, while they become brief glossary terms. --MegR 19:37, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
rename? and also TV Tropes. and also...
First, a question: Should this be renamed to Rape in Fanworks or perhaps Consent Issues in Fanworks? Rapefic could be a redirect with a glossary cat added or a short glossary entry with wikilinks.
Second, I dimly recall that two years ago we discussed how to organize "consent issues in fanworks" type pages. But as far as I can see, nothing came of it.
Third, TV Tropes recently deleted and then reinstated all their rape trope pages. The Rape Tropes index page as of July 2011. Geek Feminism wiki started reposting the trope pages. Because of the differences in our CC license, it's not clear that we can do as Geek Feminism did but we can certainly provide links, select quotes, list what TV Tropes had, and build on our own documentation of rape in fanworks, not to mention how fans respond to rape in canon, which I don't think we have a page for.--æþel 23:59, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
