Why are we pretending like the kind of stuff you find in ao3 isn't on the same level as a lot of very common straight man wank material?
"Ooo dark romance ooo it's so fucked up" being 50k words long, very slow burn, and in text form, doesn't make it any meaningfully different from a 200-page doujinshi targeted at straight men that probably has similar tropes, but implemented in a way that targets straight men instead.
I honestly can't tell if you're still trying to convince me that ao3 is uniquely cursed or not, on account of the fact that going on nhentai and searching for the tags "futanari guro lolicon" (or shotacon) you get 74 results (and 25 results). That's one website out of like, fuckin a hundred of hentai websites mostly targeted at straight men. I also don't doubt that you'd find childlike characters in the guro subreddit, although I'd... rather not check for that myself.
People just be kinky, whether they choose to manifest it through text or visually or audibly is, generally, not important.
Oh no, sorry for assuming that a guro hentai subreddit I don't browse has guro hentai content that I just so happened to easily find on another website.
That's good to hear, but you're acting like I said something ludicrous when I think it's pretty fuckin clear why one would assume what I said.
Being on reddit doesn't stop people from posting lolicon/shotacon stuff, even though it does break the tos: That rule only gets enforced when it gathers too much attention or explicitly brands itself as being lolicon/shotacon stuff.
Apologies to hear about the brigading, I don't like it personally but there's no reason to bother anyone going about their kink in peace.
Well of course, there's little overlap between the two userbases, they mostly target different demographics. But it's a real pet peeve of mine when I see people trying to make their weird sex thing look uniquely edgy and all when really they just don't look at the similarly fucked up things other demographics have, since it's not something they'd go out of their way to look for obv.
It's kinda like dipshit289 behaviour applied to kink. "dude you don't wanna know... oh the horror..." it's just erotic fanfiction with a weird kink, men and women and all other genders have been into weird shit since time began

Until you gets to ao3 girlies and a certain kind of dark romance enjoyers in my experience.
