Frankenstein's Meme - Day 8
Jul. 25th, 2022 10:16 am8. Squicks - What are some things that squick you in fandom - not necessarily "icky", though it can be. From anything involving blood, to bad grammar.
People calling squicks triggers... no ma'am, they ain't the same thing.
I once upon a time had no squicks, but things change over time and I do have some.
My squicks:
Alpha/Beta/Omega or Omegaverse makes bile rise in my throat. I have tried to read it but I cannot. I see no point in it. I don't like the dystopian dynamic and I don't like the fact that men in that verse have usurped women. I also don't care for the D/s element inherent in it. My main fandom and the place I hang out is obsessed with this crap, sadly.
Bondage squicks me - both IRL and fictionally. (That one might actually bleed over into trigger areas, to be honest.)
I don't care for mpreg unless it's done in a humorous crackfic sort of way.
Parent/child incest (not talking about kid stuff but any stuff). The brother thing depends on the brothers. The Winchesters? NOOOO Elrond's sons? Yes.
BDSM and/or D/s. Just no. Though I have read some that I could stomach, I do not seek it our to read.
Fiction that has no paragraph breaks and is posted single space - it's too hard for my old eyes to read.
No punctuation. I beta-ed for someone once who used no commas at all because she said she was a professional writer and she didn't like them. I wouldn't pay her to write anything for me. It was a mess.
( All the questions )
