Sometimes I think I'm missing something by ruthlessly pruning the wanky. And then -- oh, fandom.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I wish it would not send fandom into a raging wankstorm to request that people not quote or post explicit incest outside of a cut-tag.
Oh, dear. I thought it was accepted netiquette to place ALL explicit sex under cut-tags, incest or not. But then, I'm like the biggest prude ever. I also frown on naked ass/pubes shots on LJ icons because OMG, some of us read LJ at work, people!
The other day, a otherwise perfectly pleasant person on my Flist was going on about how Peter and Susan and Prince Caspian from the new Narnia movie are Totally Doing It Three-Way, which... *facepalm*

Vonnie, I am totally down with keeping anything explicit behind a cut-tag!
And I wouldn't care if people used explicit icons if I could just adblock them at work, but I am stuck with an old version of IE thanks to Corporate.

Could you send the offender a gentle email reminder of "Ack! [Person who may or may not be the sweetheart of the old school I'm thinking of] I love you, but I'm reading at work, and MY EYES, MY EYES!"?

I would, Plei, but more than one person is doing it, and eventually I'd feel awkward carpet-bombing fandom with Miss Manners memos.

Maybe we could get Jilli to do it...

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I still remember being snottily shouted down for daring to say that the things people were taking as glaring signs of incestuous Twu Wuv on a certain show struck me as perfectly normal expressions of comfort with boundaries and affection that you can see between siblings who've been raised together all the time. How dare I rub the existence of platonic family relationships in people's faces!

I can name two shows off the top of my head where I'm in complete agreement with you, Matt.
ETA: Four. Five, if we're counting classic shows.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm sad that cut-tagging incest isn't considered to be a reasonable request.

I went back on your Flist because I was morbidly curious (also trying hard not to work) and I see Consuela already politely asked her to place it under a cut-tag. But yeah, if it's not just one person, then it gets more difficult.
On a happier note, can I mention how psyched I am that Iron Man movieverse is taking off as a fandom, fic-wise? I fear I'm sadly getting obsessed. And there will be no new canon for years! Waahhh.
