confession. for the first time...

[timepiececlock]

I broke the unspoken codes of fanfic readerwriter solidarity.

1) I used ff.net report abuse feature to report a fic that was rated R that arguably should have been rated higher. (I know this is what the feature exists for, but in the spirit of a smutfic reader who goes against The Man, I feel I have crossed the wicked picket line and me being a Damn The Man liberal tree hugger poli sci major, crossing a picket line is unthinkable under normal circumstances)

2) I didn't do it because the rating bothered me (though I do think you could say it exceeded its rating without perjuring yourself), but because the presentation of the subject matter pissed me off. In other words, I just didn't like it.

You all can flog me now.

One might also say that you're not really going against "the man", since ffn with its embracing of borderline illegality could be considered against "the man" itself.

Ah, how true!

But then, one might also say that ff.net represents an even worse evil: a group that goes against "the man" but has nevertheless become tarnished by "the man" 's ways, changing itself with prudish rules to make itself less offensive to "the man", thus BETRAYING THE VERY NATURE OF THE BATTLE AGAINST THE MAN ITSELF! TURNING ITS BACK ON ITS ROOTS AND BEING ABSORBED INTO THE MAD CONFORMITY OF THAT WHICH WE CALL POLITICAL CORRECTNESS! AAAARRRHGGGG!

::cough:: Well, one could go one about it all night, when one thinks about it.
