Sometimes, I want to go up to those people that argue that authors should be able to say "I don't want people to make incest/underage/kinky/any porn of my characters" and ask them if they think that authors should be allowed to say "no gay porn".
I don't have any preference either way, I just think it'd be interesting.

Date: 2022-04-25 03:53 pm (UTC)if your friend is upset about incest it'd be rude of you to say "look, i made incest porn of your thing". if your friend is upset about gay stuff... well, that's pretty suspicious. are they homophobic? should you still be friends with them?
we don't see ourselves as owing any of those considerations to a faceless entity, tho. incest porn of a popular tv show isn't something you do *at* the writers, it's a thing you do. if you think incest porn is ok ever, you probably think it's ok even about things whose authors don't like it, for the same reason most people would not consider "don't write trans HP fics out of deference to JK rowling" a social norm they'd obey.
