My favorite is one of the people harassing you writes dark ptn fic but they're very adamant that they won't write noncon so its okay. They're not like those proshipppers! I think it's so funny that they can write other forms of abuse and power imbalances but think they have a moral superiority stance because they're not writing noncon.

i see it SOOOOOO often... and it's ok to have lines!! like i said in another answer, i don't vibe with a lot of "dead dove" fandom (tho i do have oomfs who consider themselves that) because i don't like stuff that's like... dark or meant to make you feel bad, most of the time. i want my age gap incest to be HAPPY AND SWEET, ok? but i don't think that makes me more moral than people who go the other direction with it.

also not to get on a tangent, but it's kind of worrisome when people do this in a way. i don't know what the person you saw writes specifically, but for example, if someone writes lord/servant type fiction, that is essentially dubcon! that is a problematic power dynamic! like you say. boss/employee creates a dynamic where you can't guarantee consent either, and is a common trope even among anti types. so if you DON'T recognize that and think it's perfectly equal and healthy... that's concerning to me
