First Amendment and all that stuff....

x-posted from my lj, but it's f-locked over there

*sigh*

here's the deal. as a rule, i don't read Wincest. i've read... three. and two of those? i skipped over the really squicky scene(s). and i don't write it, either. so what am i doing posting on this particular subject? the principal of the thing, and that people really should pay closer attention to what they read.

i'm not going to name names, anonimity is safe here. i've had (at least) two people on my flist (that i know of, anyway) get busted on, ragged on, insulted, nasty comments left in their various ljs because they wrote wincest, and it was properly tagged as such.

here's the deal. proper reading skills are required to read the phrase "Pairing: Sam/Dean"... or whatever your pairing may be. there's also the phrase "Rating: Adult." these are the kind of fics i just scroll right on by, don't stop, just keep going. that's the point of this information in the header. (i'm sure many many people skip over my "gen" or "Dean/OFC; NC-17" fics.)

i don't even read it; so why would i take the time to read through a fic, and then comment, "that's sick!" or "ewww!! they're doing what????" and while i believe there are some things that should not be written by sane, healthy adults, i'm not being forced to read it.

to quote one of my favourite sayings, "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" (Voltaire, it's in my sidebar at my lj)

your LJ counts as freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of expression, freedom of opinions, and freedom of thought. and as well it should be.

any kinds of fic is allowed to be posted here, as long as it has the proper header.

yes I used to live in a State that had an AoC of 14 for boys and 16 for girls.

In the US a State can pass a law that is more strict (or protective) than Fedral law, but not less. So a state can make a AoC of 12 but not 21, and could make a drinking age of 25 but not 18...

My state (just to put it out there) has an AoC of 16 unless your lover is more than 4 years older than you are, how's that for weird?

Interesting. Several I say on the list I have, has it the other way round!

Weird in the extreme!!!!! What about folk who happen to like older lovers? How utterly strange.

But then I do sometimes find myself thinking that laws, in all countries, make me go 'huh'?
