Hot diggity, begging works! I mean, um, hi, thanks for visiting!
Certainly the last thing I want to do is even remotely imply that I'm discouraging discussion of problematic source material, either directly or indirectly through meta or fanworks. My concern is when someone is taking problematic source material and ignoring the parts about it that are problematic and using it in a manner that is fluffy or eroticized or whatever.

There's an example I've seen being used frequently and I kind of felt the need to say, "No, seriously, that's icky, I really wish people would stop doing that." Then I wonder if they understand why it's problematic. Then I wonder if I'm not giving them enough credit. Then I think and think and think some more until I think myself into a mental Möbius strip and I remember that cliché about the definition of insanity and figure it's time for some new input.
