Weird pornographic fiction online is amazing.

I mean, sure, you can find a lot of sexist, creepy, racist, ableist, etc stuff out there, but that’s true of any genre. They’re products of our culture. What I love about online porn fics is the mind boggling diversity of human desires when they’re seperated from any need for realism or consequences.

That teenager writing bad comic book porn without lube? Is exploring their sexuality without anyone looking over their shoulder for the first time and that’s awesome. That guy that writes fox porn, the musical? inspired. That housewife in her mid-40s that wrote 50 different very specific fics
about having a sexual experience with a single sentient tentacle in a
public toilet?

I love her and I hope she has an epic time by herself with her fantasies.

Like, humans have the ability to find pleasure in ANYTHING and when they
do, their impulse is often to share it, to put it online for free so maybe someone else
can find pleasure in it too. That’s so beautiful.

And community produced porn? even more amazing! That group of fandom shippers that goes deeper and deeper into a
collective head canon where everyone in their favourite show is part of
an underground watersports sex cult?

They’re experimenting in doing
collective creative work that is so rare in a capitalist society that
views art as the product of a single genius.

Fandom communities, when they function well and aren’t haunted by antis and shipping wars, lack hierarchy or profit incentive and form huge anarchistic melting
pots of collaborative creativity where everything is given and received for free.

Just wow.
