Question Title

* 2. Last month there was a very unclear preference for what kind of community event you would like to see. In fact, it was pretty much a 3 way tie between a caption contest, a photo hunt, and "something else". But no one actually gave a suggestion for what the something else would be.

So I'm really hoping that this time you guys will give me some ideas. Please submit any ideas you have for a community event here.

Question Title

* 3. Today I learned some very upsetting things about the new Harry Potter game. I won't detail them here, but suffice to say it's bad enough that I'm considering changing my policy on content referencing Harry Potter canon.

For a number of years my personal policy has been not to spend any money on things related to it. But I was fine referencing it like any other fandom, people seem to enjoy porn of the things they like, and since I don't spend money on it, and no money makes it way back to the authors pockets, I figure it's fine. In fact it might even be damaging to the IP for me to produce free porn about it, so it's all good.

It's come to my attention that things appear to have gotten much worse, so now I'm asking. Should I stop referencing it? (not that I do it a lot, but I drop many occasional references to all sorts of IP when I'm writing)

Has it gotten to the point where it just feels hateful to those it's targeting? Or, do you enjoy seeing it subverted for porn purposes that the author clearly wouldn't support? Is it offensive and hurtful? Or Cathartic? I'd like to know what you think. Sorry for the unhappy, probably uncomfortable question when you just come here for the tits and jokes, but it sort of hit me hard reading it today and I want to know how you feel about it.

(Also side note for those who are new and might get the wrong impression. While I may fantasize about certain non consensual situations, and a lot of misogyny slips in, it's just that. Fantasy. I am not a misogynist, I just have a weirdly wired brain where I find it hot in some situations. And yes, that extends to all Women, not just the Cis ones. So if you have a problem with that, you can take your money and fuck off.)

I'd rather not see it or think about it. Please refrain from referencing it in any content.

It's not really welcome, but I guess it's tolerable.

I don't care either way (About harry potter references, this is not indicative of my feelings on human rights)

I think it's fine as long as your work is anti bigotry.

It's totally hot subverting hateful shit like that. Make more Harry Potter porn! With lots of LGBT people and enslaving bigot wizards!
