svgurlDay 13: Squicks - What are some things that squick you in fandom - not necessarily "icky", though it can be. From anything involving blood, to bad grammar.
There are a few things that squick me out. The main one is probably graphic descriptions of bodily functions (like people constantly vomiting- I will scroll right past it, if I really like the fic). I can't deal with a/b/o as a trope, and anything with too much graphic violence/torture is not for me either. Same with rape/sexual assault.
On a less serious note, I don't like to read fics set in a first person POV. I see it and I click the back button pretty quickly. Same with fics that have huge chunks of text with minimal paragraphs. As far as the grammar goes, I don't mind a few mistakes here and there, because I know I make them, especially now that I am self editing without a beta, but if it is just too much, yeah, it does get distracting for me.
And I've lost interest in reading fics where there is open character/ship bashing, even if I don't like the other ship/characters. I get second hand embarrassment way too easily so I know I've written it in the past, but I can't read it anymore, when it's just the main love interest just "showing up" their rival.

Even in the ABC interviews they did in the early years, when put next to Rosenbaum briefly (I loved those interviews), you can see him being much more subdued. The majority of the SV RPF shipping had to do with Welling/Rosenbaum, something I never got into even when I used to read Clex fics. And I've read RPF- had brief phases with Pine/Quinto and McAvoy/Fassbender. I think there was some stuff with Welling/Kreuk and some Chlarkers definitely wrote TW/AM. I feel like Clois shippers were the only one who stayed away from that.
The KSITE guy seems like kind of an entitled ass so I don't feel sympathy for him at all. I couldn't go on there for ages, because of the Lois bashing.
