I mean, what would make an author *want* to write a WWII romance between a Nazi and a Jew?
@StevenBrust @jimchines yes. romance is also driven in general by love-overcoming-obstacles tropes. more transgressive => more real.

@chaosprime@jimchines Exactly right. Also, ewwwwww. (Not sure how much of my reaction is because I'm Jewish; I'd like to think not much.) -
@StevenBrust@chaosprime Among other things, it feels dismissive of everything Jews went through in WWII, and the ongoing aftermath. -
@jimchines@chaosprime Yeah. I'm torn between gut reaction and believing people have the right to enjoy whatever kink they want. I dunno. -
@StevenBrust@jimchines@chaosprime Perhaps the rule to follow there is “don’t involve outsiders in your scene”, aka private circulation? -
@evilrooster@jimchines@chaosprime Same with, for example age play. It squicks me, but does that make it wrong for some1 else to write? -
@StevenBrust@jimchines@chaosprime l honestly don't know where the lines are. But it seems like one usable approach. -
@evilrooster@stevenbrust@jimchines@chaosprime Not sure how well it works with publishing, which doesn't tag & needs to market for sales. -
@fadeaccompli@StevenBrust@jimchines@chaosprime Maybe it's simply not appropriate enough for public view to be sold? - 3 more replies
