Just got my first fic comment that... I really don't know what to do with.

I've had some interesting ones before, but this one is just ODD.


For context:
- I have just written a story about Buffy, and her internal musings on the sleep habits of each guy she's slept with.
- Said guys are entirely canonical. In that she slept with them on the show.
- The commenter in question is someone who seems to write a lot of BtVS non-con.

Their comment?

This is... well, she's not modest, that's for sure! I mean, she's got roughly five lovers- or supposedly 'husbands', since she's performed the marital act with them.
Well-written story, though.

They've also bookmarked my story, with tags of "despicable conduct" and "horrible behaviour on a young woman's part".


It's not like I've turned sweet, innocent Buffy into a puppy murderer. Her "behaviour" is canon. And this person writes NON-CON. Which is fine, don't get me wrong, but you don't get to write NON-CON and complain that MY fic is the one depicting "despicable conduct".

I kind of want to reply with "Dude... what are you ON?"

Ah. I wondered if it was him. Very unpleasant guy, essentially a Religious Reich troll. Operates under several names too, I believe. I think someone (rahirah?) posted about him a month or so back. You alerted me to him when I (briefly) put him on the Herald.

Honestly, I'd be relieved if he turned out to be "only" a troll... Some of what he's posted is just scary, but he seems to truly believe it.

On the plus side, yay (current) Buffy fandom for having so few true nutcases that they're easily identified. :)

Yes, he's in a tiny minority, but is that because the real loonies have moved on elsewhere? Our fandom is now too small for most berserkers? (Not entirely sure I'm sad about that).

He does seem to express those bonkers ideas pretty consistently, but that may be because most BtVS fans are at least socially liberal. In other contexts perhaps he's pro-gay?

No, I don't think that's very likely either.
