Not much, but marginally.

You'll be glad to know I'm not that single-minded about everything. I mean, I go back and forth on some issues.

Like...story labeling? I'm all "yes, but no, but yes" about that one.

One the one hand, I completely understand the irritation of an author who spends 30,000 words or more building up to an emotional climax in her story, even as she knows the impact has been diluted or destroyed because she was forced to add a "spoiler" label up front to keep the fragile fans from drowning in a pool of tears when they ran across an idea they didn't like.

On the other hand...I don't want to find myself reading something I don't like.

I don't like death stories and I don't want to read them. It's all very well to say it's just a story and that it won't do me any permanent damage, but this is where the good author, the one who can really write, is a liability.

I can read a dozen death stories from TypoidMary(tm) and not blink. She couldn't touch my emotions with a sledgehammer. No talent? No problem.

On the other hand, one story from WonderWriter, someone with actual talent, can fry my brain for a month. Well-written death stories are the ones I fear the most.

Rape stories? Not under any circumstances. Yes, I understand it's one of the most common sexual fantasies for both sexes, but I don't share it. To me, rape is rape and I don't want to read about it happening to characters I love. Or even characters I don't love.

And...well...I have issues around consent. (Rape labeled "non-con" as though that somehow made it not rape? Who are you pretending to fool? I mean, I've backed off from this topic in other forums because this is not the kind of topic where arguing will change anyone's mind, but that doesn't change my private beliefs.) I'm a big believer in consent. I won't read anything that includes non-consent.

The problem probably lies in the different way different people view the characters. To some, a story is a thing they put themselves into and the characters are there to react to them. So, as long as they share whatever fantasy is being presented, the story is okay. It's not only a fantasy, but they have an additional psychological distance from it because it's not actually their fantasy, so there's almost no point at which they cry enough! and bail out. (I sometimes wonder if this is why some fans seem to be able to tolerate and even enjoy astonishing amounts of pain and damage in a story? )

To others, like myself, the characters are alive within the confines of the (well-written) story. These readers don't put themselves into the story because it's already full of real people. And, while they're reading the story, they don't really want to read anything they would be uncomfortable hearing about happening to any real person.

Death and rape are probably my only two real squicks. There's other stuff I don't like (MPreg, etc.) but I can just barf and move on. Or even be amused, if a competent writer constructs a story around such a premise, but that's rare.

Fandom should label for my squicks.
