With all due respect, even if this doesn't stifle your creativity, it seems fairly obvious by the number of stories with this code that it stifles the creativity of others, or at least hampers it. I also quoted you because I disagree with that statement. Let's try some other combinations with it.Any story that uses a teen girl is just as well off if that girl is at least 18 years of age or older.
"Any story that uses two women is just as well off using a man and a woman, because homosexuality is wrong."
"Any story that involves anal sex would be just as stimulating using regular vaginal sex, as anal sex is illegal."
"Any story involving rape is just as well off using a bit of rough sex, because rape shouldn't be eroticized."
"Any story involving female submission would be just as well off without the power exchange, because submission is degrading to women."
I don't agree with any of these sentiments, by the way. I am not trying to be hurtful or rude with my continued comments, either. I just feel, very strongly, that it is inherently wrong to impose a standard on what may and may not be considered proper fantasy. As I've said before, who decides where it ends?
I know, Robin, that you said you were appalled at the censorship, and I'm glad. I also know that, for the majority of your post, you were speaking from a personal viewpoint. It's just the end that got me. It sounds like a sweeping generalization, and I'm sorry if I've misinterpreted.
Take care,
