But it's the conflation of the issue with other issues, and the conflation of the issue with a fandom-wide issue in some quarters that annoys me.
Exactly! Re: the vid itself, I'm just not interested. Re: the whole issue of kinks and shaming, I'm...also not that interested, because I don't understand the issues or community enough to really muster much of an opinion. But when people do start to politicize the response to the effect of "yes, fandom should think about how it treats men" as, like as fandom-wide moral or political issue, I get a bit peeved.
And the whole thing where I'm irrationally annoyed at being told to THINK ABOUT THE BOYS, whether it's by VVC/slash fandom who enjoyed the vid or by the people raising the Treatment of Men as an Issue, is sort of separate. Though I do realize it does sort of conflate all the issues into: BOYS BOYS AGAIN WITH THE BOOOYYYYS, WHYYYYY. But my brain can't really help it.
