however, when it comes to fanart and fanfiction, all that gets thrown out the window. and in general, sexual content can be a significant part of a good story & can be an important lens to explore some characters and dynamics and themes. people generally agree that sex can be an important and valuable part of art especially where it applies to lgbt, poc, and womens liberation- sex is a necessary part of representing sexuality and is intrinsically tied to explorations of race and gender. Was talking abt this last night but i think a really insidious thing abt fandom in terms of art and creation is the way it actually stigmatizes sex.
