things I don't get

Okay, so, this is the summary of the kink fill: Summary: This is my fill from a prompt on spnkink-meme: "Jared adopts a five year old little boy named Jensen. Jared tries to be a normal dad but he becomes more and more attractive to Jensen. One day after giving Jensen a bath he decides he can't take it anymore. Jared starts slowly conditioning the boy to like everything his dad does to him.
He starts with little touches, then fondling the boys little cock, then teaching the boy to suck his dad's cock and vice versa.
It eventually leads to sex. I'd love a detailed description of Jared huge cock penetrating his little boy's hole.
By the time sex happens Jensen wants it so bad. His daddy training worked so well he's begging for it."
DisclaimerI do not know or own (sadly) Jared and Jensen. They belong to themselves. This is fiction please to not be suing.
Warning:EXTREME UNDERAGE, m/m sex, dub con(ish),toys and again EXTREME UNDERAGE. Possible triggers.

I'm going to speed right on past the whole consent issues/age of child/fill content because my brain will explode otherwise, and that's not really what I'm wondering about.

What I'm really not getting here is that ALL of that is outside a cut...so while yay, the author is warning for 'possible triggers' it seems to me that just reading the summary/prompt itself could be pretty damn triggery, yes? I know I've seen people put the summary/prompt under a cut, or with the shading that has to be highlighted to see...haven't I?

I mean, am I wrong here? Again, NOT commenting on the fill itself, just the manner in which it's presented. I feel sometimes like we try too hard to sanitize everything, but in this case, I find myself wondering if a comment to the author to please put the prompt under a cut with a note about how THAT is possibly triggery wouldn't be the thing to do?

Thoughts? Comments? I'm doing homework in between this, but I'll be checking back, because I'm genuinely curious as to what y'all think.


ETA: I went ahead and commented thusly: Hey, there :) I want to ask a favor here, and that be that you put the summary/prompt under a cut of its own, because that's triggery in and of itself. (Do it just as you would a cut for a story, but close it with < /lj-cut > -- without the spaces, obviously.)

I know this is a hardcore comm and all, but some things are triggers for folks even in this comm, and something that descriptive could definitely cause problems for someone.

Thanks :)

Hopefully that's to the point and not...confrontational or anything.

OMG This is HORRIBLE. Sorry, but this is just disgusting, fiction or not. What the fuck is wrong with PEOPLE?? WTF?

I would have deleted this whole prompt.

Wow. It shouldn't even exist.

And yes, it SO triggery.

No, don't apologize. I think it's disgusting, myself. But I was really trying not to...gah, I don't know. Exercise the whole "people can write/read what they want, and I have a back-button just in case". I mean, I'd be happy if shit like this disappeared for forever and never came back. But I was really thrown for a loop with the whole "warning: Possible triggers", and yet it's all out there to see. o_O

I know, babe, just that description is too graphic, hell, it triggered things in me and I'm not a survivor of abuse. I just, FIVE YEARS OLD??? WHUT? No. I can't get past that.

Now imagine if you had a child, who when he was five was open and trusting and (like most kids that age) wanted only to please the adults he loved.

It makes me sick, and heartsick in a way I can't articulate -- because my son was like that, at five. I'm very thankful that no one hurt him in any way, and honestly, that was one of the reasons behind starting SO early with him, talking to him about things very openly and encouraging him to ask me questions and tell me things.

Gah. I think I'm going to go read and do my programming homework because it'll get my mind off this for awhile. :/

This here is one of the reasons I don't want to have a child. Some sick motherfuckers out there, DO NOT WANT.

I'm very happy your son has not been hurt as well, and you're right with being so open with him. It helps.

*hugs tight*

Hope you have a good evening, with happy, shiny thoughts:) <3

Well, I don't know how happy or shiny my thoughts were, but it's amazing how reading about programming language and then doing four pages of homework questions will distract you *g*
