"Stealing" from someone is far less sinful than Lust, according to a good number of my neighbors. Seeing desire, lust, or eroticism as a natural part of being *alive* and *human* just doesn't occur to them. Sex is "bad" and by not only appreciating it, but inciting thoughts of it in others, I'm damned to Dante's second level of Hell in many minds.
And those people also vote. |
As a good friend of mine once said:
"This is America, and in America you have the Right to be Stupid as well as blindingly Ignorant."

About a year ago I admitted to an in-law that I wrote fanfiction when he asked me how I spent my time, and he professed horror, accusing me of plagiarism and theft of intellectual property. The discussion ended very uncomfortably, and I don't talk about it anymore. |
Sheesh, what a fucktard, dolarabee. Sorry, but that in-law definitely has a corncob shoved up their ass. |
Err, your comment is no less relevant because you addressed it to me, but it's Jael who has the uptight inlaw...
ETA: Not that some of mine aren't...
do.

A revelation, really? It's not that I'm ashamed but just like there are certain things I wouldn't share willy-nilly, the fact I write/read smut is one of them. It's something I know I can tell certain people and not others. It's not so much what they would think of me as not really needing the aggro if it didn't go down well. And yes, I keep my porn hidden from most too. 
do.

do. |
I agree with this, I do this sort of thing in general. My tat is where it can easily be displayed or hidden, depending on the company I intend on keeping.
I do filter my stories to a large extent depending on the audience since I work with some very mixed groups.
I don't wave my fanfic in my 'original' friends faces because there is typically a negative knee-jerk reaction.
So there are a lot of areas where I won't lie, but I don't wave the flag either.
