why do I always miss these things?

So apparently there was (is?) some sort of kink meme kerfuffle going on in SGA fandom? I until today I didn't even know that SGA had any kink meme, and now there are two? Could someone link me to posts explaining what was going on?

Kink memster asks for John is chubby-chaser. Fannish Crusader Mod decides this is anti-fat-acceptance. On a *kink* meme. Saner heads prevail.

Wow, that was objected to? on my mental list of "dodgy" kinks that rates really rather low, compared to say underage incest non-con with demon possession, or torture porn with slavery and mutilation or the like.

I know. But there are a lot of overweight women in fandom, and...I'd've said that I'd be the last one to complain of political correctness, but the amount of people using accusations of various 'ism' behavior to prop up their own egos is getting ridiculous.

Hm... have we white woman's tears yet?

Probably. I stopped reading the comments after the third failure to understand that though it can be used hatefully, that is the commonly used name of the particular kink. And that...stopping someone from writing a heavyset character having sex with a fandom hottie because of *terminology* is fat-acceptance-fail in itself.

I would have understood if they had just picked a more "neutral" label for the kink in the delicious tagging (like "body size" or the like), but this seem overblown.

They'd probably have gotten complaints though, from people searching for the fic. Because like it or not, 'chubby-chaser' is the term most people use for that particular kink. Shrug, I'm not sure it's possible to run a kink-meme without offending somebody. Do have to give them some points for trying.
