Does it really need a warning?

[switch842]

Why do SG fanfic writers WARN for Bottom!Jack? Is Daniel fucking Jack really such a repulsive and horribly things it deserves a warning, like character death? Really? Why is Daniel fucking Jack a disturbing thing? I think it's kinda hot, actually. :-P

I've usually found that the people who warn for Bottom!Jack are the same narrow-minded morons that see Daniel in an exclusively submissive position and therefore Jack *gasp* bottoming is so totally out of character it needs a warning. *shakes head*

I think it's kinda hot, too. *g*

I've found that, too. Like, they have to make someone "the girl" and since Daniel's a civilian and not the macho-military man that Jack is, obviously it's him. Whatever. *eyeroll*

This one of my bug bears. Why the hell should Jack be a totally exclusive Top????

I see them both as Alphas and after some negotiation (ie arguement) I can see them happily Switching.

I also think a Alpha Daniel topping Jack is pretty hot too :-)

I think the "argument" could be one of the best parts!

I had Daniel top Ronon once, so I don't think there is anythign wrong with Bottom!Jack. :)

Nice! Heh heh.

I completely agree. Top Dom Daniel is like way way hot. And bottom Jack is equally as hot. I don't see why it needs to have a warning...and I never noticed that fics do give it as a warning. Very strange.

It doesn't happen too often. But it's often enough to bug me. Like, if maybe they mentioned in the summary in passing, it might not bother me so much. But when they put it with the WARNINGS... Ugh. That's where is gets me....

That's always irritated me too. :-/

It's just completely pointless....

Personally, I don't see the point, HOWEVER...

I spent 15 minutes of a 30 minute meeting today at work listening to the reasons WHY it is vitally important to know who is fucking who in a scene and how it HAS to be considered in choosing said scenes, BLAH BLAH BLAH. Granted, I work in porn, but is apparently of utmost importance in gay porn. So...

That said, I think it's a kink thing. Either you have a bottom!Daniel kink and you do not want bottom!Jack (so you now won't read), or you have a bottom!Jack kink and therefore now you WILL read, or you don't care and the warning is just there. So, hypothetically, warning for it winz all around.

I get that. I know there are some people that, for whatever reason, don't like bottom!Jack. But I guess the thing I take "offense" to is it being termed a "warning." To me, you warn for things like non-con or BDSM. If you want to make a mention in your author notes or summary, ok fine. But get it out of the warning!

IMO, it's completely stupid. I don't think categorizing it is cool, either, since that assumes that the *normal* position is Top(alpha man)Jack/Bottom(beta girl)Daniel.
