The hilarious thing is that when you look at the notes and reblogs on posts laughing at the Hamilton mermaid AU, there are people who have absolutely no business sipping that particular tea. Like, y’all pretend to be scandalized but I see your Faun!locks and South Park porn (not to mention whatever depravity lurks your ao3 bookmarks).

I'm honestly kind of baffled by this outrage... I mean, cannibal mermaids isn't even that weird, let alone the kind of thing that usually provokes moral panic.

There's an award winning movie in the cinemas right now about a woman fucking a fish monster. Cannibal mermaids is your run-of-the-mill horror.

Also, it's canon in the manga "Mermaid Saga".

A lot of mermaids are anthropophagic anyway. Mermaids eating mermaids I'd find a bit weird, but mermaids eating humans is a frequent tale.

It's not even the most scandalous thing that author ever wrote, either. /fond memories

Of all the things, a cannibal mermaid AU doesn't even seem like the kind of thing to ping anti radars normally. I thought violence was ok, as long as there's no age difference or ~abuse?

Re: Tumblin’! Tumblin’! Tumblin’ on the River [tumblr thread]

[(Anonymous)]

SA that said I know they have written other stuff that antis would consider problematic, but it sounds like these people just went for the most out their description to garner attention and outrage.

Re: Tumblin’! Tumblin’! Tumblin’ on the River [tumblr thread]

[(Anonymous)]

I wonder if it was the intersection of cannibal mermaids and characters who are POC? I can see antis turning that into "you're presenting POC as violent, murderous creatures, how dare!!"

Hamilton is Bad, Racist, and Problematic now, so it's more of a "why are u writing gross fic about literal slave owners, ugly, go choke and die uwu" thing. The cannibal mermaid thing is just an "ewwwww weird kinks, I'm kinkshaming" cherry on top of the sundae.

Was that the creep who forced rillrill to disclose her trauma?

That sounds like a Hamilton/Book of Mormon crossover.

I came to this post specifically to see if I could figure out what the hell was going on here - http://devonwood.tumblr.com/post/166886753958/moltencalf-i-sincerely-apologize-for-spamming -
because I was laughing at "And the person who uncovered it is doing it for revenge because the fake-HIV-fanfic writer made them delete a fanfic about Lin-Manuel Miranda and Thomas Jefferson as cannibal mermaids performing oral sex and unironically accused them of gentrifying cannibalism??? I mean, this shit is fucking gold."

Lol, they really think that's what this was about? Tumblrites are too stupid to breathe.

LMAO, gentrifying cannibalism. Ten years ago you could get a long-pork chopped cheese from the cannibal bodega for $2.50, now all these hipster gourmet restaurants have moved in selling local, free-range human for ridiculous prices, acting like nose-to-tailbone cooking is some kind of trendy shit they invented instead of what normal low-income cannibals have always had to do because when your neighborhood has a reputation for cannibalism you never know when the next out-of-towner will show up.

But we know how to deal with hipsters, oh yes we do...

I think it was less that HIVliving made them delete their fic (I don't think they did until today actually?) but that they were harassing/scamming people.

Here's another person clarifying.

THE GENTRIFICATION OF CANNIBALISM POST WAS A STUPID AF HANNIBAL ESSAY THAT MISSED THE POINT OF THE ENTIRE CHARACTER

I wrote crackfic based on a tumblr post and expanded it to edgy as fuck crackfic cause I have a bad sense of humor. LIKE THAT'S NOT EVEN WHAT VORE IS, CREATURES. I WROTE HORROR AND MONSTERS BECAUSE I LIKE THOSE THINGS.

Like Christ call me out for writing RPF, go ahead, and I'll say what I said at the time: I tried to make sure it'd never get to the cast. I BEGGED other people to lock their fic. and if someone wants to pretend that there's a huge gulf in visual imagery between the Modern AU Lams fanart that LIN TAPED TO ANTHONY'S DRESSING ROOM DOOR, IRL, THAT HAPPENED, and random linthony such that the latter is fetishizing, cool, but it's not a moral point to me.

Like, I clearly do not believe that any of the stuff I wrote is Real and True. Spoilers for unfinished blind bird extra fic: It was gonnna link to the John Laurens Ghost Boyfriend fic.

I wrote RPF for no other reason than the fandom was smaller and had better writers and I didn't need to wrestle with canon.

And like give me a fucking break about all of this, the canon fic I did write consistently pointed out that These People Aren't Great, For Systemic Reasons (The System Is Slavery)

I cannot take any rpf callout seriously after I found out that prick who wrote LITERAL PEDOPHILE HAMWASH SPECIFICALLY TO TRIGGER RILLRILL, that prick who sackcloth and ashes flouncepologized from RPF after her monster RPF didn't get as many kudos as mine, that she was continuing to COMMENT AND KUDOS RPF.

Did I write some in hindsight offensive shit? Probafuckingly. Did anyone actually come to talk to me about it? Once an anon advised me to change a pet name. I did. Could I have done better? Yes! Yes, I'm sure I could have.

(you know what you have to do with monsters? worldbuild. know what that leaves less time for? describing bodies in detail. hmmm)

Could I have comported myself less weirdly? Oh yes.

I DIDN'T LIE ABOUT HAVING HIV FOR MONEY, THOUGH

THIS MEANS I WIN

So, does anyone have a link to the cannibalism gentrifying post? Because that shit sounds hilarious.

Has anyone involved in this mess not deleted their blog?? I wanna rubberneck, but everything's disappearing.

DA

Oh man, okay, suddenly things make sense. For the past day I was misreading "Hamilton mermaid AU" as "HANNIBAL mermaid AU," and I couldn't figure out what was supposed to be so weird about the characters being cannibals. I was like, is it supposed to be the mermaid part that's funny, or ... ?

A Hannibal mermaid AU is totally an idea with legs, though.
