On the other hand, it can be a little surprising how so many in the supposedly tolerant slash community haven't mastered the YKIOKIJNMK principle ("your kink is okay, it's just not my kink"). Sure, it's appropriate at any time to say "Celery-fucking? That's just not my gig, so I'm not going to read porn that depends on it--it won't work for me." It's also appropriate to say "Well, this celery porn was totally implausible, badly-written, etc." But since when is it appropriate to say that celery-fucking is just gross and it doesn't make sense for people to people to read or write celery porn? Kinks themselves are value-neutral, folks. It's how you act on them that matters. And when it comes to the fanfic, we're simply speaking of fantasy, which harms no one and is strictly a matter of personal preference--which means bashing celery porn per se is just being rude.

Well, yes, but ... Celery porn is sick! Sick and twisted and wrong!

Have you ever thought of the poor exploited celery, Sarah?
