oh no,i wasn't saying you tag it wrong or it wasn't obvious what this was, i read it because curiosity lol so wasn't misleading. but i was searching for salt stories so i guess ao3 kinda- push this there since i forgot to add salt tag and searched salt first, adding the fandom and stuff later because the word salt is all around the place lol
and i can definitely understand your frustration about some authors adding salt in a non-salt fic or salting a bit too much lol. hate it when you start a nice looking story but the author ruins it by an unexpected salt or angst that wasn't tagged/explained right
although i agree with a lot of things people think about Thomas Astruc it is unnecessary to oversalt it and go too much with unkind words (i mean the guy victim blames and doesn't acknowledges a lot of harmful/wrong things he did/does/thinks but no need to take it too far and stood to his level)
just wanted to say that people can and do like salt fics (or any other fic) and that's okay, it's not a bad thing even if some people doesn't enjoy them. this just came across as a bit like "i don't like salt fics because the actual situation in the show isn't as bad as how salt authors write their own stories" when you think about this as just fictional stories about fictional characters and people's love for angst and salt, saying that the source material isn't like that is like saying "this isn't how canon is, these characters wouldn't act like in this au" to a regular fanfiction you read
not offended at all btw, i just like a good debate like conversation and taking about a topic with people who have a different opinion as long as it doesn't turn into a petty fight lol
Comment on Salt fics make no sense
