So, there's a couple entries in TearJerker.My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic Non Canon that are pretty questionable. They're clopfics (sexually explicit pony fanfiction. I know, I don't like the fact that the fandom came up with a word for this stuff either.) The second one in particular is pretty disgusting, but I don't know if that's reason enough to remove them, though I suspect they were added by a troll. Here are the entries in question.

  • That Night Atop The Tower takes Cadence's status as The Woobie and takes it Up To Eleven. How? Celestia reveals to Cadence that, as an Alicorn, she's immortal and will outlive Shining Armor, also revealing Celestia herself suffered the exact same thing. Once Cadence recovers from that bombshell, resolving to remain with Shining Armor, she returns to their bedroom...and is promptly pulled through a mirror by Queen Chrysalis who proceeds to force her to watch as she makes love to Shining Armor right in front of her.
  • Hormones. Spike goes through puberty, and not being able to deal with his urges, eventually ends up raping Winona. Caught in the act by Applejack, he runs home ridden with guilt, knowing that his reputation in town and all his friendships are ruined forever, and hangs himself in the basement. The ending where Twilight finds him is heartbreaking enough, but then few weeks later the author wrote an epilogue about Twi having to deal with the loss, which gets even more depressing.
  • The otherwise hilarious fanfic Estrus has a moment where Fluttershy reveals that her parents were relgious fundamentalists comparable to Margaret White, - prompting a hug from Pinkie Pie - as well as a brief moment where Pinkie wonders if she might be adopted and looks crestfallen - though it only lasts for a split-second, not long enough for Fluttershy to return the hug.

I know they don't have a works page, but still, I think the no porn policy covers works that don't have a trope page, right?

We've pretty much decided that examples of cut things can stay on other pages as long as the entry itself isn't prurient or anything.

I don't really see anything wrong with that first or third entry, other than the first one mentioning sex happened. The links to the second and third might need to be taken out, but are you sure that first one is porn? The site rates it for teens.

Those don't really look like porn to me.

#9285: Sep 28th 2012 at 2:53:05 PM

Okay, the first one isn't graphic and the sex is in like the last paragraph, but the second one is horrendous. The third one is mostly just funny, so it might be okay.

Check things before you speak, Vinyl.

"Horrendous" as in, really porn-y?

Yes. And horrendous in terms of writing too, but it's the porn part we need to worry about.

I just read through Hormones, and most of what I found that could be porny was just Spike masturbating, with the occasional sex fantasy taking over. The Winona rape is at the end, and is followed by Spike hanging himself.

Overall, I'm not sure what to think of this. This one definitely will need to be looked at the the P5.

Does it have a page here, though? Otherwise it's not actionable (unless it falls under the rec exclusion rules)

Well, it's a fanwork page so it kind of is a recommendation page.

Examples, as far as I can tell, are only actionable if they are creepy or otherwise problematic. We don't have a policy for examples for cut works yet as of now, according to the policy thread.

Hm, it appears that Kingdom Hearts is flagged.

Look, I'm more than well aware of some of the shit Yaoi Fangirls have concocted over the years (especially in regards to Sora, Riku and the Organization XIII), but I don't think that's a good reason to flag this.

50 shades of grey should probably not be called an "erotic novel" on our page.

(I'm going to skim and see if the examples are creepy)

EDIT: Not creepy as in skeevy, but holy crap, I would flag this myself if I were unfamiliar with its history.

The problem is that it is an erotic novel. Even Wikipedia classifies it that way.

Yeah, but our page on it is, by no means, at all the kind of shit I would expect here, and really is absolutely the single most negative page (without being obvious about it) I have ever read.

I don't see any need to re-revisit 50 Shades of Grey. We (and by we I mean not me) already cleared it after initially cutting. Terrible it may be, but porn it ain't.

We did already send the holler, yes?

Perhaps the page could merit some cleaning, however?

I mean, I haven't looked at the page, but you're getting multiple people with issues here.
