Yeah, that’s…I mean, the creator has a right to feel what they feel, but they can’t necessarily expect that feeling to dictate other people’s actions. You don’t have to be comfortable with everything that everyone else does–as long as they aren’t asking you to actively participate, it isn’t any of your business.
That being said, it is fair for the creator to say, “I don’t want to hear, see, or be asked questions about NSFW fan content,” so if I were in that fandom, I’d proceed as if the creator had said that. (Meaning, don’t show it to them, tell them about it, or otherwise bring it to their attention, and post it only in places where NSFW content is expected & with tags/other labels clearly indicating it as NSFW–like you should be doing anyway.)
It’s sort of like, uh, if you give a pair of shoes to a thrift shop, there’s a chance they could be purchased by a foot fetishist who will use them as a masturbation accessory. With any luck, you will never know that this has taken place, and so will not need to feel any sort of way about it, but let’s say that you do find out.
- If the purchaser tracks you down and tells you about the specific use to which they have put your old shoes, then they are in the wrong.
- If you go looking for who bought your old shoes, to make sure they are only using them in ways you approve of, then you are in the wrong.
- If you stumble across foot fetishist porn featuring shoes that you recognize as having previously been yours–and you find it in a location where it is appropriate and expected that there will be porn–then no one is in the wrong, even though you have had an uncomfortable experience.
