Levels of Plausibility

[SissyBrandi19]

I have no problem with implausibility, but the implausible still needs an underlying logic to it. What you're describing in these stories is mostly laziness. What's missing, as you point out, is the underlying motivations for the characters to accept their reality.

A billionaire who gets away with treating you and your family like shit? A dystopian reality - awfully similar to our own - where billionaires basically own people. Women stuck in the 1950s? Look where we're heading now... A wife seeking a job and getting turned into a freeuse slut? Hmm.

Nightmare visions dressed up as fluffy fantasy. Laziness.

Implausible is perfectly okay, done correctly. I write humor and some of my humor is what some term "absurdist". But to your point, you hate to see implausible that is nothing more than laziness in disguise. Implausible done correctly can actually be very clever, though I'm speaking overall, not just with respect to erotica.

Absurdism can be a lot of fun.

I can think of someone writing a dark, dystopian version on Lit. A son acquires a magical healing power (as in the anime 'Redo of Healer') that can restore health and bodies. He uses it to torment his own mother. She is broken down literally and then built back up for more suffering. But I don't have the stomach for gore.
