Storylines/Genres you hate

'Hate' is a strong word. Instead of getting a hate boner and lambasting authors for their kink choices, I simply ignore material which I don't like. Live and let live and all of that. I don't understand - for example - the LW trolls who obviously have a massive problem with infidelity, yet like clockwork they show up in the comments section of LW stories and complain about them. Umm... just don't read it?

I'm a firm believer in equality, so almost all subgenres of erotica dealing with power dynamics go right by me. Not getting any twitches downstairs when BDSM or cuckoldery is involved. Non-con? Fuck off with that. Interracial? I don't see the taboo in it. That would be like fetishizing Italians or Norwegians. And last but not least, I avoid feces and piss play like the plague. That stuff belongs in a toilet, not the bedroom.

And above all, I prefer my erotica to be story-centric, not kink-centric. That's why all the stuff I've written - more or less - is story first, sex second. Some commenters even say that my stories work as well without the sex as with it.

I agree with this. For example, I have no desire to read Hucow stories, so if I saw a new story in the Fetish story section called 'Horace Humps a Hucow' I would simply not bother reading it. I wouldn't click on it and post negative comments based on my dislike of that particular kink. Of course, if I really wanted to read 'Horace Humps a Hucow' to satisfy this fetish but was disatisfied by the story in some way - for example it had a disappointing 'it was all a dream ending', it was nothing but a list of bullet points about the various sex acts by Horace and lactating women with no dialogue, or Horace is a real dirtbag who neglects his wife and kids and seeks out struggling single mothers and uses a power imbalance to get them into bed, then I have every right to express my negative thoughts. But not about disliking the story's theme because its obvious what its about. Negative comments are also justified if a kink is just suddenly thrown in with no warning. Sticking with the hucow theme, say I wrote a serious drama set just after WW2 where a young GI assists his late sergeant's widow, this turning to romance. But when it reaches the bedroom, it immediately and without warning goes into bizarre hucow fantasies, then the readers have every right to negatively comment on this.

As for the comment about the Loving Wives negative comments, my take is that they really want to read these stories they profess to hate so they can get angry and write negative comments. For example a middle-aged overweight couple (the wife somewhat more than her husband) where she takes up with a much younger and very skinny male lover with a feeding fetish, and the husband watches it all happen and does nothing about it would likely be attacked savagely, but in reality these readers would be secretly happy the story was posted because they have something new to hate.
 
I hate some stories I've read, but I don't really hate storylines or genres. And hate might be too strong of a word. I am not fond of incest stories in general. That comes from my own experience with incest (in my real family, not the one I grew up in). I'm partial to horror, sci-fi, mysteries, and even Westerns. (Yes, Western's is because of my dad's influence on me. Not the sperm donor, but the man who raised me.) I like twists in stories but not constant ones. I don't require happy endings. In fact, sometimes that is just too much for me to believe when there's a happy ending pulled out of thin air.
 
There have been things that have made me drop an otherwise enjoyable story. Like amnesia that comes up in the middle or towards the end of the story. The beginning is fine, but after that and it's just too tragic. Or noncon with a gender that they're not attracted to. Or forcefully changing someones gender into something they don't identify as. Other forceful body mods might be okay, it depends on how they're played off.

Then there are the things that only make me drop the story without finishing it if it's a stroke story, things that'd be fine normally but not when I'm trying to rub one out. Such as what seemed like a hetero or guy on guy story and suddenly there are women making out. Or a story about a big dominant guy and then suddenly he's being dominated? Or mind control out of fucking no where! Or orgy interruption. And scat, I don't like water sports either but I can ignore it. It's like, give me some warning guys, at the very least put it in the tags so that if I forget to look at the tags I only have myself to blame for wasting my time on such a story.
