Topic: Is anybody else tired of the oversaturation of "bad-end" stories?

Posted under Art Talk

To me there seems to be way too much stuff focused on rape, violence, cuckold, prostitution and the like. What's up with that? It's pretty weird to there's that much made and still being made.

Don't really see it as weird in any way, people have fetishes, man.
Since we're in a fandom where scat play is commonplace and cub porn is popular; rape, violence, cuckolding and prostitution seems pretty vanilla', to me at least.

cuckolding seems pretty tame to me, but I have to agree that the rest seem a little... odd.

But I don't judge either. I like things others would probably consider weird. Because of that, I don't really care that others create and enjoy content based around that stuff.

After going through thousands of old, long-neglected posts, I've pretty much only seen stupid endings lately.

You mean like Fall of Equestria?

Yeah, I don't really get the appeal of things just like you described. I got mad at it once - really mad, in fact, but now I just take comfort in the knowledge that it's quite stupid.

Very little of it is well written, especially the "bad-end" pieces.

Don't do ponys, but that's the gist of it.

why would you have wasted energy getting mad?

It's not even just fiction, it's a second layer of fiction that a lot of people have no idea exists

Anyway, bad endings are often written to make the audience feel better about the endless complexities of life.

Hey, these past few months may not have been great, but at least you didn't have to shoot a dog that just saved your life (Old Yeller)

Anyway, Ko-san, when you talk about these bad endings, you just mean stuff on e621, right?

Maybe it's novice writers trying to be edgy in those cases.

Well adult media in general. Sad turns and bad ends in stories such as Ace's death in One Piece can be great. I'm actually referring to terrible plots in adult comics, games and movies that all seem to revolve around someone destroying someone else's life with no reason or consequence. This goes doubly for professionals seeing as it doesn't even look like they are trying most of the time. And if they aren't then why even waste to resources?

Your mission is to beat out "Yagami Yuu". That movie starts out nice then things deteriorate into one hell of a bad ending with a yandere cliche.

The best bad ending I've ever seen was the original Oldboy movie.

Call me old-fashioned but my favorite bad end is 1984's.

I also liked Metal Gear Solid 3's.

I don't care if it's a game; when you see Big Boss cry, you cry too, dammit (;_;)

2025. Vanilla genre becomes avant-garde. You fap to hallucinatory torture on a regular basis while giving yourself electric shocks with a USB 3.1 connected cattle prod.

Netorare/Cuckold kills my boner faster than seeing my own mother's breasts. Can only get into it if the cheated on party is a straight up ass hole. But then that isnt a bad end.

I don't like cuckold porn simply because the word "hubby" squicks me out, and they seem to be obsessed with using the term for some reason.

That and the whole "unattractive white guy's wife fucking a black guy" gets old quick.

So would you describe yourself as "somewhat interested in incest" or "moderately interested in incest"?

Consensual sex is the most boring kind of sex, and honestly there should be much less of it.

Fictional incest is fine. Real life not so much. Being in a relationship ruins the whole cuckold concept for me.I even give green light to light rape.

Moot is cuck'd as fuck.

Also I enjoy "bad ends" just because when I was growing up every movie/book/game always had a happy ending. I used to watch disney movies and pause the film at about 10-15 minutes before the end and that would be my "bad end" of the film. Like imagine Beauty and the Beast where Gaston fights the beast knocks him off the building, killing him. What happens then? Does Belle marry Gaston and end up in a terribly abusive relationship? Who knows...

There's just more story potential off of a bad end then a happy one.

Happy "bad ends" are good too, like the ending of Bad News Bears.

There are well made "bad-ends" you just have to wade through the 90% of crap. And you guys are using the cuckold term correctly, yes? Cheating or breaking up isn't cuckold.

I was just thinking over a "bad end" for Beauty and the Beast and ultimately by taking into consideration accurate characterization, I believe everyone, Gaston included, would be screwed over had Beast died.

Oh, so you're talking about stories with bad endings? Can't remember if I linked that before... I feel bad reading just the summaries and tags.

Anyway, I'm sure lots of those stories were written in the 90s and shared via newsgroups, so bad endings or entirely rotten main characters/stories aren't new (to erotic stories on the Internet) and neither are their readers. It's always been around, often barely out of sight and all but out of mind, I assume.

As a matter of fact, try browsing a repository of stories, one which doesn't enforce some community content guidelines or other censorship, for passably written stories that don't feature scumbags or arbitrary shitty behaviors or events. I swear to god, there may be more erotic stories featuring "nc"/"rape" and other not-so-taggable despicable or unapologetically coarse behaviors than stories that manage to maintain the pretense of human fucking decency throughout.

My observations have developed to the point where I unfairly assume that "human decency" is too unwieldy and onerous a concept for some amateur erotica authors to bother incorporating into their stories, that writing according to a common sense of morality requires too much effort. Based on that and a few real world accounts read here and there, the cynic in me wonders whether my concept of and expectation for basic human decency in the average person is too high a standard. In other words, I wonder if people's personalities and behaviors are a lot uglier than I wish to believe. Of course, consumers and creators of such works can roundly dismiss my cynicism with a "thought crime" defense, as I have for my own philia, but that doesn't allay my disappointment in their seeming callousness when it comes to getting off (and duplicity in defense thereof).

Like I said, you don't even have to use amateur work, it's just if not more over saturated in professional work. Just check DLSite. You'll get hundreds of pages of rape, death and NTR but you'll only find something like 5 pages tagged "happy couple" or consensual.

@Ko-san: If you wanna see some happy endings, you should check out the comics made by Mikazuki Karasu, they mostly got really heart-warming endings imo. Also if you're prepared for a big adventure, check out 'Better Late Than Never' (Rule 34 applied to Kung Fu Panda, just a warning), it got over 400 pages but a very pleasant ending imo. Other than that, there's funny stuff like 'Here There Be Dragons' (Pt. 1-3).
I could mention more, but that would go beyond the scope of things..

Depends on what you're into imo. Since I'm more the emotional and passionate type, I much prefer some well-done consensual acts. There's nothing to say against a bit of kinkiness though imo.
