I hate leaving negative feedback, because it makes me feel like a humorless bitch, but sometimes I just really have to. I can’t tell you how upset I was with this deeply misogynistic story.
This started out really hot, it really was all about Natasha’s pleasure (such restraint Clint!). I was loving your writing and the description. Then we got to the fisting, which really squicks me. But I figured, it’s a kink meme. So what if it’s not my kink? *shrugs* So I kept reading. Chapter 1 was excellent.
But when Thor walked in the room I did the digital equivalent of throwing the book against the wall. I shut the browser and went and did something else. I did come back and finished the story, but I’m seriously regretting it.
I was appalled that when the rest of the team walked into the room their reaction wasn’t “Oh shit, excuse us” and to flee. It’s a huge disservice to all of their characters (but most especially to Cap) that their first reaction when finding a naked woman in the clubhouse was “How can I get my penis into that?” That is now drunken frat boys behave, not Earth’s mightiest superheroes.
The problem with this story was that it started out as a really hot interlude between two committed partners and ended up as a gang bang. A gang bang that reinforced that most anti-woman of male fantasies, the woman who is so sexually insatiable that she requires more than one man, and bigger and bigger cocks, before she’s satisfied.
I love Black Widow because she is fierce and in charge and NOBODY fucks with her. Having the whole team gang bang her? Seriously out of character and seriously UNSEXY. You can give her as many orgasms as you want, but this is still a story about the male members of the team USING Natasha to get their rocks off.
Not cool. So very not cool.
One of the reasons why fandom has been so squeeful about Black Widow is because she’s strong and she’s fierce and she’s in charge of her own life. This story took everything I love about Black Widow and threw it out the window.
