Why is noncon not included in your list of banned topics? People have to right to explore those topics, but a fest where everything is supposed to be silly doesn’t feel like the appropriate place to do that.
we totally understand if you do not think sillyfest is the place to explore themes such as noncon. you are free to not include it in your prompts and/or fic submissions!
our rules require participants to make sure all potentially triggering topics are “properly tagged and the story can still be classified as silly.” some people may think that beastiality, underage, and incest could potentially be used in a silly way, which we did not feel would be appropriate for this fest. a lot of thought was put into these rules, and we specifically included those banned topics for that reason.
if someone can find a way to make a story involving noncon into a silly fic, and they properly tag that content, then they are welcome to submit that fic! a lot of times people use humor to cope with pain - because unfortunately not everything is silly all the time.
all participants are required to properly tag their work. if someone submits a fic involving a topic you do not enjoy, hopefully there will be plenty of other submitted fics for you to read instead!
