It doesn’t even make sense to call a topic itself “dead dove.” “Dead dove” is about how you approach topics YES totally! I've recently seen a lot more references to "dead dove topics" and that totally misses the mark.
I wish we could spend our time on that rather than retreading things we already solved. I agree, obviously. I think such things as kink and darkfic issues are getting relitigated, however, because lots of people believe they simply shouldn't exist -- and I don't know how to make them see that such questions aren't welcome? (Idk if this is clear. I just woke up.) That is, they're cloaking their actual goals in terms of tags and such, but what they want is spaces without any of the topics that they think are wrong.
