"I've read worse," I thought. "I'm sure the political intrigue will make up for the content warnings," I told myself. I failed to remember that I did, in fact, DNF 120 Days of Sodom.

I have no problem with extreme content, but I struggle with uncritical extreme content. And a woman writing about the abuse of enslaved (primarily) men by other men without challenging the narrative feels exploitative and fetishistic.
