I don't agree with you -- for once! -- on this particular anti-kink; I much prefer the Spike you describe, but I can also get into the slave stuff when it's written just right. (And can do so with any character, really; not sure what in my psyche clicks into it.) What stands as MY anti-kink are happyfluffy fics that attempt to gloss over everything wrong with a situation and have everyone singing a Disney tune by the time the story closes. If I sense it's coming, I have to put a story down. I know by now that finishing the story will make me want to yell at the author, "You think you've changed ANYTHING? You don't think the exact same patterns will emerge five hours later? You didn't address any underlying issues, you just polished a lump of dirt and called it a diamond!"
