I got tired of actually looking for badfic, but I managed to find something that is too terrible for a mission. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13236838/1/idk Main criticism, they forgot the "edit sober" step.

A Splatoon badfic (NSFW).

Some of the issues:
1. It has a Mary Sue that is an assassin, a master of mimicry, a chef at the age of twelve. She also has this sooper speshul ability to manipulate anybody's ink.
2. Said Sue kissed and made out with adults. Only one person had a problem with it, but dropped it later and never brings it up again.
3. Both the Sue and her younger brother got girlfriends and both girlfriends are adults (no, these aren't one-sided crushes on the adults). Nobody in the fic seems to have a problem with this.
4. In some scenes, this fic seems to be trying hard to make sure every character present in a scene has speaking lines but does so in an unnatural way.
And that's about as much as I want to say about it.

- A thousand cuts by TheAutisticDuo
A Borderlands story with a really, really, really bad sue, a bunch of canon-character corruption, a shitload of nonsense, and a pinch of a offensive username. Here's a link to the story AND my riff of it over at Library of the Damned:

Basically a badfic version of the Stargate SG1 episode "Upgrades", except with Sam and Jack becoming indestructible and- in the author's own words- getting "cool powers". Because of a asteroid. Yep. Here's the link:

Content warning: mention of infanticide
I have a serious issue with your description of the first one, specifically the "offensive username".
"Autistic" is not a bad word. It is not derogatory, it is not an insult, it is not offensive. Are there people who use it as such? Yes, but #!$@ them.
Is it that they might be self-identifying as autistic, and are unafraid to claim that label? If you call "self-identifying as autistic" offensive, that's really, really not okay.
Is it that they might be headcanoning Duo-the-character (possibly Duo Maxwell, possibly someone else, that's really not the point) as autistic? That, too, is not offensive, and it's really not okay to say otherwise, especially if the person originating the headcanon is autistic themself.
Do you have to agree with their headcanon? No. Is it hurting anyone or anything? No. Is it possible that an autistic person might have a much more nuanced understanding of what autism actually is, and how it looks, than an allistic (non-autistic) person? Very much so. Has a creator explicitly said that some character is allistic? Death of the Author, baby.
*sighs* Look. As you may be able to tell, this is a major hot-button for me. Hi. I'm autistic, and I find the characterization of "TheAutisticDuo" as an offensive username to itself be incredibly offensive. I don't fit the expected societal norms for an autistic person, because standard autistic stereotypes really, really aren't one-size-fits-all. There's also a lot of institutionalized sexism in autism diagnosis, which I won't get into in this post, but am happy to talk about if anyone's curious.
Organizations like Autism $peaks (which is spelled with an S, not a $, but I point-blank refuse to let the Board auto-harvest that for advertising links) are also incredibly damaging to the autistic community. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this is where the "offensive" description ultimately originates from. They have no autistic people involved anywhere in their organization, and are primarily composed of Autism Parents TM (which is not the same as parents of autistic folks, to be clear).
Far more damning, though, is that they do stuff like supporting parents who murder their autistic children. Unfortunately, they're also the main and only """""autistic voice""""" most people are aware of. They also promote therapies like ABA, which is focused not on helping autistic folks, but rather on forcing them to pretend like they're allistic, in incredibly damaging ways. There's something like an 80% PTSD rate among ABA survivors. (I don't have sources immediately to hand, but if anyone is interested, I can dig some up. I can also go into so much more detail about Them, but I won't unless someone explicitly wants me to.)
To be clear, now that I'm past the initial "you said what" rage, I'm not actually angry at you. I'm angry at and about the rampant societal ableism and stigma surrounding autism and autistic people; I'm furious at organizations like Autism $peaks, who essentially consider my life less valuable for being autistic; and I'm heartbroken by the harm and discrimination my community faces every day.
April is Autism Awareness Month. This year, don't "light it up blue" with Autism $peaks; listen to the #ActuallyAutistic community, and go #RedInstead.
... This, I suppose, has been your Autism Awareness Month lesson. It's something I think is really important to put out there, but I'm sorry I've ended up shoving it down your throat.

To elaborate on things a bit:
I've been diagnosed with either Aspergers syndrome or high-functioning autism (depending on the diagnosing doctor, although the two conditions are simular enough to be pretty indistinguishable) since I was in my early years of high school. This author, however, does not seem to be autistic in any way shape or form. They consistently make reference to "bumfricking" on their profile, and they claim to be two seperate people, hence the "duo" bit (not sure what canon you were referring to there). I've messaged them before via FF.net asking if they'd like me to beta for them (under the initial assumption they were not a troll), and they called me- among other things- a "chink", which really shows you should never tell people your ethnicity in a beta-offer.
They simply appear to be using autism as a shield for trolling behaviour, something I disapprove of immensely. They also copy elements of badfics like My Immortal in their stories, for example the story I posted starts remarkably like said legendary badfic. This all points to a troll. While they may or may not be autistic, they still act in a way that puts a bad rep on other autistic individuals like myself. While I understand your outrage, I don't think you should be aiming it at me. -

I’m sorry to jump down your throat like that, then - that’s very relevant information, especially that they appear to be using it as a trolling shield, and it does cast things in a whole different light. My sincere apologies! This does indeed seem to have been misaimed.
(Incidentally, you may already know this, but the most recent version of the DSM and (IIRC) either the most recent or the upcoming version of the ICD have merged the diagnoses of autism and Asperger’s, so now it’s all just autism spectrum disorder.) -

Trans-Dimensional hopping by a Gary Stu into the world of Familiar of Zero, somehow gaining the powers of various Kamen Riders in the process. The one good thing I can say for this is that it's SFW. Yeesh. Fortunately for any agents sent here, there's only one Gary Stu to kill off (and a whole bunch of characters to neuralize/exorcise) as far as I can tell. -

Tales from the Bladeship
Summary: You were once human but now you're an andalite, an andalite who's just about to be sold to one of the worst warlords in the universe.
Complaints, among several others:
1) Visser Three, somewhat incompetent villain that he is, would not allow an uninfested Andalite on his ship under any circumstances
2) Visser Three would definitely not keep said Andalite as a "pet" for kinky reasons
3) Said Andalite agreeing to be temporarily infested by some random Yeerk on the blade ship so long as they leave when asked is pretty dumb
4) ...

Is it just me, or does the narration forget the characters aren't human during the sex scenes? The anatomy and the blocking are mind-boggling.
Also, has anyone ever come across a reader-insert fic that actually works? Like, call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure I can put myself in the shoes of a character that has their own distinct but well-realized personality more easily than I can a character like this, whose only motivation seems to be freaky alien sex and who barely gets one coherent sentence of dialogue per chapter. I started thinking of "You" as the character's name, because it makes more sense that way, and You is about as interesting and sympathetic as wet cardboard.
I kinda feel bad for the literal Andalite bandits in this story. They exist for half a chapter and even get cute little bits of backstory, and then they're gone, unlamented, never to be heard from again (at least as far as chapter 4). They sound way more interesting than You. Can we get a story about them, and how Visser Three thought he'd finally triumphed over his enemies when he caught them, only to realize they're a bunch of pathetic cast-offs instead, and then they end up escaping and ruining his day anyway, because they're a Rag-Tag Band of Misfits and Wacky Hijinks Ensue? I would read the hell out of that.
