Personally, I'd leave it up to the PPC author to decide where the line was, both for themselves and their characters. All I'd ask in return is that they remember the wiki's guidelines regarding YKINMK and have some authorial detachment.

Fics don't hurt us. Fics can't hurt us. They're just sort of... there, like static interfering with your favourite song on the radio for a moment. Even the worst excesses of bad slash are just bad writing, and while I don't think kink really should be a factor in deciding what constitutes a charge (hell, dubcon's a thing, though one I urge you not to Google), I recognise and respect that other people may not feel that way.

That all said, there is such a thing as badly-written kink. SSC's a fairly common term in the scene, and for those that aren't familiar with it, it means safe, sane, and consensual. Kink that does not conform to these within reasonable boundaries? 'S'a charge for me. Maybe not for you though, and that's okay too.

Different strokes, and so forth.
