A bulletproof kink is a story element a fanfiction reader likes or is turned on by regardless of poor writing quality, implausibility, or unsavory plot elements. Perhaps surprisingly, given the sexual origin of the word kink, many bulletproof kinks are story tropes unrelated to (or incidental to) sex.
According to Anna S the term was coined by Viridian5 and Laura Shapiro.[1] [2]
Examples of Bulletproof Kinks

"Competent characters are my bulletproof kink."
"Oh, amnesiafic. How I love you in all your bathetic glory."
"That story had plot holes a bus could drive through, but I'll read anything with vampire sex."
