The controversy related significantly to the novel's feminist themes and treatment of sexuality, but much of the controversy was couched in commentary on Cross' prose. Much of the mockery centered on the phrase "venom cock" to descibe an erection. Some focused on Cross' dialectical renderings.

	As with any fandom controversy, there were probably almost as many explanations or motivations for the mockery as there were people involved. From a feminist perspective, significant concerns arise about criticism directed at the book ''because'' of its treatment of sexual and sexist violence, and the extent to which sexist critiques masked themselves as attacks on the language. For instance, was it easier for fandom to "gang up" on Janine Cross and ''Touched by Venom'' because ''TBV'' was written by a woman and attempted to treat extreme sexism and misogyny? Or, was sexism implicated in the particularly personal nature of the criticism directed first at Janine Cross and ''TBV'', and then at one of the positive reviews of the book, by [[Liz Henry]]? Opinions may vary, but understanding the particularly ~~vvehement~~ and personal nature of the criticism in this case can help fans and critics alike be responsible and thoughtful in criticism.

			To be entirely honest, though, her use of the words "venom cock" to descibe an erection had much to do with the scorn. The phrase vemon cock was to be seen in a sample of the book's prose displayed at a convention.
