I feel like a lot of people don’t understand that male centric m/f media and female centric m/f media are two completely different things ☠️ like we aren’t talking about shounen
@aaliyaharchivez mind you, all I ever see is the exact opposite 😭 someone called me homophobic once for saying I didn’t ship they’re yaoi ship that WAS NOT canon
@cafecubano_ I just feel like someone saying what type of couple they prefer shouldn't generate a whole fucking discourse. No one ever says anything when fandoms gravitate around the male characters and have the female characters in the background, but suddenly this is the end of the world.
The quotes lol. People whose hobby is shipping two straight men together are not about to morally lecture me about female characters and the ethics of straight ships.
also kinda reminded of the aggressive overcorrection people did re "period smell" and claimed that you can't smell it and to say otherwise is misogyny. like... you can. sorry. the thing is, it's not shameful or something you need to point out. bodies smell sometimes. it's ok.
i have been saying this again and again and again. this discourse will never end some idiot will always bring up homophobia just because other people do not care about their male characters (who happens to be gay ACCORDING to their headcanon)
I think some of it might also come from guilt or defensiveness. They obviously feel the opposite way, that men are more interesting to read about than women, but they’re too afraid/ashamed to admit it, so they attack women who openly express more interest in reading about women
@zhaophobia no one is calling straight ships woke, however isnt it normal for someone who loves/prefers women to choose a hetero ship (with a woman) over a yaoi ship (with no women involved at all)?
I’m reminded of how fans of a very popular mlm ship called me homophobic for saying I preferred a canon wlw ship (because I’m a queer woman and prefer seeing a sapphic relationship in which I can see myself represented) over an mlm ship that isn’t canon not even in subtext.
when people dont gaf about yuri or female characters, its just a preference and fandom isnt political, but when people dont gaf about yaoi or male characters, its serious homophobia and yaoi is actually feminist and you're no fun. #ok
ohh?? “Heatedrivalrylover69” with a Shane Hollander profile picture and a Byler header doesn’t like yuri or interact with female centric media??
Color me surprised
@uketillbu how is it misogynistic to point out the obvious hypocrisy of getting mad people for enjoying either wlw or het media over mlm media because it has women and getting called homophobic for it
it's literally the opposite? i've been misgendered, called straight and homophobic for preferring wlw and disliking one (1) mlm ship. mlm ships also always dominate fandoms. ao3 top 100 ships only had like 3 wlw ships and people ALWAYS ridicule wlw writers for it too
Morning “people” once again admitting they think the world literally revolves around them. I don’t care that you woke up early?? You will not rush me lol. Don’t forget who you rely on to tuck your whiney ass in at 7pm
