i actually don’t think it’s progressive or revolutionary to reject reading any book if it has a m/f or “het” pairing i actually think it’s deeply anti-intellectual and regressive if you don’t want to engage with media that you can’t selfinsert in
porque no tiene autoestima ninguna, entonces no piensa que una mujer genuinamente guste de él por quién es, liga con mujeres porque él es así, pero no para lograr una relación, porque no se siente que merezca eso
when male characters aren’t fleshed out, fans become surrogate authors to help. if a female character isn’t fleshed out, then that’s it. no reason to engage w her beyond parameters set by her author & fandom. sad that this thought killing tool is considered “literary criticism”
currently thinking about how quick dennis was to take carmen's hand and start stroking her forehead when she came to and was crying..... dennis whitaker please don't ever lose your empathy for your patients and your gentleness :(
No its because danmei writers mostly women worked around the censorship to create a market for these stories. We have lost so many writers due to censorship. Stop praising it. Censorship is an active hindernce and has never helped anyone or any creative process
ngl i hate that women aren't allowed to talk about having kinks without feminists writing thinkpieces on how they're "normalizing" misogyny like girl you are reinventing "women must be pure because dicks and sex corrupt them" conservatism from step one
Ive always said this but no one knows how to watch sitcoms bc everyone is so used to high dramas. Saw someone go “every episode felt like filler” thats what a sitcom is!!! Situation Comedy!!! You put those guys in a Situation!
anyways i DO have empathy for the sad hypocritical burnt out healthcare worker who planned on killing himself all of s2. the whole point is for you to empathize with him while he does the wrong things because mental health issues are never pretty or polite
Both the Rocky Horror discourse and the sapphic book discourse can be answered the same way: not every piece of queer media needs to be about YOUR queer experience or be comfortable for you. If it isn't about you, then it isn't about you.
thinking about robby coming home from his sabbatical to dennis absolutely fucking furious. he completely vacated the house before robby got home and gave the key to jack to return. he refuses to speak to him outside of patient care, not even about the damn weather. (1/9)
Not to weigh in on discourse but I really find "I won't read sapphic books if there's ANY heterosexuality in them" such a pathetic stance. No consideration for why it might be in there, themes/literary merit at all. Just consumption for pure reader gratification. Fanficcification
