OP of #9 here. I'm so sorry, but I realized I should've put a NSFW for nudity warning when I submitted the secret. My bad!

Text: I want to make fandom friends, but I think I’m too lazy. I’m not sure how to keep up contact.

It doesn’t feel worth it when I’m probably socially “needier” than the other party. Why should I put in the effort only to make someone feel awkward like that? I can function as a lurker, and maybe that’s for the best.

The last time I had multiple conversatons [*conversations] over a long period of time with fellow online fans was around 2007.

Nothing to do with the show, but I had a question - is this an 80's/90's costume drama? Or a modern setting? Can't tell based on the description.

Text: When I feel like I’m getting attached to a fandom, I stop purposely going deeper into canon and mostly just consume fanwork because:

a) 99.9% of the time, I don’t have fandom friends or friends who care about the canon, so if something compels me to squee/rant, no1curr

b) I don’t have the dedication and ability to be one of those fans who can contribute their knowledge to communities by writing coherent meta and primers

I know I can just do it for my own enjoyment, but those two factors outweigh that.

Well, I mean, yeah. If it's a fully fleshed out character, well written as a human being before "woman", then the character acting sensually is not really a problem, because it's believable. Whereas if the character isn't well-written, and just seems there for the purpose of being sexual for the enjoyment of the audience, then that is obnoxious. What's the problem here?

And I will say it can be very dependent on how the character is portrayed sensually. Are there gratuitous scenes of her being naked that aren't really necessary? Does the camera lovingly slide up her every curve? Does it seem like the character is being sexual for the audience, rather than the character being sexual to someone she is flirting with?

I'm not saying there aren't Tumblrinas who are inconsistent with their opinions, but that doesn't mean criticizing unnecessary sexualization of female characters (especially when male characters aren't treated that way) is invalid.

I've never thought about it this way, but I really, really love this, OP. This is now my headcanon too.
