Re: Unpopular opinions

[(Anonymous)]

With respect, it's very hard for me to see femslash or femslash fans as being very much different from slash / slash fans.

Re: Unpopular opinions

To be fair, I didn't bring up slash or slash fans, but while I don't see a whole lot of difference between the two groups, it feels like the recent major upswing in femslash is a pointed retaliation against slash. Both sides are insulting, but having my own sexuality paraded around on a "boys are dumb!! only girls matter!!" banner specifically to feel superior to slash fans is nothing short of enraging.

Re: Unpopular opinions

I agree that specific thing (BOYS ARE DUMB) is stupid as hell (although I haven't noticed it in anywhere near the same proportion that you apparently have - but I try to ignore tumblr which probably helps a bunch with that).

But I don't think it's stupid or pervasive enough to dismiss femslash totally. And again I don't think you can accuse femslash of anything as a fundamental flaw you couldn't also say of slash. And I get that it's frustrating to have your identity used in that way. I appreciate that. But it's also kind of frustrating to see femslash dismissed so totally and peremptorily, I guess.

I should mention, I don't dismiss femslash on the whole! And, in fact, I have quite a few f/f ships myself. It really is just this particular mindset of it, which is extremely prevalent in the fandoms that I'm in (and a few I've osmosed through my dash). Ignoring Tumblr probably does wonders to avoid it, and I'd love to do so myself, but unfortunately it's where all of my fandoms are in their entirety. :(

Re: Unpopular opinions

Femslash fans are the new dudeslash fans. Slash used to be paraded as the progressive alternative to het, now femslash is paraded as the progressive alternative to slash. Nobody pretends slash is progressive anymore because the popular idea is that slash fans are all just straight girls with internalized misogyny who care more about hot fictional gay men than real ones. Then some other girls said "Aha, I can prove I'm morally above the heteronormative het fans and the misogynist slash fans... by shipping pairings that are still gay, but don't have any guys in them!" and here we are now.
