I solved this by exclusively hanging out in slash corners.

But I think that people are looking for an echo chamber of warm feelings, gushing and you-go-girl sentiments rather than letting everyone express their negative opinions on everything. Don't know if it can be stopped or if we should even try to stop it. Maybe in a few years writing for lead female characters will have improved, and fandom will see the flaws in some of their former goddesses.

"I solved this by exclusively hanging out in slash corners."

Man, I wish I could do that. This kind of bullshit is absolutely inescapable when you're primarily a femslash fan. :(

I'm sorry about that, I do like femslash but not actively in fandom for it (I mostly read mangas) and it doesn't make me want to join :x.

Really? I feel like people who are predominately m/m slashers are probably the worst about this. Maybe even worse than femslash and het fans a lot of the time.

Since they don't really want to include female characters in their fic or art or whatever, they feel the need to CONSTANTLY talk about how female characters are "goddesses," "independent," and "too good for male characters." I don't know if it's some kind of complex or what, but I feel like a lot of them feel the need to justify the fact that they aren't particularly interested in m/f or f/f stuff.

I just browse the tags I'm interested in, all of the shippy fluff, none of the hypocrisy. Reblog here and there a few fanarts of female characters I find pretty so it's not suspicious. It helps that in my fandom I'm in currently I don't actively dislike the character. Otherwise I'd drink my own piss rather than reblog something about actual goddess Peggy Carter.

It's because everything is a witch hunt at this point. If you don't toe the party line for any reason, you better have an extensive list of reasons why, or you're gonna catch holy hell.

That said, I do feel like femslashers are the worst about it. Not shippers of a particular pairing, which is obviously fine, but that locust-fandom of people that divebomb onto the newest thing and start screaming about how all the women are flawless and oh yes they are lesbians uwu they hold hands and kiss all the time and men are stupid uwu does this bother you because if it does you're literal garbage and don't deserve to interact with humanity anymore uwu uwu uwu

THIS.

It's especially bad in the Teen Wolf fandom. To an annoying degree. Take Allison Argent, for example. The fans in that fandom will go as far as to handwave every single wrongdoing she ever did so as not to "hate" on her. Even in fan fiction. I can't count the number of fics I've read where Stiles proclaimed her a super intelligent, super badass goddess despite barely having interacted with her. And then he'd tell Scott something like, "She's way too good for you, dude," despite not knowing a thing about her because they literally only exchanged hello's. It's annoying as fuck.

Allison Argent could go batshit crazy and start shooting at innocent teenagers (oh wait! she actually did!) and they would come up with so many reasons why she's was justified in doing what she did, why you shouldn't dislike her for it, why she's still super amazing anyway.

Please. In that case, Peter Hale could pardoned for his heinous crimes too, right? His backstory is certainly worse than Allison's. But oh-no, Peter Hale has a dick so fuck him.

I notice that a lot too. On one hand I'm glad that m/m slash fans have evolved to be aware that they shouldn't be hating on female characters for shitty reasons. On the other hand if they don't want to include the female characters in art or talk about them, then they shouldn't have to. As long as they aren't hating on her for ~getting in the way~ then I don't see why they feel the need to bother with that fake worship.
