Re: Isn't that sometimes the point, though?

[(Anonymous)]

OP said they give leeway when the author is trying to make commentary on gender roles.

Oh, yes, OP would be slightly less annoyed by an author making what OP would consider good commentary.

Re: Isn't that sometimes the point, though?

[(Anonymous)]

That is indeed what the secret says...

Re: Isn't that sometimes the point, though?

And that's your definition of leeway? Okay.

Re: Isn't that sometimes the point, though?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes? They view certain authors less critically under certain circumstances.

DA but "slightly less annoyed" is still pretty much disgusted with the existence of something that I, a lesbian, write to feel empowered. Because pretending everything is okay isn't nearly as empowering to write than someone breaking the norms down.

You can find something annoying without being disgusted that it's allowed to exist. Everyone's allowed to have preferences. Doesn't mean you don't recognize that other people can different tastes.

Signed, a lesbian who personally feels more empowered writing about fantasy worlds where gender- and sexuality-based equality are the norm.
