More of an unintentional trend than anything, but when I'm looking on AO3 for pairing C/D, I don't want to see a huge ass lists of A/B fics with a side of C/D (that usually ends up being a snippet or too, if even that).

For specifics, find fic for F/F pairings is hard enough as it fucking is, so many writers need to stop tagging F/F pairings as a side pairing to their long-ass M/M stuff. God I fucking hate that.

Oh yeah I highly dislike this as well, to the point that if I do have a side-ship in a fic I write I don't put that pairing tag in because I don't want to potentially annoy anyone who's after A/B fic when it's really about C/D. I just put it in the additional tags as like a note that it's there.

And agreed on the bottom part as well, let me have my f/f fic as actual f/f please.

How else are authors going to pretend they care about women characters and are interested in writing them?

cont'

I've noticed that the f/f side pairing is usually the female half of the canon ship that one of the m/m characters belong to. But maybe that's just with Remus/Sirius since it's the only pairing I mess with. No one is going to convince those bitches care anything about Tonks, it's just untrendy to hate female characters now.

AYRT: I admit it, I laughed at this. A very, very bitter laugh. God it’s really fucking obvious when some people are writing f/f pairings for brownie points.

Yeah, it's a feeble attempt to get judgey assholes like you off their backs for not forcing themselves to care about characters they don't care about. So transparent. They should just be honest about only caring about the guys, make it easier for you to rant about them being misogynist human garbage.

Someone’s salty. Just go ahead and say you only give a shit about guys. Makes it easier for everyone.

DA

I mean, I don't find it odd that people would be "salty" over being accused of being misogynists because they prefer to write slash. That's a pretty heavy accusation.

Then just write m/m, then. People have already figured out that the sudden loooove of female characters is a pile of bullshit. Fight against tumblr and just do you. No one believes you're angry about, say, Tonks not being written as a queer woman. We know why you really hate her characterization.

Why do they really hate her characterization?

Yeah, that is a weakness of their current tag filtering system. I prefer all the pairings to be tagged so I can avoid reading ones I really don't like, but I wish there was a way to filter for only fics where the pairing is the main focus.

I just bite the bullet and filter all M/M fics out when I'm looking for F/F. I'm sure I miss some occasional good stuff but whatever.
