Everything everyone above me has already said, and also:
- the whole "soft" and "smol" thing. Which, in one of my main fandoms, has seemingly lost all meaning tbh. To the point where it mostly feels like you're just trying to make the fact that you like a character/ship and draw art of them seem socially acceptable to the "all queer women should be soft pure wholesome butterflies" crowd. Which is a frankly ridiculous and a bit offensive POV that I hope ends soon.
Also I can't express my wtf enough at the fact that I've seen people talk about how "smol" a character played by an actress who is five foot six is. I'M that height. I'm taller than at least 75% of other women I meet. It's okay to like someone even if they're not "smol", fandom.
