134. I can sort of see your point, and it's a sad side-effect of the whole boy-girl divide.. It's everywhere, but in sexual things the gap is huge. *sigh* I admit, having a guy read my work is kind of daunting—they're closer to the source. What if a convention I'm fond of gets nixed? :\ But I feel the same way in other things where my knowledge isn't close enough to a mastery to suit me. It's only in this case that I can't get personal knowledge, and... yeah, awkward. And then there's the worry that they won't take me seriously, because I'm "just a girl". Enough guys IRL have pulled that card that even the risk of it makes me feel weird. Yaoi is supposed to be girl-safe. At least, in my head it is. I am a female in a female-empowered place, which tbh is a pretty damn rare thing to find IRL sometimes. It's comforting. The addition of a guy throws that balance off.
Really, it's all just reason piled on reason, and all of them have more to do with playground "we don't play with girls" (unstated: unless those girls act like "one of the guys") associations than anything consciously decided as an adult.
On the other hand, exposure is pretty much the only cure. There's no reason to feel awkward around guys, and female-friendly shouldn't mean male-unfriendly. We really don't need female-only or male-only things. It only causes problems, and reinforced real-life insecurities. (Is our safe space so delicate that even a single Y chromosome could damage it? I hope not, but sometimes I fear...)
tl;dr, response! What I do is just go "people=people" online and try not to think of gender too much. That seems to help. It may create sort of a strange mental image of the person based loosely on their name, unless I have something else to go on, but at least the whole gender issue is less of an issue.
135. That would be... well, interesting, to put it mildly. I could really do without Offler though. I think they still do human sacrifice. Eep!
160. A slasher who qualified for the Olympics. I feel obscurely proud. We are everywhere! :D Good luck!
168: ... What happened to the DBZ fandom when I discovered KH? Because... Well, Vegeta dominates from the bottom. It's all in the attitude—position is negotiable. Did that change when I moved from Toriyama to Nomura? Please tell me Goku still does that possessive little growl thing in fanfics. I ♥ that so hard.
I miss DBZ fandom so much. I wish I hadn't had to scroll past that pic so fast—not censored enough. (Really should stop reading F!S at work...) I'm kind of terrified of the movie. It's going to suck so, so, so hard, but I'm afraid newbies will find it bearable and a movie-fandom will be born and I'll have to hide in a corner clutching my printed-in-2000-DBZ-fanfic-collection and trying not to cry.
