I love this. It's like scene kid meets professional business woman but extra thot.

I remember seeing those back in the 70's!

Can't agree, sorry. I do literally mean cishet girls here; they're fetishizing an identity that doesn't belong to them in any way just so they get "internet points." Especially since they tend to be the ones who yell at "fujoshi" for fetishizing gayness; like what?

DA

Do you know what "trying out" means?

Sometimes cishet girls think they might be gay men. Sometimes they discover they're wrong. Finding out you were wrong about yourself doesn't mean you were "faking."

Thiiiiiss!

Whichever part seems more scary when I'm home alone

Bet OP is a straight white male.

A 40-something lady in my fandom with an unhappy marriage wrote a weirdly flirty, cougar-ish bio for her FFnet profile. I don't know how many 20-something straight men she hoped to attract on there, but it was super cringey like something you'd expect from a middle-aged 50 Shades fan.

I thought the problem was that the cishet women present themselves as cis gay men to gain credibility. Not people exploring if they're trans gay men.

I get that they identified as cishet at that time, but like, how do you know that they actually were cishet?

I don't know, man, it just seems to me like, with all of that stuff, a lot of those people probably were trans and didn't know how to identify it or acknowledge it or deal with those feelings and issues - or, especially back in the Older Times of the Internet, didn't really know what the whole deal with being trans was in the first place.

It's the same thing with people who used to pretend to be girls on MMOs, back in the day - it seems to me that a lot of those people, not all of them, but a good number of those people probably were trans.

I think the argument is that acting like a cis gay man is probably the kind of thing that would appeal to someone generally experimenting with putting on masculinity, and so for that reason, it would probably naturally appeal to a lot of baby trans men.

sa

I'm more familiar with the scandals of cishet women writing and speaking with the authority and identiry of a cis gay man in pro m/m novels though, not fandom.

That's a fair point tbh, it seems like that would probably be a very different situation

It bothered me a little bit, but it also bothered me that Vanya was being willfully blind about him. So I was pretty torn.

Mainly, I think what Alison was doing wasn't the same, at that point, because she wasn't actually forcing her own will onto Vanya. She was being nosy and a little insensitive maybe, but that's about it.

But then later she definitely DID try to force her own will onto Vanya, in the worst possible way, and that was tremendously fucked up. And yeah you're right; the scene where she tries to use her powers against Vanya, "for her own good," is very controlling in an "I know best" way.

I suppose part of what makes me forgive Alison a little more, even though what she does is so horrible, is that she knows her power is wrong and is trying really hard not to use it. And when she does fuck up (big time) and try to use it on Vanya, she does it in a moment of near-panic, where she doesn't really have time to think things through. And then she seems to recognize that she fucked up almost immediately afterwards, and feel remorse. None of which is true for Luther when he makes controlling decisions that affect all of them.

Also, Luther enforces his decisions on everyone. There's no democracy, no equality in it. It doesn't seem to matter how many of them disagree with him; he's right and they're wrong.

NAYRT

Wow this is the most bizarrely hostile and rude reaction, holy crap. i dont completely agree with ayrt, but their opinion was civil and well worded. You opinion was uncivil and didnt even try to engage with what they said. So unless you want points for being a jerk, idk what you were going for here.

God, this. All of this.

I'm not getting this community on my reading page because all the posts seem to be dated a few days ago. Anybody else having a problem?

(Please forgive me if this was covered in a previous post but I didn't see it.)

Can't speak for OP, but I'm a lesbian and I more than halfway agree with them. *shrugs*

Owen Hunt

Congratulations on post 4500!

Not AYRT, but I think the point is that a lot of people hate him. The fact that a lot of people love him doesn't negate the fact that a lot of people hate him.

Yeah, you're also picking the cherries from the cake and deliberately forgetting the whole "face looks like it was put together in a hurry" part.

Her features are individually pretty, but she's not particularly attractive when they're put together. Like, her nose is pretty on it's own, but it's too small/big/narrow/wide for the rest of her face. Her lips are also pretty, but same problem.

DA

Jesus Christ, reading more and more into just how much Disney owns is downright horrifying.

This. OP has to be a straight white male, they can't seriously be this deluded or clueless about how fandom actually is.
