Re: Fandom secrets you're too lazy to make...

I think I understand this. There are definitely things I have a hair-trigger Do Not Want reaction to simply because they feel so pervasive and inescapable. Stuff like "Character didn't mean to get pregnant but decides to keep the baby." There's nothing inherently wrong with that trope, but up until the last couple years it was basically the only way the "knocked up" story line ever went. Each time I encountered it, I disliked it a little bit more, until I got to the point where just the very thought of it pisses me off big time.

Or the way rape is so often treated like, "It is the Very Worst Thing that can happen to a woman and if it happens to her she will be Broken." Again, it's not wrong to frame rape as horrible and devastating, but the fact that this is almost the only way rape is ever addressed in fiction makes me haaaaate most instances of rape in fiction.

It's the sense that people believe there's only one way to write a thing (i.e. female characters must always be deeply influenced and shaped by romantic love) that gets under my skin.

Yeah, those are other very good examples of things under the same umbrella of what bothers me so much. Female characters are so strongly constructed around who is attracted to them. In a recent example, even Arya wasn't allowed to escape being tied to a romantic/sexual subplot, and that gutted me in a really weird way. Of all the characters, I thought maybe she might be the one allowed to stand on her own, so it was... rough, to lose that.

I completely agree
