Or when the bottom is written like a small child who's never had sex and doesn't know what a dick is. :/

Idk why equal-partnerships are such a turn-off for fandom, because I love me a mutually equal pair of characters, but almost every m/m ship I'm into has the fans create some weird-ass power-imbalance that doesn't actually exist. I guess it's what people like but I hate it, and hate seeing people be praised for their 'amazing characterization' when both characters only share the names from canon and that's it.

I’m not big into slash, but I’ve seen so many slash fans who like the idea of two men together because there’s less of the societal baggage/inherent power imbalance stuff that shows up in het fic, but on the other hand there’s this swathe of slash fandom that fucking loves “big powerful experienced man/small delicate innocent man” and I can only imagine the intra-fandom wars between the two camps. I’ve occasionally seen slash fans claim the first and love the second, which always makes me boggle.

This isn't contradictory at all

They like power imbalance tropes but they don't like the societal gender baggage that comes with heterosexual relationships
