This seems to be making a whole hell of a lot of assumptions that I'm not sure are warranted

(Anonymous) 2020-04-09 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I think OP has conflated a few different groups together.

(Anonymous) 2020-04-08 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not going into this shitstorm

(Anonymous) 2020-04-08 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
OP It says a lot about you to imply that sex appeal is the only honest reason to like female characters, lmao

(Anonymous) 2020-04-08 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Lol right?

(Anonymous) 2020-04-09 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, that's what y'all say is the only reason women like male characters, so fair's fair.

(Anonymous) 2020-04-09 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, that's literally why so many people ship white on white m/m with boring ass characters who have no depth. Literally they attach to white side characters, ship them and make them fuck because they find it hot.

Was this secret not just written by a pissy man? It reads like it.

(Anonymous) 2020-04-08 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't see how you figure

(Anonymous) 2020-04-08 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah it's a fangirl trying to justify her internalized misogyny with the narrative that it's only posers who don't prefer white cock over everything else

(Anonymous) 2020-04-08 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
...okay.

(Anonymous) 2020-04-08 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, yes, the old "doing it for the brownie points" diversion.

Though I have to wonder, since the Brownies were trying to teach little girls how to be responsible, skilled adults who were a credit to their community... What the fuck is supposed to be wrong if they are doing it for the brownie points?

Define an admirable way to behave. Try to behave in that way. Harm no-one!

Get mocked by someone who feels implicitly judged and has no better way to deal with those feelings than lashing out and telling them their reasons aren't "pwure" enough.

you guys are getting brownie points for stanning female characters?

(Anonymous) 2020-04-09 11:05 am (UTC)(link)
I know, right? Where do I sign up?

(Anonymous) 2020-04-09 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
Oh jfc this sounds like those 'you only like characters of color for brownie points' kinds of people, as if liking FC's or CoC gets you anything other than MISERY in *most fandoms.

... yeah, there's a lot of truth to this, because I know a number of people who do exactly that. They claim to love female characters and want more media with female characters! ... but then they bash female characters non-stop and complain about how female characters are so badly written, and meanwhile they're shipping the side dudes who barely have any characterization to their name.

At that point, I'm sorry, it's not that the female characters are badly written, it's that you're only interested in cock but can't admit it.

Like to thank all of you for proving that you use your "love" for female characters to justify your hatred of real live women. <3

Deliberately misreading any opinion that does not perfectly echo your prejudices is no way to demonstrate anything, sunshine. It's alright. You'll learn how to think at some point. Bless!

Sorry no one took your bait, I guess?

Re: OP

For real, the responses kinda threw me, but honestly the secret is written in a way that's kind of difficult to understand. Hell, maybe I don't understand it! But I think I get what you mean, OP.

A particular female character sprung to my mind from a fandom I passively keep up with. Her fans will admit her writing is garbage, but they're also just as quick to claim internalized misogyny or that you're just trying to get her out of the way of the more popular slash ship if people who are not fans of hers voice their complaints.

It's like you're supposed to love her despite the writing and the only reason you don't is because misogyny according to them? It's bizarre.

Re: OP

(Anonymous) 2020-04-09 11:47 am (UTC)(link)
I can think of at least a couple of fandoms where it might be true that people claiming bad writing as a reason they dislike a female character might ring hollow—because all the characters are badly written, and yet somehow, they love the male characters but never the female ones.

disagreement isn't hatred.
