Uh....fictional men/= real men, maybe? 'Cause mostly we *fix fictional men* in our fic to make them a whole hell of a lot less fucking annoying.

[feotakahari]

Isn’t that the parallel OP is stating, though? Incels also think their waifus lack the flaws of the real thing.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, there's a difference between "fixing" things like casual misogyny or views on gender and what incels do.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think either "incels" with waifus or their female equivalent are wrong in that sense though. If someone has a waifu or husbando because no real person is good enough and they're not out trying to date those real people who will only disappoint them, it's a win-win for everyone. Not everyone is meant to have an SO. That's not a flaw on their part.

[tabaqui]

......i dunno? The point, i guess, is that most people in fanfiction remove the flaws, which is why they *actually like them*.

It seems like this person is saying (to me) that 'crappy men in real life get bitched about but crappy fictional men get loved on', which...sure, to an extent. But a lot of the fictional men are 'fixed' or just never as crappy to begin with, which is why people tend to like them more than a lot of 'real' men.

One of us is missing something or i'm totally confused.

[(Anonymous)]

And then there are people like me who love crappy men *in fiction* and keep them crappy when we write them because being crappy is okay and can be interesting when you're not a real person who I, in real life, have to interact with.

[tabaqui]

Yes, exactly.

[feotakahari]

I interpreted as “stop acting like real-life men are all shit.” It’s an attitude I see sometimes from bisexuals who date men—they end up ranting about bisexuals who don’t date men, who expect them to agree that men are all bad.

[tabaqui]

Okay.
