The same goes for making the "bottom" skinnier/smaller and/or more ~emotional.

[(Anonymous)]

HONESTLY!

I already have an issue with deciding that a character being skinny/more emotional makes them The Bottom. I've had to disengage with the fandom for one of my favorite things ever just because of people who are AGGRESSIVE about how the skinnier half of the main ship MUST be a bottom, could NEVER top, and is just a NERVOUS UWU BABY-- never mind that he's actually normally very confident and self-assured and take-charge, because he's skinny he's a bottom and because he's a bottom he's weepy and emotional at all times, and to suggest otherwise can get you dogpiled.

Yeesh, it definitely goes both ways* and is annoying regardless.

* As do my OTPs in my fics because I hate strict top/bottom dynamics anyway. But I do love subverting the fandom "consensus", sometimes simply out of spite.

[(Anonymous)]

Uuuugh, I hate that shit so much.

[(Anonymous)]

Ugh, this pisses me off so much.

OMG! I'm okay with skinnier/smaller in context, but i DESPISE the 'emotional' part.
So. Fucking. Much.

[(Anonymous)]

This is why my primary ship is great. I mean, sure, the one most often put as 'bottom' is five foot three, and the other half of the ship is nearly a foot taller, but that doesn't make the bottom all... ukefied and emotional. He's a right rude little shit.

[tabaqui]

My favorite kind.
I like a bottom (though i like switching most of all) that will tell the top to shut the fuck up and fuck them, that will get physical and handsy, that will tell people to fuck off, to quit doing that thing they don't like, all that.

Steve Rogers pre-serum and spoiling for a fight is like - my catnip, heh.

I dislike the smaller basically being put into the "emotional, blushing weak and feminine" roll because that's what top and bottom means to some people I guess. But I do like the smaller being the bottom for aesthetic reasons and because I like it when someone is both psychically and mentally controlled by the other character in dom/sub situations. Which almost all my NSFW writing veers into whether I plan to or not.

But there's difference I think between someone that chooses the top and bottom based on their subjective preferences they're aware of and someone who chooses based off stereotypes and whatnot and it's always obvious which is which even just based off the writing most times.

I also ship characters with multiple others and will pick and choose based off that. Maybe character A is a top with character B but they're a bottom with character C and a switch with character D and...so on and so forth. Some characters I can see with any and all characters in any and all situations and positions (M!Robin from FE: Awakening is forever my ship with anyone and everyone in any number of combinations) while others I'll just get really set in seeing them a particular way. And it really just comes down to preference and it's sort of the same thing to me as when you're creating your own characters and there's just a detail about them that comes to you and regardless of how inconsequential it is to be so adamant about it you can't really force yourself to imagine then any other way.

I'm also a big fan of switch-but-refers-to-top Astolfo. And he's someone who can successfully pass as a girl so...I think to me it has more to do with personality sometimes to and what I just think each character would be comfortable with or into while other people usually base it off of what they would want to see regardless of character.
