Transcript by OP

[fscom]

I disagree that large age gaps in relationships are inherently toxic. Large age differences are my favourite dynamic for too many reasons to list here.

That being said, media doesn't do them very well. The younger party (and it's usually M/F) is often presented as having codependency or daddy issues, while the older figure is usually a loser, a wish fulfilment fantasy, and/or cheating on his wife. (Remadora on the left just wasn't handled right, though.)

I think people's complaints re: this trope's ubiquity are because of this issue. I'd sell my soul for an age gap couple in canon done right.

S!B: I know I shouldn't expect anything different, but the correlation between these pairings and daddy dom in fic is a personal tragedy.

[ID: There is a promotional shot of Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks from the Harry Potter films to the left of the secret. Above them are the words "seriously where was the chemistry here." End ID.]

I don't think I've ever seen someone write Remadora to not be dull.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel that. There's two anons here on FS that I'm fairly sure I recognize week to week based on their (seemingly?) distinct writing styles.

[mishey22]

Damn, Case. Dis early

[(Anonymous)]

It's almost always younger woman/older man presented in media too, rarely ever younger man/older woman. Whenever younger man/older woman does get a chance of being explored it's typically some kind of teacher or MILF fetish ala high school or college comedies.

[(Anonymous)]

The whole topic - age difference - just exhausts me too much to talk about. It's just... Everyone just be chill, for Chrissake.

[(Anonymous)]

It can be well done but doing it well requires writing it in a way that's not very tropey imo

[case]

The TBC launch calls...

[(Anonymous)]

if I recognize who made a secret, it's not my business

What are your favorite redemption arcs/stories in media?

[(Anonymous)]

Inspired by today's Secret #2.

[(Anonymous)]

It's a great arc. It's a fantastic arc. People just write it badly.

[(Anonymous)]

Unfortunately it's now everywhere, both on Reddit and outside of it. Much of online fandom in 2021 just feels like hating on other fans for sport as opposed to loving a franchise, presumably stemming from spoiled brat behavior combined with a lack of empathy.
