I think you're overthinking it, OP.

C-dramas are a new, big thing for Western fandom. Genderbends are a common fandom practice. Of course there's going to be a lot of them.

There's also very few canon female characters in these series, I've noticed, so I'm not surprised there's a lot of genderbending.

[(Anonymous)]

Out of curiosity, what previous fandoms have you been in/seen that you feel have had lots of genderbends? Or any specific characters?

Off the top of my head?

The Hobbit - (Bilbo Baggins as a Plucky Girl Going On Adventures)
MCU - I've seen some really fun Always-A-Girl Tony Stark, with either M or always-F S Rogers
Hamlet
The Count of Monte Cristo (that was a professional novel, mind)
The Musketeers...

and a few c-dramas.

Oh yes, and - this is a bit complicated because canonically for them gender is a choice so it's less of an AU than most - Good Omens tv fandom is *all over* fem-presenting Crowley and Aziraphale

AYRT

See, I was real intrigued when the hobbit movies came out and the always-a-girl Bilbo stories seemed so common on AO3! I pulled some numbers in 2017/2019, and Bilbo had a genderswap rate a little above 7% in fic, compared to a "baseline"/"normal" genderswap rate of 0.5%-0.7% (baseline calculated from pulling the same data from some "comparable" characters/fandoms). Maybe I should update and expand that some...

Ooh, fascinating.

Yes, you should totally write that up.
