Re: What trends in your current fandom do you just not understand?

Wild guess that people into danmei for the plots aren't going to be wildly interested in things like Gossip Girl, or Euphoria, or She-Ra. Or there are also fans who are interested in lots of genres and do write femslash for those shows, you just don't know it because you don't know anything about them other than what they do in the Heaven's Official fandom, specifically.

Someone makes a comment about this every time, and I'd like you to please get it in your heads that wanting more women in the genres you like is not a bad thing, and any time fans are asked to search outside of those genres for representation, that's a sign of failure on the part of the writers of the genre, not the fans.

There are wuxia shows that do have female characters, though.

And I'd like it to please get it into your head that there are shows and novels in the genres they like that either prominently feature women or are all out GL so it's a failure on the side of those "fans" to not seek them out instead of whining that the sausage fest BL novels don't have enough girls to ship. That's like going to a baseball game and whining that the players don't play enough basketball.
