In many cases this is just categorically untrue. And even in the cases where it's partially true, this is surely the most judgmental, ungenerous, dickishly presumptuous way of interpreting what people are doing.

I get being annoyed when the majority of fandom sidelines yet another female character you like because they're all about that slash pairing. I do. But just as fandom isn't activism, sidelining female characters in order to focus one's fannish attention on male ones isn't social injustice, either.

AYRT is correct about this phenomenon with F/F ships to get the girl out of the way. I usually ship M/M juggernauts and regardless of whether or not I like the female character, I don't mind if fans don't write about her. But, the phenomenon happens because not enough of fandom will accept your statement that it's not social injustice not to write about her. You have to write about her even if you don't want to, or else you and by extension the fandom will get other fans going after you for being misogynists. It sucks, but it's what you have to do.

I think it happens in fandom in general but I don't think it's an accurate characterization of this fandom
