DA

If anything, it's the opposite. It's extra-humanizing. Giving a male character who's a stereotypical stoic macho guy some vulnerability and a wider range of emotions than the canon shows is making him more three-dimensional, not less.

...stoic macho guys are not the only guys woobified, idk why this is so focusing on that specifically. Any and all male characters including perfectly normal ones with personalities and emotions get woobified and turned into things that desperately need healing cock or whatever for the authors id

Like can we not pretend that isn't a thing, or that this is done for some weird selfless reason?

There's a difference between 'this character has a range of emotions and reacts to pain in a realistic manner' and 'this sponge full of tears'.

I'm talking about tear-sponges. Flattening a character's entire emotional range into a tear-sponge is dehumanising.

Woobies are the opposite of three-dimensional lmao

Honestly I don't know that there's much to choose between Manly Stoic McHugedick and Limpid Tears FitzBottom.

I've read plenty of fic that expanded on characters' emotional inner lives without woobifying anyone.

Up until recently my OTPs were all het, and it was still really obvious when a fic flew past "expand emotional range" and smacked into "fetishizing doe-eyed incompetence."

no, no it's not lmao, who on earth are you trying to fool? stop trying to make this out like some grand crusade because it just fucking isn't, good god.
