I'm a switch lover so can't stand when fandom decides X Character is going to be a bottom.

[(Anonymous)]

You're absolutely correct but top vs bottom wank is eternal.

[(Anonymous)]

Ah that's because C-fandoms are very, very rigid about their top/bottom dynamics for a ship to the extent that even some western fans tend to fall in line with the status quo and woe betiede anyone who differs. It's very much like the anime m/m ships of yore that used to have the ship name showing who was topping and how much wank there was within the same shipper-base about which version was 'correct'.

I personally think it's silly to argue about in general since it very much a personal preference thing, like what you like, write what you want to write, etc. But some people can't and have to come up with 'reasons' why it's 'OOC' for X to top/bottom when really it's actually about personal tastes and there's nothing wrong with having a preference, just don't yell at other fans if they have a different one. But yanno, fandom, lol.

[(Anonymous)]

There's plenty of people who are down with them switching or LWJ being on bottom, but I've noticed that tends to be mostly western fans and/or fans who mostly play in the live-action version of things. As another anon in this thread noted, some cultures tend to view these things much more strictly.

Also, the author said that only LWJ was allowed to top, and a lot of them like to justify their preferences by saying they're being respectful to the author's wishes. Of course, the author also said WWX and LWJ weren't allowed to be intimate with other characters in fanworks, but somehow that wish is rarely mentioned, from what I've seen.

Not my cuppa, but what do I care? I just won't read it, problem solved. I'm glad the fics are there for people who like it.

Now, if someone was trying to make a meta claiming it using textual sources then we gonna have a fight because the text absolutely does not say that.

[(Anonymous)]

Sure, but isn't fandom also about aggressively arguing that your headcanon is objectively correct?

[(Anonymous)]

My dear secret writer, people have been insisting that their fave is totally and only a bottom for at least twenty-five hundred years. It's not a new trend.

I love this. I get this with songs sometimes too. In fact, Adele's "Hello" evokes TFA-era Han and Leia for me.

[(Anonymous)]

When I hear it, I think about Elizabeth Comstock and Booker DeWitt having an intense, slightly screwed up affair before discovering the truth about who they really are. After a period of rage and grief, Elizabeth asks him to stay, but he's so disgusted with himself that he goes off, looking for a way to die. A couple of years on, he goes overseas and manages, in spite of his age, to get himself into WWI, and meets his doom in the trenches.

This is all to say that it's a great song for inspiring thoughts about doomed ships.

I think I prefer your story to mine, though. Ugh, man, it's amazing how much Han/Leia still gets to me after all this time. Everytime I watch 'Empire,' I am rapt for that kiss. It makes me feel the same way today as it did when I was a kid.

[(Anonymous)]

What a great ship for that song!

These are people who have not yet discovered that being disgusted is not a moral position. I'm disgusted by tofu, but I wouldn't say it was an evil food and people who eat it are evil. Yet for some reason, when someone is disgusted by emetophilia suddenly the people who write and read it are evil and something is wrong with them. No, it's just not to your taste, my child. Learn the difference.

Puritanism in young fandoms is weird. People are shaming others ledt and right. Back in my day the teens pretended to be adults and were as toxic as the rest of us, no 'defending bad things by depicting them' bullshit. Idk. We were humbler.

I never even understood the point of the car flying at the end of Grease. It's not in the play.

Listen, I don't like her either, but removing books from shelves is not how we solve anything.

Options that aren't out of the censorship playbook: put them at a discount under a "craft night!" heading, for like paper mache or something. Or have staff anti-recommendations like they have staff recommendations (man I would LOVE to hear why staff members hate a book, just as much as why they love a different. PLEASE give me all the petty author beef.)

What fandom drama are you sick of hearing about?

Top/Bottom drama is so boring.

Mwahaha. Only second time this has happened for me. Now I got to change my starter word again. :(

[msilverstar]

I think it's sad when there are rigid roles, rather than revisiting the pairings with flexibility.
