"Fanbrat" threw me because I remember it from one specific Livejournal community I used to belong to, and one member there in particular who was a Saint Seiya fan. The only thing that makes the secret clash with what I remember of her is that she wasn't a het-only shipper.

That whole community had some unfortunate, though common at the time, views on shipping and female characters, though, that I also see reflected in this secret. It really does look like it time-travelled, with the use of "fanbrat" and undertones of "Female characters are allowed to be feminine and if you criticize a feminine female character's writing you're a misogynist that hates femininity!" And not in the secret per se, but there was also a lot of "It's different for anime because did you know that Japanese culture, unlike Western culture, RESPECTS feminine women?!"

AYRT, yeah, as someone who lurked anime fandoms on LJ back then, this secret sounds very familiar to someone that frequented some of my fandoms. They weren't a het-only shipper, but had similar feelings about female characters and femininity. Ergh.
