Honestly, it's kinda funny, because as someone who exclusively ships f/f and only cares about female characters, I have managed to carve out a little fandom space (on discord) in which everyone only cares about their f/f ships and their show and nobody ever actually brings up anything negative connected to 'there's too little femslash' 'm/m or m/f shippers are evil'. I didn't realize how rare and glorious that was until I ventured out into a different (general fic writer) discord, talking about writing only f/f or gen about female characters and immediately getting the 'oh, as a fellow f/f shipper/writer, the lack of f/f is so infuriating' from at least two different people. I genuinely did a double take, because I just hadn't heard anything like that in over a year. Apparently, I have found the f/f shipper bubble (there's about 20-30 active people in the f/f focused discords I am in and there's all ages, between 17 and 51) where f/f shippers who only care about their ship(s) go. It's honestly so nice and such a stark reminder that it's really rare when I come to places like that writer discord or here and see that it's really not the norm.

But yeah, it's possible. Not to go 'not all femslashers' but there ARE places were this doesn't happen and people are just genuinely happy to ship their little ships (even oftentimes writing 'problematic' or 'dark' fic for them with no one batting an eye*) and not venture out into the big bad world only to complain about it.

*Actually, I wrote a tentacle porn (all f/f) foursome and had one younger person say they don't understand what people see in tentacles, but they were very nice about it and listened to other people explain what they like about tentacles, so...

DA but I think this is the issue with a lot of "where is the X?" stuff in fandoms - It's all designated to private Discord servers and I often have no idea where to find them or how to get in. Joining servers full of strangers is awkward, I do much better when invited by someone I know, but often finding someone I know is hard. When it comes to certain fandom niches I'm into, finding Discords for it was pure luck. But I don't blame people for having these spaces invite-only because I know if a server like that was public the Twitter discoursers would make it toxic. Alas.
