It's 2025 and people are still talking about this like it must be one or the other and isn't obviously both?

90% hot men. 10% everything else.

Hmm, seems extreme. There are way more canons focused on male protags than female protags, and in most ensemble cast canons, the male characters are usually the leads and the main antagonists and developed more accordingly. Besides, it's often said development that makes the male characters 'hot' to fans, so it's not so neatly and cleanly separated out like that.

Some fandoms slashing male NPCs doesn't make the above generally untrue across all fandoms. If 90% of fandoms were slashing male NPCs with no canon personalities, I'd agree with you, but it's the other way around in my experience. Arthur/Eames from Inception was another big one but it stood out because it was an exception, not because it was the rule.

Not to mention that when you have female-dominated casts, you usually see a correspondingly large amount of F/F shipping for the same reason: they're the leads and get more screentime and development.

+1000 I did a small fact finding mission a few years ago and went to find the largest F/F fandoms on AO3. Almost all, if not every single one, of the top ten was a fandom with more female characters than male in the source material, and the female characters were more the focus in the source material.

ayrt and yeah, I'm in the Kpop Demon Hunters fandom and it's OVERWHELMINGLY F/F in spite of the canon M/F ship. Why? Because the movie focuses primarily on the girls and their relationships with each other and the male characters are much more in the background.

Looks like someone has never encountered harem anime or harem shows.

Most slash fans gravitate to slash for a mix of reasons. At this point, people who don't get that are being deliberately obtuse IMO. It's not that the don't get it, it's that they don't want to accept it. They only want to acknowledge what they consider to be annoying, shallow reasons for preferring slash, so they feel validated for being judgmental and self-righteous.

It's so they'll be validated as "good feminists" so nobody will notice they're shipping underdeveloped female characters because that's what's hot to them.
