Transcript by OP

[fscom]

My interaction with fandom has almost entirely been in spaces dominated by women. This occasionally ends up with me forgetting men frequent these places too, and coming across them often feels like a jump scare.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh word, I'm kind of the same and not in a 'men can't be in women-fandoms' type way, but I do tend to assume that most fandomy folks are women so when I discover that someone is a dude I am surprised for a moment. It's like a 'oh yeah dudes can be into this too' even if it is somewhat less common.

[kaijinscendre]

Same! My co-mod on reddit had to tell me he was a guy because my brain defaults everyone to a woman. xD

[(Anonymous)]

This was my experience in the 2000s, but now I encounter so many people in fandom with male pronouns that it doesn't faze me.

[(Anonymous)]

I tend to assume gender based on what fannish activity.

M/M or F/F in general? F
Het fanfic? F
Het porn art/doujin? M
Fangames and mods? M... unless its romance focused VNs then its back to F again
Models and mechanical crafts? M
Raging on game forums? M

[(Anonymous)]

Really? Most of the F/F fans I encountered were men.

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt

I think this is very fandom specific, some of my fandoms have had mainly women writing f/f, others have had a mix, a few have mostly had men writing it.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

Along with the specific fandom, it might also depend on the site. I see a lot of male F/F on imgur, but mostly female F/F fans on tumblr.

See, mine have been fairly mixed. Back in the day it was mostly female-majority fandoms. But these days I'm more active in Star Wars and Star Trek, which have a much larger male fanbase. Tolkien fandom is still more female, though I'd say more men than the Potter fandom had.

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry for the occasional jump scares, OP.

I've been in mostly female-dominated or fairly egalitarian fan spaces myself, while not being personally female, so I get it-- the times I've been in fandom spaces dominated by (straight) men I've just found it boring at best, even though my best friend is a straight guy and we have several fandoms in common. But like... online, the only times I'm in a male-dominated fandom space is if it started out as a female-dominated fandom space and everyone transitioned, you know?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm male and get a bit surprised when I come across other men in several of my fandoms tbh, I just meet so many more women usually.

[(Anonymous)]

I've been in a lot of fandoms (in the fic-writing part of fandom mostly), and probably 95% of the time when someone is a guy, if they're not a cis bi or gay guy, they turn out to be a trans guy.

I have no opinions about that or anything, it's just kind of interesting.
