Transcript by OP

[fscom]

Whenever the conversation about how 'there's never been any popular femslash on Tumblr' I feel like I'm going crazy because I remember all the 2010s fandoms that were absolutely everywhere back in the day.

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you for making my secret!

It's still weird to see the same argument today, especially when it feels like people are purposely going to mainly male-featured fandoms and get mad at the lack of femslash there. Also been good to see femslash popularity from Wicked and K-Pop Demon Hunters.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, my experience has overwhelmingly been that when you have canons with female characters in prominent roles who have close relationships with other female characters, you get correspondingly large amounts of femslash. Likewise, I don't know why it surprises people when male-centric canons end up being primarily slash.

Like... duh?

[(Anonymous)]

+100

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, this!
There are a lot of f/f dominated fandoms, but some people just want to get mad

[(Anonymous)]

I'm always seeing this argument from people who are A) into femslash, but also B) in predominantly het or boyslash fandoms.

Like... no, you are not going to find any meaningful amounts of femslash in a fandom with 55,000 M/F fics out of 63,000 total. I'm sorry, I get that it's frustrating to find yourself stuck in a fandom where no-one shares your particular interest, but sometimes that's just the way it is.

[(Anonymous)]

Unrelated, this is somehow the first time I've seen someone specify "boyslash" and I'm going to start doing that now.

[(Anonymous)]

I have a fandom friend who's always reposting gripes that shows about groups of women still get more M/M than F/F. But I don't know how she'd know that, because she doesn't watch any such shows. If she does, she never talks about them or shares fanworks of them. All of her fandoms are sausagefests.

[philstar22]

OH man. Femslash was so popular in the Once Upon a Time fandom. And the Legend of the Seeker fandom. And the Rizzoli and Isles fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

Did...did we not see Korra/Asami, Bubblegum/Marceline, Ruby/Sapphire (their marriage at least) etc become canon??

[deleted_scenes]

I mean, Korrasami was literally the final 10 seconds of the series finale, and I say this as someone who picked up the loredrop of them writing letters back and forth to one another.

I guess, just because Korrasami is canon doesn't mean that there's any good, say, Azula/Mae or Katara/Azula fanfic, yaknow?

Says the lone Deadpool/X-23 shipper.

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't see Korrasami become canon. I saw two girls hold hands and look at each other. I've seen the same thing happen in countless other shows where one or both girls had boyfriends or husbands. Everyone who saw it become canon just had shipping goggles that coincidentally happened to be correct this time and only because the writers told them so after it happened.

[(Anonymous)]

tbf, I don't blame the writers for that one. They've been very open about how they wanted to make it much more obvious/explicit (IIRC they wanted to have a kiss) but were told no by the network.

[(Anonymous)]

+1 people forget what censorship was like back then.

[(Anonymous)]

How could they have been open about it, they didn't even think about making it "canon" until the last episode was already in production lmao

Any talk about censorship is a lie. You can tell because they barely bothered to do the bare minimum of showing them being friends after the first season. They didn't care about Korra and Asami's relationship at all until they heard fans wanted it to be a ship.

[(Anonymous)]

There's lots of popular femslash on tumblr. However, it only counts as Progressive Feminist Fandom if its popularity obliterates every other M/M ship.

[(Anonymous)]

That's because it's a lie, and the fans who began the spread of it know that it's a lie. Their goal is to eventually eliminate all shipping that contains male characters. They think the best way to do that is to make anyone who talks about a ship that isn't femslash think they're contributing to a problem, and convince them to make up for it with all the femslash shipping that totes never existed before.

[(Anonymous)]

This is conspiratorial thinking, tbh. Those types are often just discourse addicts who barely like yuri themselves or support fanworks in their so-called fandoms.

AYRT

[(Anonymous)]

It doesn't have to be a conspiracy. There's no complex planning involved. All you have to do is make an easy post once in a while and watch it spread on its own because of fans who innocently do just want more of what they like and really believe other kinds of shipping are a threat if someone said so, because nobody would just go on the internet and tell lies!

[(Anonymous)]

No? The people that I've seen doing this the most are actually hetshippers and they complain even louder about M/M. I say this as someone who primarily writes F/F! They've also come after femslashers for not matching the main female character with the main male character who she "deserves".

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, I have seen a little of that too, but it's a lot less common than it used to be. And het shippers virtually never attack F/F.

[(Anonymous)]

I've seen self-proclaimed F/F shippers who do this, but their "shipping" is only in theory. The reality is their feeds are full of finger wagging discourse about AO3 stats and internalized misogyny, but they don't write or comment on other's fics, they don't give recommendations, and they're antis. So they're basically in the "discourse" fandom. Block 'em on sight.

[(Anonymous)]

You got me, I'm the evil lesbian who wants to eliminate all male shipping forever.

[(Anonymous)]

lol based?
