If I'm writing a love story with two men, I should not be forced to change one of those men, into a woman.

You're using that example again. I NEVER said you should.

If people want to read stories just for enjoyment, then good for them. That's their prerogative. As for myself, I read with a critical eye. I think about what works and what doesn't work. I think the written word is meant to be critiqued.

It's an easy example to use, but think about Twilight. It's a problematic book, and Edward's relationship with Bella is very abusive. Did I enjoy it when I read it? Sure. But I also liked reading essays pointing out the issues with the story.

If something offends me, I don't just stop reading. I ask why it offends me. I ask why it's problematic. You act like I'm attacking you for writing an m/m story. I'm not. I just disagree with your opinion that we shouldn't delve into the social implications of what we read.

""As for myself, I read with a critical eye. I think about what works and what doesn't work. I think the written word is meant to be critiqued.""

...and that's just fine. However that's not how everyone reads a story.

I used the example I did to make a point. Say I had a m/f relationship and due to that being, well, problematic in some circles, I was being persuaded to change the relationship to m/m.

Would that be seen as good change, or a bad change.

A bad change because you're being pressured. It's not what you want, the outcome isn't the point.

There is a reason why I am a fan of How To Be A Fan of Problematic Things.

Oh, you're a superior sort of reader. Well, lah di da.
