It's called making a self insert

(Anonymous) 2012-09-21 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's probably right on the money. Depressing that their self-insert is never awesome and kickass like the original, and instead always needs saving though.

Reminds me of the way some people wrote genderbent Rorschach in Watchmen fandom.

I like 63!Rorschach!

Well. Some of the time anyways. ahem, +1?

I loved it when people basically drew regular ol' pug-faced Walter but added boobs. It was kinda cute in an...ugly pug kinda way.

Whoa hey, I invite you to check out the Watchmen fandom, since you obviously haven't seen much of it. We have tons of excellent fic featuring 63'd (and original flavour) Rorschach, Dan, Adrian, Laurie, Eddie, Jon, and the Minutemen. Even Twilight Lady! Rorschach alone being 63'd and then needing to be rescued is definitely not a trend. Come visit us, tell your friends!

When I read this I thought about Kingdom Hearts and how Roxas is always made into this ultra-femme, uke-y, prissy, over-emotional mess in fandom.

This makes me sad.

Moving on, do you want us to guess the fandom?

I'll go first. TF2?

(Anonymous) 2012-09-21 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
That's surprisingly close, but not quite. (I left the fandom out on purpose to see if there were any others that had this problem.)

(Anonymous) 2012-09-21 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
EVERY fandom full of manly men has this problem. They even do it to the shorter guy in Army of Two.

I'm pretty sure a lot of fandoms have this problem. However, I see it more as, "Kickass female in a show who has never been a damsel but has been a knight in shining armor is now a weak and pitiful thing that must be rescued again and again and again. Also, rape!"

They didn't have a female to do it to in your fandom so they gender swapped a dude.

But hmmm... next guess. BF3?

Even though I know that's not it at all, my brain somehow went to Uta no Prince-sama 8D Maybe because of him.

That seems to be a common practice in many shounen anime/manga fandoms. Not my thing, though, I don't care for genderbending at all.

[personal profile] fingalsanteater 2012-09-21 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Those sound like legit reasons to hate it, imo. I kind of hate gender swapping unless the whole cast is gender swapped, but ymmv on that.

(Anonymous) 2012-09-21 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Genderbending is my favorite sub genre but you need to find the right authors. rageprufrock, medie, blind-author and some other authors have an amazing way to show the character totally IC but don't forget to include the genderspecific changes.

Also... Teen Wolf? In the last time there are some horrible Girl!Stiles fic.

(Anonymous) 2012-09-21 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Do any of them write for vidya fandoms?

(Anonymous) 2012-09-22 12:18 am (UTC)(link)

Your comment reminded me that if only rageprufrock didn't hate Teen Wolf so much there might actually be awesome Girl!Stiles fic. although if i'm being honest, Stiles get's don-in-distress'd all of the time in fic anyways so

(Anonymous) 2012-09-22 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
So true. ;_; But still, there are two, three fics with a great Girl!Stiles. :)
streetcake: (HS- What the eff??)

[personal profile] streetcake 2012-09-22 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Man, sometimes it seems like people genderswap male characters to female characters for the sole purpose of having them get molested or victimized. Though passive female characters usually remain passive even when they're genderswapped. Hmm.

As someone who loves genderswitch -- it's not because I'm looking for het or trying to get more female representation. It's ... pretty much it's own kink.

This secret's image reminded me of my freshman year of high school, when I was in marching band and I was the one girl in the entire low brass (14 trombones, 4 baritones, and 7 tubas).

If you're talking about Kurapika then I fucking agree.
