Re: Famous Wanks You've Participated In

[stainless]

Ehhh. There was a racefail wank that wasn't about A:tLA but rather some book that had a Black centaur or something in it. I wasn't a part of that directly, but there was a spinoff wank about Always Rape or Kill Off Yer Lesbians that metastatized from it among my friends.

At exactly the wrong time, because I was finishing a novel I was working on at the time, the big climactic ending of which involved, yep, one of the two women being threatened with rape (and her female partner saving the day and killing the creep -- but then getting in serious trouble for "murder" and so still having to deal with shitty consequences.) I'd planned the story to end that way from the beginning, so it felt REALLY WEIRD to read people talking all over the place about how that was a creepy trope and people who wrote "to it" were BAD BAD WRONG BAD NO WHY DO BAD THINGS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO THE LESBIANS OHGOD?!?!?? (Because they're the protagonists, and the story needed a plot?)

I remember sitting at my computer thinking "...you're gonna HATE Chapter 23, then. Do I get a pass if I'm a byke myself? FML."

I agree that OBVIOUSLY bad things are going to happen to the protagonist, otherwise what kind story would that be? (usually a boring one)

BUT I did read something recently about the portrayal of gay and lesbian characters in movies that relates to what you are saying. Something about how for a long time, gay chars were typecast as villains. After a while, TPTB realized that was a little....bad. So instead of gay=villain, they started including more gay characters that were just side parts. This intersected unfortunately with another plot device--especially prevalent in horror movies--of killing off every character except the protagonist (and occasionally the love interest), OR in specific sub-genres, raping non-protagonist women. Since gay and lesbian characters are STILL so very rarely the main character, this leads to an unpleasant result: gay characters, especially in horror movies, are basically always going to die. (at least, in American cinema. I don't see many non-Engish films, so I don't know how similar the situations are on that front.)

It's pretty much a step-by-step repeat of how the portrayal of African-Americans in film changed over time. (Once again, only drawing on my admittedly lacking knowledge of the AMERICAN film industry.)
