Unpopular opinion: I'm a gay cis-woman and don't fucking care about the genders of the characters. What I care about is that their relationship/love doesn't advertise gender roles.

So I'd be completely fine with f/m if it wouldn't always rehash the same trite tropes. The same goes for f/f or m/m. If it has the taller/physically stronger/non-crying character be "the man/the butch/the seme" and the shorter/physically weaker/emotional partner be "the woman/the femme/the uke" I won't touch it with a ten foot pole.

But when it's switched around in a somewhat realistic manner I'm all over it.

I always find I'm sort of alone in my corner of fandom.
Mostly when gender tropes are switched around it ends up being porn/fetish material (like femmedom, calling a guy "bitch" and "pussy", etc.)
That's also not my cup of tea.

Blah blah! End of rant.

No one cares

da - i've decided to call folks you like 'stains: an asshole who stops by only to leave a little undesirable something on the undies of the internet.

[wauwy]

.... you tried.

ayrt

Obviously you do

[insanenoodlyguy]

you might not care, but you care that they care.

That's not the same thing, but it ends up working out as if it was.

[fuchsiascreams]

When I don't care about something, I generally ignore it. I don't go out of my way to whine about how much I don't give a shit.

Same here. For a long time I thought that I only liked slash (because the fandoms I was in had very well written slash fics without the usual ~yaoi~ tropes) while I hated most het ships, both canon and fanon. Until I realised that I didn't hate het, I just hated that 95% of all het ships, whether canon or not, are cliché crap and that I actually like het when it's as well written as the slash in my fandoms.

Yeah, I'm in a similar vein. I read any type of pairing but I always turn away from stuff that looks like it's going to follow sexiest/homophobic stereotypes. (Certain fandoms are better than others when it comes to these things.)

It's all about if I think the characters have chemistry or a special connection.

Read Martha Wells' Raksura books. She's doing some AMAZING things with gender roles. (And though the main relationship ends up being m/f, characters are canonically bisexual, with varying degrees of page attention paid.) Also they're just excellent books to begin with!

I'm a pan cis-woman who writes slash primarily, occasionally het, rarely femmeslash. And I enjoy power exchange in my relationships, so sue me. But I don't do it on the basis of height. My favorite character to write, who is the little black dress of his fandom, I write as either the top or bottom (or dom or sub or seme or uke, you pick your terms) depending on who I'm writing him with and my mood at the time. I'm interested in exploring the characters in relationships and in all kinds of circumstances.

Not sure what fandom you're in, OA, but I bet there are writers who are less hidebound to the typical tropes than you realize.

As for the OP, they need to grow up. Fandom doesn't owe them the fanfic they like.
