Most shows have a majority male cast with male characters mostly in the spot light. If you look shows where there are prominent female characters fandom gives them a lot of attention. The problem is that there aren't a lot of shows like that.

This is true, although I think there are more shows with prominent female characters than you think. Slash fans are always going to flock to the male-dominated shows, but there's plenty of het dominated fandoms out there.

I've not found this to be the case the vast majority of the time. Sure, there are some people and smallish fandoms that develop around shows with strong female characters, but they pale in comparison to the fandoms for shows with strong male characters. And even in shows with three main characters, two male and one female, the m/m slash will 9 times out of 10 hugely eclipse either m/f pairing. There are strong, interesting female characters out there; however, fandom as a whole tends to either ignore those shows entirely or ignore the female characters in favor of the male ones.

DA

I'm not sure what you're saying here. There are a lot of huge het fandoms out there. I don't want to get into an argument about constitutes a "strong female character" exactly, but if you're saying het fandoms are always on the smallish side compared to slash fandoms, I would vehemently disagree.

There are more shows with prominent female characters out there than you think. Some slash fans only don't seem to realize that because they automatically seek out shows that look like this. And then complain there are never any good women and characters of color on tv.

Every single one of my shows has great women. Every one. And I don't look for representation in particular, I just stay away from shows that are advertised like the thing I linked above.

Nah.

Homestuck proves that uninteresting male characters will still get more shipping fanmaterials than interesting female ones.
