I love genderswaps

[(Anonymous)]

My main interest in fanfic is seeing how characters adapt to situations. I like seeing them beaten, broken, taken apart, and watch them piece themselves back together. Toward that end, genderswap is high on my list.

It fascinates me to watch as the character is forced to respond accordingly to this completely unforeseen event. For all that we strive for equality, and gender-blindness, there is still a distinct difference between the male experience and the female experience. Seeing how particular characters react and adapt to the change, the expectations of their new role, the frustration and disappointment at having to change, the adaptation, the acceptance if permanent or the secondary adaptation when the proper sex is restored... It's not about "this female/male character would work better as a male/female", but "what would happen if this wrench got thrown into his/her life?"

I don't think it's any more offensive than any of the other things we do to characters for the sake of a story.

I didn't get that anyone said it was offensive. I see a lot of opinion up there, but hey! we read what we like.

AYRT

Eh, I can't say that anyone used the word itself, but it's 1 am and I'm blanking on a better word to use for "this bothers me/I hate it when..."

we read what we like

True, true. I wasn't expressing moral outrage or anything. I just felt like offering some kind of... something, in favor of the thing. 1 am >.< I'll sleep now.
