Seen how a lot of slash has one character being the "man" and the other being the "woman" with all that entails, I have to disagree.

Oh, and that's soooooo much worse than female characters having their canon personalities completely overwritten so they can play damsel-in-distress/girlfriend for some 1-dimensional male character in someone's shitty fic.

Except it isn't.

Both suck.

lol You do realize that the "woman" man in the relationship takes the place of this, right? The womanman is essentially that, only this damsel in distress has a penis.

OP is making it sound like this happens more often in slash than anything else. My point is that this is not the case.

(Anonymous) 2014-01-04 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, my "I have to disagree" above was to the fact that one can be by default better than the other because it contains less upsetting tropes, and my point was the same as yours: that upsetting tropes happens both in het and slash equally.

I haven't read a fic that features this trope in a long, long time. It's actually pretty easy to avoid inexperienced writing and naivety.

Actually, I see this veeery rarely in slash anymore.

Japanese doujinshi still promote this though.

+1.

Slash fandom has come a LONG way. Japanese doujin still promote it, I agree. But BL manga (original stuff) also has more diversity in dynamics now.
