How DARE You Relate to Men!
51The outrage towards AO3 having way more yaoi fanfictions continues to be even more ridiculous.
"If what emotionally connects with you is male pain, male power, male pleasure, over and over, maybe ask why that's the mirror that moves you."
Do not assume malice when it can be reasonably explained by horny, although horny people can be stupid. This has nothing to do with internalized misogyny. Straight women just like men, and they like seeing really attractive men play with each other.
"If desire is shaped in a misogynistic culture, then misogyny is the issue."
I think you're confusing being a heterosexual and being a misogynist.
"My heartbreak is for us, for the stories we refuse to imagine about ourselves."
Do you not hear how utterly narcissistic that sounds? It's all me. The stories should be all about me. It's all me, me, and me with this nonsense, and you wonder why people are tired of it.
"How does 'build an archive to escape the way media ignores us' translate to 'built to protect media representation?'"
You are so utterly delusional you don't even realize that those two things are saying the same thing. You escape the way the media ignores you by writing fanfictions, and thus, protecting media representation in an entirely different medium, but now, you're complaining that the very same medium is not featuring the right kind of stories on the Top 100.
You're turning actual freedom of expression by women and for women into an excuse to push your political agenda by guilt-tripping people with nonsensical morality and it's all based on a popularity stat of fictional characters because your kind of stories aren't popular enough. Utterly deranged.
