personal least favourite media criticism experience has got to be when people are like it's so great that the writers don't rely on sexual abuse/assault as an easy shortcut to actual character or narrative development and you're like sure i guess and then they're like i mean it's just so gratuitous and unnecessary, you'd have to be some kind of sick pervert who hates women to rely on something like that, honestly unless you're making something About sexual violence i don't think it should exist at all, it's just lazy writing, and you're like oh this never had anything to do with caring about victims for you did it

in a similar vein, when people recommend a work on the basis that it contains no themes of sexual violence and there's blatant subtext that suggests otherwise but now you know if you point it out you're going to be seen as a disgusting predator and fun ruiner and expected to submit a comprehensive disclosure of your own personal history of abuse for review to determine whether you're "allowed" to talk about it

also we have GOT to collectively come to terms with the fact that me or any other stranger online disliking or even making fun of something you like is not saying “no fun allowed” “no one can ever enjoy this” you have simply got to grow a spine and be able to like the shit you like. you don’t even have to defend it! like 90% of the media i really enjoy is divisive and half my friends actively hate it. i really don’t give a fuck though because i like it. you can write whatever you want! you’re allowed! even if it’s MY least favorite genre or style of writing and i have active distaste for it!

I love characters who would die for each other but will not, under any circumstances, communicate a single honest feeling.

"You only like this character because she's a woman!" okay and you hate her because she's a woman, knowing that she has all the traits you would enjoy in a male character.

this fic is so good i hope i write it

I just love it when things are earnest like everyone get more earnest now

you people will make anybody a daddy dom it’s so scary
