Huh

Wha

chapter 10 lets goooo

Boober walks into the room holding a pie that looks like a scab and smells like rotting meat and sets it on the table.

"It's kiwi and sweet potato pie. Encased in jello. Want some?"

ooohhh...oh this is a rant...

I've talked before about how the pre-2020 Fraggle Fandom is weirdly heteronormative. And it's terrible. This isn't even an I hate straight people thing. This isn't even an I can't consume media if I can't ship the characters.

It's honestly kind of gross reading old Fraggle fics and seeing these dynamic, diverse and incredible characters boiled down to their gender.

I hate it when they made Mokey a Stepford wife. The top FIVE (last time I checked) Fraggle Fics on Wattpad had something to do with Mokey being pregnant, or otherwise a mother. Nothing wrong in a bubble, write what you want, but seeing an entire wall of that stuff just makes me cringe. She's more than motherly. She has a temper, she's a little selfish, she's kind of whiny, she's a bit of a sore loser.

I hate it when they strip Red of everything that makes her Red and shove her into a stereotypical mold of femininity that she doesn't fit. All the fics and art where she gets all blushy and ditzy around male characters? No. If she likes somebody, she's gonna act out and probably shove them and tease them. Also seeing her shipped with men makes me scrunch™ in displeasure.

I hate it when they made Wembley an idiot. He's not an idiot, he's just a little dumb sometimes. I've seen people treat him like a stupid idiot who doesn't know anything, making the heteronormativity even more apparent by turning him into the 'baby' of the group and not really letting him do anything besides be coddled by everyone else. The best parts of Wembley's arc are seeing him grow up, become an adult, stand up for himself, and declare that he's not a baby anymore.

I hate it when they strip Boober of his hobbies like cooking and laundry, I can only assume because they deem them too feminine. They make him more aggressive, a shocking amount of them make him incredibly arrogant, they ignore Sidebottom's existence, and they turn Boober from a dramatic drama queen with a passionate for traditionally un-masculine things into something completely unrecognisable. All I'm saying...That one Rocky Horror Fanart...If you know, you know.

I hate it when they take away Gobo's flaws, his list for adventure and his love for his friends. Honestly, I've seen a couple of old fics that kind of make him an insufferable pervert, but those seem to be few and far between, and other than being forced into relationships with every woman in the show, they seem to get his character...pretty ok.
