alright, i know i dont usually write or post anything on here myself but i feel like ranting. I am like actually so sick of the „bimbo, ditzy, airhead, coquette pink princess sabrina carpenter” reader everytime i wanna read a fanfic. Like why is it that every time its a fanfic for lets say rafe cameron the hashtags are ALLL filled with THAT type of reader? Every time i wanna read a fanfic, not even focusing on a character, majority of those fanfics have THAT type if reader. And dont write in the comments and say that it probably pops up because i like it and its the algorithm. NO. I genuinely just have to dig far far down to find a fanfic that doesnt have that kind of reader.
And dont get me wrong, i have nothing againt the pink, feminine bimbo aeshtetic. I have oc’s with that aeshtetic and style, but they’re more like emma moreau from H2O or barbie. She’s confident, she’s barbie. They’re confident but they also have standards and they’re smart and barbie acts like a grown ass woman, not a child. And they always fucking have to include, just have to, sabrina carpenter. I dont like sabrina carpenter because of the fact she wants to appeal for how small she looks. Like her lyrics „look like a niña” and lolita photoshoot are fucking wierd.
Theres nothing wrong with being feminine, but why every time a character is feminine she has to be watered down to a pink loving ditzy airhead bimbo who never stands up for herself and lets guys treat her like shit and everytime she does something bad its „im just a girl!”? Why cant she have a personality that doesnt rely on the characteristics of a child like personality? Why cant she have a soul and have a brain? If a woman if feminine does that mean she cant have a brain or a soul, is being feminine weak? Because thats how i think those authors see it, as weak. That everytime a woman if feminine, she’s weak and she’s dumb and she has to rely on a man and she cant do anything for herself. I get that women like the security of their partner but you have to stand up for yourself too. You cant rely on a man for everything all the time dumbass.
Feminine readers shouldnt be written as airheads who are weak and „so smol” that the man can just pick them up and throw them around and they cant do anything themselves because they’re „so short and so smol” and they always need the help of the man. Feminine reader should be smart, should be confident and should be able to do things herself rather than acting like a child relying on its parent. And everytime that there’s a fanfic with that reader, it’s always fucked up like „rough dom” „dubcon” „rough” and she always acts like a child. Isnt that a little wierd to anyone else? That she acts like a child and the guy is always rough and super dominant and borderline abusive? It feels pedophilic everytime i read it and it makes me cringe in my seat. Not cringe in the internet sense but actually cringe like my face twists in disgust and i twist in my seat and i tap off the fanfic.
Also def listen to the song „stupid girls” by P!nk. I dont really like her music but i feel like it relates to my post. Now do i think she used to the right language to portray her point? No. But if you go to the comments of the video, you’ll see what her point is. That instead of being themselves, women act like airheads and childlike for male validation. For the male gaze.
The video that i will link below besides the song also relates to my post and makes points i agree with so def check it out if you want.
That’s my rant. Otherwise have a good day and dont send hate, i just wanted to rant and if you dont agree with me, then just scroll cause i dont have time to argue. This is a personal rant on my personal blog and if you dont like my opinion, just scroll.
