I do what it takes...

people’s favorite the untamed scenes  —  for @haojun

#that and the fact that wwx was obsessed with saving the wens#yes they didnt participate in the fighting but wen qing and wen ning were literally occupying the jiang territory after the genocide#not to be political but that sounds and awful lot like being complicit#“but they saved jc!!” yeah that's held over his head the rest of the story#that and the last time that we see jc is when wn is spitting in his face how “marvelous wei-gongzi gave him his golden core”#motherfucker its because of YOUR FAMILY that jc had to sacrifice himself to save wwx#mdzs is SO UNFAIR to jc and the fandom gives him no chances#and the babygirlification of wn annoys me#also that and lwj simps being like “omg i love when he shuts down jc” girl lwj had an easy time compared to jc#hes not that much of a badass#jc suffers so much throughout the time wwx is alive and even MORE when he's dead and yet he cant find peace in post canon#like wangxian go riding off into the sunset getting married after barely knowing each other#and the man that was constantly pushed around by the story is yet again pushed down

I cannot imagine that the author is unaware how unappealing of a man LWJ is as-written. Like - is she? Wangxian is such a nothing couple, the only thing they share is physical attraction, predisposition to rough sex and inability to express their emotions?

Even trying to compare situations between JC and LWJ is laughable. I am not sure the author knew until the mid-novel who the male lead was going to be, becuase all LWJ does is a pale shadow of what JC did before him (well, excepting the rape fantasies, I guess).

The author's proudly displayed fetish

The author's fetish you're pretty sure they don't realise they have

The author's fetish which they're firmly convinced everyone has and is just pretending otherwise

The author's non-sexual special interest which just sounds like a fetish because of their habitually unfortunate phrasing

The fetish the author is making a well-meaning effort to cater to in spite of clearly not understanding it themselves

The author's fetish that never quite makes it into the text because they keep getting sidetracked by the requisite worldbuilding

The author's utterly pedestrian sexual preference which the text treats like a bizarre fetish because they've got shit to work through

The author's seemingly innocuous recurring trope they're going to have a personal revelation about ten years down the road

So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.

So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.
