#fandom criticism

At some point "fanfic can be as good as professional writing" became "fanfic should be as good as professional writing" and that's caused major damage to fandom spaces.

the big man is the masculine dom and the dom is the top and the little man is effeminate and transgender but fully passes as a cis man and has top surgery but since he doesnt have bottom surgery he literally has to be a bottom theres no way for someone with a vagina to top and the bottom is the sub and they are both uncomplicatedly homosexual with zero positive emotions for women and they both have adhd and autism but only the kind of autism that doesnt actually disable you and they also crossdress but in a specifically humiliating way (why would a MAN wear a DRESS??? 🤪🤪 etc.) and they live together in a big house that they can both effortlessly afford and they're married and have 2 kids a dog and a cat (because Big man is dog coded and Little man is cat coded) and neither of them have jobs or lasting damage from canon events they've been through or physical disabilities or PTSD that I cant turn into Angsty Ship Content and the sun has a big smiley face and birds are just V shapes on the paper it doesnt have to be more complicated than that you dont have to flesh them out. you dont have to. and if you think about it wouldn't it just be soooo much effort to draw a whole bird?? youre just having fun its mean to ask you for detail. and my teacher lives at the school and the bus driver lives in the bus and everything is exactly the same :)

hi, hi, hello! hi fandom space! i’m a sex favorable asexual! yeah, i exist! yes, i’m the one you keep pointing out when you want to ship canonically aro/ace characters! hi! guess what, i hate you. stop it. stop using me to erase my friends who aren’t sex favorable, because you know what? it’s actually really awful of you to only believe i exist when you want to erase a different part of my community. stop using me to encourage allonormativity. you as an allo person do not get to use ace-/aro-spec people to encourage our erasure and dismissal. no. i hate it and i hate you. stop.

“ermmmm actually, isn’t she lovely isn’t abt funnybunny, it’s abt jax being transfem 👆👆👆” that isn’t any better you dumb fuck

“fandom isn't activism” and “fandom isn't a place where you get a free pass for bigotry” are two statements that can and should coexist
