No you don’t understand it’s misogynistic to like mlm but it’s legitimate criticism to boil down a well know talented queer artist her fujo gf who forced her to add icky men and celebrating any kinda of queer love between men is lesbian erasure. (Jokes aside I understand the frustration of wlw not being as popular as mlm but the leaps these people go through to justify there frustration IS ironically misogynistic and also homophobic. like why do u keep shitting on mlm representation like being a man into men isn’t whatever I genuinely don’t think people want to here anything else other than men bad women good) But then again I’m not even into alien stage I’m just someone who’s been a qmengs work since before it came out so to see an artist I’ve looked up to for a while be out in South Korea of all places and instead of people celebrating that all I see this shit is fucking frustrating

what's the joke here this is just what people say unironically 💀

it's like... see before i just thought this discussion was pointless
generally speaking, ofc i agree the disrepancy between m/m and f/f in fandom overall is due to misogyny because that's like... a fact
but not just because the straight girl fujos all hate women or whatever this boils down to on twitter lmao

and that's simply a reflection of #society so complaining online doesn't accomplish anything. but well people should be free to vent about things they can't change

that's what i thought before anyway... but more recently i've just realized how much of said "venting" is just obvious misogyny and homophobia??
part like what you said, so much is really just men bad women good which... cmon
and then the amount of times ive seen people being accused of not being real lesbians over liking yaoi is?? ????? how are poeple this unselfaware. it's not just that one fringe acc trust me, hell this isn't even the first time ive seen that accusation to qmeng specifcally
so actually no. Just stop. stop talking about it. ever.
people never take this seriously fsr but really do people not know the origins of the word fujoshi. idk man maybe it's just me but calling someone a rotten woman as an insult does sound kind of misogynistic
or god. porn addict. as we know it's sooo feminist to say women having sexual desires is bad

"but we need to have a conversation about fandom misogyny"--no maybe some things don't need to be a fucking conversation actually. this matters so little in the grand scheme of things, and clearly most people don't even have a proper conception of what misogyny is, much less when they're posting bullshit online
i mean... a very basic example: you know how fanfiction is mostly written by women. purely for the sake of argument, let's say overall there's more of them attracted to men so that's why there's more m/m
...and people never even consider the misogyny already inherent to this. i mean like-- misogyny is why romance is seen as a genre for women and unmanly/lesser/too girly/whatever word this should be common sense/etc right??
which reflects onto how it's mostly women engaging with fic

but you /know/ things like this is never what people mean when they talk about misogyny causing a lack of f/f. no it's because the people i dont like have internalized misogyny (everyone's favorite new buzzword) (which again im not saying is untrue, just not in the way most people mean it--also literally everyone is affected by this to some extent so dont act so superior)
so now i can call them brainless fujos. and get likes on twitter

i dont mean this as any particularly deep observation or anything
it's just frustrating how many people's conception of misogyny seems to begin and end at how fandom treats female characters
i wanna say this is bc of how chronically online people are that they forget real life exists but am i not also chronically online. so why are all of you like this huh???

............ uhh so after all of that how can i get you to try alien stage it's only 30 min and im so normal now see--mnsdfhks (oh wait i guess you mean you didnt try it and you were actually normal about it right)
unfortunately im a fake fan who only got into this when round 6 blew up, but now that im aware of these guys it's neat seeing their names pop up in so many music videos... (deep faker <3)
