fslkdjflsa Brief rant that pertains to any genre. Het, slash, femslash, what have you...

Why why why why why does 'dominant personality' always equate to 'topping' in bed!? Why does being on the receiving end or simply being in the position of 'bottom' suddenly mean you have some kind of submissive personality!? I don't get it and I don't think I ever will. I don't begrudge people their fun, but honestly... it gets so tiring and irritating after a while.

People choose 'positions' based on what feels good. Believe it or not, sex isn't always some kind of power play! fkjdsalfjs GOD. Why does this bother me so much. If you ever want to push my buttons, this is evidently the best way to do it.

Misogyny in fandom.

Whoever says it isn't there is blind. I hate how female characters have to be portrayed in a certain way in order to be liked, while you have male characters who posses every negative trait imaginable and are still loved. It drives me crazy. How is it fair or equal to write off a female character as a 'Mary Sue' because she's too feminine, because she's not badass enough, because she's too badass? Women can't be sexual because they're a whore. They can't be 'pure' because it's sexist. They can't be 'weak' because it's anti-feminine. They're expected to meet some ideal of the 'modern woman' (equal to a man in every way possible?), but that ideal teeters on a glass cliff--go too far in the wrong direction and you'll fall unless what's holding you up breaks first.

Why is it wrong to have variety in female characters? Not every woman is strong-willed and independent, and neither is every man, yet if you take all the males characters who are loved and create female counterparts, I wonder how loved they would be?

Then again, maybe it's all about shipping wars. Women often get in the way of that special ship, don't they? [/sarcasm]

Gah. I'm in a bad mood this morning.

I haven't ranted in a while and this one's been simmering in me for months, so TIGHTEN YOUR SHORTS, PILGRIMS. It won't be pretty.

Feel free to agree or disagree. I like to hear other people's points of view. :D I’m really not as “RAR H8T U” as I make myself out to be. Like I said, it’s just been SITTING THERE for months. It could have been a lot longer. I... actually had to edit it down to make it readable.
