Fandom Gripe #23: I know that fandom is in some deep denial about its treatment of female characters that are canonically involved with fan favorite m/m ships, but do y’all realize that when you disappear female characters from the narrative wholesale to push the idea that your canonically straight fav was “secretly gay all along!” you’re making several bad implications? That 1) bi men don’t exist, 2) bi men do exist, but those who have genuinely loved a woman before cannot genuinely love a man after that (therefore bi men don’t exist in practice), 3) women cannot inspire genuine love and devotion in men, therefore any relationship with a woman is “lesser” than the one they later have a man (see previous parenthesis), or 4) to acknowledge the existence of a lovable woman who isn’t a terrible person, where if a relationship previously existed, it did not end because of “incompatibility,” is enough to destabilize the present relationship between two queer men?
Because why is the tgcf fandom allergic to acknowledging that He Xuan had a whole ass fiancée that he loved? Why does no one ever seem to remember that the kidnappings and murders of He Xuan’s sister and fiancée were the final straws that sent him on his rampage, and he still keeps a shrine to them in the present-day of the story? Why is her entire existence and significance to He Xuan as a man, character, and to his character arc disappeared in favor of pushing Shi Qingxuan—the brother of the man responsible for his fiancée’s death—into that same role, as if to say that her impact on He Xuan is significant... just not when it's from her? Why does He Xuan’s life in fandom essentially begin not just after her death but because of it?

The way that the man-wolf episode of usm is such a spideynovafist episode while also adding another character that was definitely pining over spidey makes me giggle

kinda cool how in season one eleven escapes the lab thinking she's the monster & in season four eleven escapes the lab again knowing she never was and that none of what happened was ever her fault.
and how in season two she goes on a journey to figure out part of her past and is told by another of the lab's victims that she needs to find strength in pain and anger & in season four we saw that it was her mother calling her by her real, human name and telling her that she loved her that gave her enough strength to overpower evil and banish it from their dimension, not the hurt and rage she felt at her being taken away. and that again, she was able to perform a miracle and bring her friend back to life by thinking of the love she showed her and the way she had always treated her like she was a human being.
she and her story are just really cool, methinks.

sometimes it’s a lil hard to switch gears into a sam chapter because you’ll get brienne, jaime, cersei, arianne, and sansa back to back for like 15 chapters and it’s nothing but politics or fallout of the war constantly and then theres a screech as the narrative takes a left turn detour into Sam & Gilly having a terrible horrible no good very bad day and not interacting with the greater plot at ALL and you’re like aemon stop giving sad monologues I AM NOT IN THE RIGHT HEAD SPACE DAMMIT

im sorry but ppl who say shit like “i just dont remember faces/dates/names/etc” and use that as an excuse to literally just ignore every detail about their peers are FREAKS. i was talking to this guy who said this shit to me and then he boldly brags about how he couldnt even remember his own girlfriend’s birthday or NAME until three years of dating her like sir this isn’t a funny relatable quirky moment, you sound dismissive, uncaring, self absorbed, and like you don’t view others as human 😁🫵🏻
