can't believe that until a year ago i used to hate genderbending that's so embarrassing lol glad i grew out of that and have learned to appreciate it properly
#i'm not the same anymore uwu and all that jazz#tbf one thing i always hated abt genderbending that sometimes the flaws of a character get erased once they're a woman#to make her a mary sue basically#tho i have learned it depends heavily on fandom and character#shikam*ru (censoring so this doesn't appear in the tags) genderbends are the best example#i'll forever be of the opinion that if shika had been a girl instead he - resp. she - would've been thee most iconic character ever#and when i saw fem shika fics i was so elated#just to find out that in every. single. one. his flaws got erased to make fem shika out more superior#and it's so maddening to me like why would you do that??? his flaws are what makes him human! what makes him real!#he needs to make mistakes that actually bite him in the ass and that he learns from then - that's what makes him a dynamic character#and fem shika writers just erase that. make her smarter (??? as if he's not smart enough already??) and not lazy just for girlboss purposes#thanks for making an interesting character boring now#and it's so prevalent that it ruined the prospect of fem shika to me at all now...#but anyways genderbending rules actually#who needs men when they all could be women actually#(i only wrote this bc i suddenly realized i've never read a fem tony fic after i posted the one two days ago lol)
