#But she was a vehicle for a massively sexist and heterosexist plotline that was so bad it made me hate my favorite show ever for years

EWWW THE GUY WHO JOINED YOUR SERVER FOR GROSS R34 EUGH EUGH EW.

De..athst.ar shippers come in 2 flavors: the whump/abuse fanatics and the he-man womanlesbian-haters (/ref) chuds. I can never tell which is worse when they equally make me wanna yarf. I'm telling you, EVERY time I come across those guys SOMEONE IS POSTING CROPPED PORN. ALWAYS, ALWAYS WITH THE CROPPED PORN. This is a kids show for for flarf's sake it's just disgusting!! I know every fandom has its bad eggs but jfc!! ((Sorry to vent in your inbox but that rb brought up SO many annoying memories))

GOD! Tbh I'm sure there's a huge overlap between types. Apparently the stupid sexy "fanservice" in Dom's song worked because it drew in these disgusting weirdos in droves! If you look up WOY on any given website you’ll see at minimum a suggestive Dom pin-up!

It's not just the fandom having bad apples, it's them being drawn in and encouraged by the show. Sex sells. That's why the fandom exploded after My Fair Hatey came out and Dom's song went viral. Sure, there were others that saw the video and came too. But the massive influx of untagged porn was... hell.

And I'm still mad about how the crew's behavior (minus ND... he tried so hard and it's no coincidence that the episode he wrote is the only one where I liked Dom as a character...) lured these misogynist pervs in.

It was an incel storyline with the standard incel conclusion that she didn't love him because she was too evil to love. (Really hurt to see that as an aro who thought I was a girl...)

Then there's all these close-ups/emphasis on her boobs and butt, with expression and even anatomy sacrificed to make her look sexy... on a kid's show... Seriously, there was a revision where they had the pose redone because she didn't look attractive enough. Pissed me off to no end.

ND aside she didn't even get written as a character. Replace her with a sexy lamp and galaxy wide natural diaster and it'd be the same plot without the rampant misogyny. Still can't believe that the narrative taught Sylvia to follow Wander without question... Instead of her getting to sit him down and explain that he was being a heteronormative, sexist ass who only treated Dom as a prop to change Hater.

Hah. Yeah. As if Dom would charm him into being a good guy and live a happy, quiet domestic life when she wants to rip not only his spine out, but every spine in the galaxy.

Fun trivia! Once Craig said that C.Peeps banned women fron the army because Hater was nervous around them. Because they're (both) sexist. I find that hard to believe when he's the only man who respected Dom as a person (or at all) once her helmet came off.

Yeah. Not the all-loving do-gooder who was increasingly treated as an infinitely wise being. The guy who will shoot people for looking at him funny.
