from the makers of “historical female character who would’ve worn a corset every day of her life complains about how corsets are evil & oppress women” and “historical female character who would’ve grown up in a society where people marry for money thinks she’s better than everyone else because she doesn’t want to marry for money,” get ready for “historical gay male character who would’ve grown up in a society where people marry & have babies for money & property and keep lovers on the side for actual romantic company complains about his lover marrying a woman with the expectation of having babies” and its live-in same sex best friend who shares a bed, “everyone in this society where being gay is illegal is actually totally cool with gay couples & they can totally get legally married”
#brought to you by fanfiction & modern-day values as a substitute for empathy and understanding#tropes#historical fiction#im mostly complaining about fanfiction. i have other wraths for non-fan-fiction#if you can understand why it's not actually progressive for a female character who can't vote or divorce her abuser to preach#about something as minuscule as underwear & why that seems like the author's focused on aesthetic over meaning#you should understand why the society that writes laws to jail & execute or maim gay men is not made up of yaoi stans#happy pride! don't talk to me
