top/bottom discourse is fascinating to me because i think pretty much everyone gets themselves sorted into a little niche where everyone is shipping the same way but its not like, necessarily the same way you personally ship. it's easy to forget that fandom is extremely self-selecting AND that you don't always self-select people with the exact same opinions as you.

#every time i do a little seme/uke poll its seme L sweep but i actually think it would be different if someone else ran one ghfjlhgf #there's about an equal distribution on ao3 & there's more stuff tagged top!light than top!L this year by about like 30 works #not like. clean stats or anything bc i think people tend to tag more for stuff thats niche #or which they perceive as niche #like i don't generally bother to tag top!L bc its so much more common amongst my personal mutuals that it feels redundant #but like it does kind of seem to be 50/50 #THIS IS NOT A VAGUEPOST this is inspired by 'kyo writing like 5 different top!light fics for dnkinktober'#is there discourse ongoing right now. i wouldn't know bc everyone with ship-based dnis has me blocked due to those polls ghkjhgf #this is fine btw 'annoys me' is a good reason to block
