i was logged out for a week and life was so peaceful. i read books by and about women. and when i read comics, i only read comics that prominently featured women. and they were fun!

then i logged back in and ventured beyond my peer reviewed 'i swear on my life that this has women in it who matter to the plot' bubble and. well. can you guess what i found. or rather. who i didnt find. can you guess

#im genuinely beginning to hate the dc fandom. i dont want to! but its getting really hard not to #its not that i dont like guy characters. i love kon! and dick! and tim!#but its exhausting to engage with a fandom that by and large doesnt seem to think women matter #i just want people who write dickkory to think kory matters. i just want people who write batfam to write cass as being there #i want stephanie and babs not to just solve bg problems so that the IMPORTANT CHARACTERS (men) can talk about their feelings #its so disheartening #does anyone else out there actually see the girls as human? as interesting as they see the men?#do you see a complex and deeply interesting deeply human psyche? trauma worth unpacking?#do you see someone worth diving deeper?#you do these deep complex character studies for all of the men. where are the ones for the girls?#ive read a few about cass and stephanie over the last day or two and now that ive feasted...#...whenever i read fics and they arent there i just feel so hollow #its not intentional sexism by fans. no one can force someone to care about characters they just dont care about #but fandom reinforces caring about the men so so so so much #and the girls get scraps #i just feel like a ghost in dc. i like the women. genuinely am interested in them. why do i never find fics About them?
