Oh also In my mind WFA and vivs shit exist in the same sphere as people thinking it’s groundbreaking work bc it’s fanfic tropes someplace “official” but it’s these same people who hem and haw for DECADES on why fandoms conveniently ignore queer women and BIPOC and think reading fanfic is the same as reading books

#the fanfic books one is more complicated in my mind but like the gist of it is #you think it’s groundbreaking bc ur the one doing it #or enjoying it #and It’s like no u Can love shit sometimes it’s ok #and like no something Im never gonna shut up about is how fandoms are preached to be so inclusive or progressive #but god forbid you tell people to stop mischaracterizing a black character and to care about women #suddenly it’s think pieces on think pieces that boil down to ‘canon only matters when it excused my bigotry’ and ‘i don’t wanna’#on that first point #It’s hilarious when ppl go it’s harder to care about female characters bc they’re not given attention by writers #like girl you ship goku and vegeta. u ship Naruto and sasuke. u ship Harry Potter and Draco malfoy #you know damn well it’s not the author stopping you #and thats old shit to remind you how prevalent it’s always been #u made up a shrimp allergy for tim Drake #AND THIS IS RHE THING #when it comes to the way female and bipoc are treated that excuse is so funny #especially in dc #Bc ur depictions of shit you made up manages to stay consistent amongst fandom as a whole #all of you can agree on shit that never happened and debate the reasons and results of shit you made up #ie tim doing the Bruce quest #‘alone’ or being threatened to get sent to Arkham or carrying the batfam and being abandoned or ignored or being treated badly by Bruce bc #of Jason etc.#y’all can make METAS on all that shit but the second I say it’s weird that Duke is always the normal one or chaotic gremlin with nothing to #who he is yall get mad
