why are bl fans so misogynistic?
i need to rant about this because i've seen this happen literally everywhere, in every form of media, not just bls. misogyny is so rampant in those communities and i have no fucking idea why?
why do you, as a woman, hate women characters so much and insist on sidelining them/saying misogynistic comments about them just for your little gay ship? take arcane for example. when jayvik became a thing, mel suddenly got so much unwarranted hate from the fans. and this is not to hate on jayvik, i think it's a great ship! but jaymel is quite literally canon?
i could name a million other examples but another one that comes to my mind is the love is the illusion spinoff about the child (byul). it seems like byul's ex girlfriend was just used as a plot device and was written in a way by the author to make her annoying and one-dimensional so fans could hate and shit on her. and it worked because the comments were flooded with misogynistic comments about her and even death threats! it's not even just bl fans, it's the authors too! they will deliberately create women that get in the way of the ship and so a hate train is sent to that character.
and i'm aware this is all fiction and all the characters are fictional, but i feel like this happens much too often to be passed off as something that's 'not that deep'?
anyways this was just my thinkpiece that i needed to get out okay bye
Agreed. Like these days the way they wrote bout female characters make some ppl hate on them like y do they hav to write them as a annoying/bad person. It makes ppl to hav no choice but to hate on them cuz they literaly make tje character to be a 'villain'. N the ppl who hate on well-written characters r just an ass it makes my blood boil when i se......
