One of the things that bothers me about the Twilight saga is that interesting characters, stories, and plots weren't explored to their full potential and were wasted to give excessive attention to a dull protagonist. The fandom manages to be even worse in this regard because, instead of using their talent to write stories that offer something better than what we've had in the canon, they prefer to do the same thing the author did: further reduce incredible characters to this dull protagonist.

people will go onnn about how a man’s flaws makes him so nuanced and interesting and then act genuinely confused when u feel the same way about a woman…

if you make a post complaining about sexism in fandom you will Always get people in the notes that try to lampshade the very phenomenon you're critiquing. "where are the woman in fanfiction, they all seemed to have disappeared" meanwhile a dozen people are loling in the notes saying they do this intentionally bc they dont like to write women

this female character has toxic masculinity because she's rude and angry. it's misogynistic to hate my male fave because he's popular with women but it's ok to hate on this female character because she's bad female rep and women who like her don't count. it's actually misogynistic to like badly written women because it is rewarding low effort of male writers and I'm the sole arbiter of what is a badly written woman. it's misogynistic to write women with personality flaws because complexity is for silly boys. it's feminist to remove women from stories and focus on the men because I don't have to deal with that bad rep in my fanfiction. it's misogynistic how the narrative has reduced her to a love interest for a man so I reduced her to the mom friend, yaoi cheerleader, and therapist for the same man instead. she deserves better so I decided to remove her from the narrative altogether so she won't have to suffer all the interesting conflict my guys will have to suffer instead. no, I'm not a misogynist, my disregard for women is 100% feminist.

Creo que el hecho de que haya gente que no encuentre mutuals que hablen su idioma es una profecía autocumplida ("no hay gente que hable mi idioma acá" → entonces posteo solo en inglés → nunca encuentro gente que hable mi idioma → confirmo la idea inicial). He visto gente postear en francés, italiano, ruso, finés, húngaro (por poner ejemplos) sin buscar activamente posts en esos idiomas. Puede que haya muchos yanquis en Tumblr pero eso no significa que no se puedan crear comunidades en otros idiomas.

A esto me refiero. Cómo que "little Portuguese"? No conoce a la hermosa comunidad brasilera.

My view of Barry Allen has changed quite a bit over time. Today, I see him the same way I see Stefan from TVD: as the typical 'good guy', or whatever your definition of that might be. I like good guys, or even flawed good guys, but only when they're well-written—which isn't the case with these two.

This reminds me of a Twitter thread where the focus wasn't on criticizing Stefan, but rather on the character's poor writing. It's interesting! If anyone wants it, here it is:

the online identity and gimmick-ifying of autism is so odd. I'm diagnosed with autism and yet I barely identify with any stuff I see about it anymore. It feels like autism is being rebranded as the Silly Guy Disorder that gives you smart and beautiful hyperspecific interests. it's not that I mind silly jokes or being lighthearted about being autistic- but when the entire social movement is based around marketing us this way, I just can't help but feel isolated from it. it feels like I'm not the right kind of autistic. I'm not marketable and digestible to common audiences, and therefore I am discarded by the movement in the name of progress and acceptance. it feels foul.

Also like everyday brings another White male character with 5 seconds of screentime and a paper thin personality that fandom latches onto because they're 'sooo relatable and interesting!' meanwhile a Black character can be the world's most complex nuanced person but they're just too new :( they don't have enough moments :(( something just doesn't click :((((
