I don’t mean to be rude; but I don’t think I’ve ever seen this, does anyone have any examples?

Supernatural

Doctor Who (Steven Moffat specifically)

Sherlock (Steven Moffat specifically)

Actually Steven Moffat is basically just this sentiment given human form.

A version of this happened with The Magicians, tbh. Though instead of expectation: men, reality: women it was expectation: smug nihilists, reality: mentally ill queer folks.

Arguably Game of Thrones.

If we broaden it outside of television...I think Star Wars falls into this, at least the sequel trilogy. Maybe the MCU as well. And I can't help but think of every band that's ever complained that their fanbase is mostly women. 5 Seconds of Summer comes immediately to mind.

In general, most white male creators seem to have this massively entitled mindset where they want--and think they deserve--the time, attention, and enthusiasm that creative fandom (i.e. the side of fandom more dominated by women) is known for.

They want our eyes for ratings, our word-of-mouth for free publicity, our metas for social media buzz, and our spending power for merch and cons. But they don't want us. And they don't really want the responsibility of telling a story to a thoughtful, engaged audience, regardless of that audience's demographic makeup. They just want to be praised for whatever schlock they cough up.

And like any other spoiled brat, they will break their toys before they share them.

It goes all the way to the top for kids shows. Toy sales will crash a show. Makes sense, but if those toys are gendered for boys instead of the female viewers, they won't usually switch up the marketing and move them to the girl aisle. They cancel the show outright.

Mind you it is perfectly possible to make the switch in marketing, but execs would rather throw it all out than have something that doesn't perform well with male viewers. For example the Rey merch was not expected to be popular, for some reason, there had to be public outcry to get merch of one of the main 3 protagonists. A PROTAGONIST. The fact that she wasn't a huge part of the 1st launch says a lot already.

And what happened when female fans got too invested in the Sequel Trilogy? The entire writers room didn't necessarily lash out, but they sure forgot how to behave.

'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' owes its box-office success to women

The older, male generation of 'Star Wars' fans may be losing interest in the franchise, but female fans are stepping up.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was designed to be the opposite of The Last Jedi

You're all sitting on the hot take of the decade tbh

And yet when they fond out that boys were watching MLP:FIM in droves, they had NO PROBLEM with it.

#SONS OF ANARCHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!#LITERALLY SONS OF ANARCHY IS THE BIGGEST EXAMPLE OF THIS LIKE EVER#kurt sutter wrote that show for MEN and ended up with an overwhelmingly female audience#because he's actually a good writer and knows how to develop characters well and wrote excellent female characters#but once he realized that his audience was almost entirely women he literally took it out on tara and gemma in the show#but like tara specifically#he resented her character for being a huge draw for female viewers so he tore her development to shreds and killed her#in the most brutal gut wrenching way possible#kurt sutter you will pay for your crimes#i actually wrote a manifesto about this on one of my old blogs i should try to find it sldkjsldfjsdljf#long post (via@m-oonknight)

OMG YES. I LOVED Sons of Anarchy, especially the women and then I got to season 6 and it was like - everything was just tossed in the trash? And like, why did Sutter hate that Tara drew tons of attention? That should have been a good thing! He should have been like "Hey folks, this girl's getting us more viewers, let's put her in more scenes!" It just doesn't make sense to me. MEN don't make sense to me.

[geraltcirilla]

The 100 too. I'll never forget how Jason Rothenberg would attacked female fans on Twitter and mock them in interviews, and then post links to male fan discussions on Reddit to praise and thank them. In his goodbye letter to the show he SPECIFICALLY thanked Reddit and it was so disgusting.

[annaknitsspock]

Star Trek from TNG on was also a boy’s club, even though the TOS fans were mostly women. Women, in fact, who literally created modern fandom with their zines. But after TNG it was all, “Women don’t understand Star Trek, only smart men hur dur.”

i hate pessimistic takes on human nature so much

[tarrevizsla]

saying humans are inherently bad just excuses you from doing the work to improve yourself and the world around you. saying humans are inherently selfish means there's no reason to even try to make things better. and for some reason people think these are radical takes, that they're being smart or philosophical by saying humanity is doomed - these are not new takes. you're just catholic.

[forsakenoathkeeper]

if u dont acknowledge the fanfics u read, the writer won’t think anyone is actually taking the time to read their stuff, which makes our effort feel wasted and our passions feel worthless

[wintermoonqueen]

Tell. The. Fanfic. Writers. How. You. Feel.

[starscheme]

I will always reblog this. It’s important.

[monster-bait]

Don’t be a fandom vampire! Support the creators whose content you consume. Treat other people’s work the way you hope your own will be treated.

[slowdissolve]

Do it.

How do people still trust the mainstream media when they publish shit like this

Parenting 101 by Battinson Bruce Wayne

Dick: Bruce? I’m hungry.

Bruce, crouched in a corner, shuffling through a case file: where is Alfred

Dick: Remember he went to England last week?? I’m hungry! You have to feed me.

Bruce: *shuffles over to the mini fridge he has in the cave, finds a bag of shredded cheese, sits on the ground with it*

Dick: That’s just cheese tho??

Bruce: yes.

Dick, a ten year old: *shrugs* ok cool!

Dick, testing boundaries: I want to watch Jurassic Park.

Bruce: ok

Dick: I-It’s midnight?? I have school tomorrow?

Bruce, wearing a ratty old bathrobe and some flannel pants, eyes glued to the floor and hair falling in his face: caniwatchitwithyou

Dick: yeah?? but it’s really late???

Bruce: do you want popcorn

Dick, a ten year old: *shrugs* ok cool!

Dick: B I got into a fight today at school

Bruce: *shines a flashlight at Dick’s face*

Dick: I’m not hurt. They were teasing me for being a circus boy.

Bruce: did you win

Dick: …Sort of? Am I in trouble?

Bruce: *turns flashlight off and goes back to his case file* i can teach you some fighting techniques

Dick, a ten year old: *shrugs* ok cool!

Dick: We have parent day at school next week.

Bruce: hn

Dick: Um…the parents have to present what they do as a job. So I guess you can talk about your company. Just a five minute presentation.

Bruce: *vibrating, tearing up* presentation?

Dick: Alyssa’s mom made a PowerPoint.

Bruce: I can call you out and we will go to the zoo.

Dick, a ten year old: *shrugs* ok cool!

Dick: Bruce. >:-(

Bruce, hunched over, covered in grime:

Dick: You’re going to take me out on the next case with you.

Bruce:

Dick: *intense eye contact*

Bruce, shriveling up: okay but you need a costume

Dick, a ten year old: *shrugs* ok cool!
