Femslash Elders, I have questions!

What was it like, especially around the time when things moved from offline to online? I've spent a lot of time thinking about the social function of fandom, especially for lesbians/wlw. So many couples and babies born from fandom couples... So many people realizing their sexuality and finding community because of tv shows and resonating with the same female characters or (subtextual/potential) couples... but I just wonder what it was like in the nineties and before. How did y'all connect? Was it more hush-hush? Where are the couples with fandom origin stories etcetc?

People who lived in Los Angeles and Vancouver, what was it like to be close to where it was shot? Were there friend groups locally that focused on fandom? Were there set spoilers? How did you know where they were shooting without social media etc? What has changed, and also what's the same? Did you get to meet creatives? Conventions?

Not that I'm not kind of a fandom elder, but I joined later in life, guess I'm just wondering what I missed out on... I want the lore.

So the interesting situation being: I noticed this immovable obstacle in the RPG known as real life, I for some reason were obsessed with giving my SPECIFICALLY sapphic woman the female-pref labels. Like, for example, I can't just make her polysexual, I need to SPECIFY that she is a FEMALE-PREF polysexual. And of course it could be just wokeness, but I want to deconstruct it, because my man characters are bi, pan, poly, without a specific preference, and date men just fine. Heck, he can be omni with a female pref and still settle down with a dude, when if a woman is something else but a lesbian, my mind automatically categorizes her as "IN DANGER OF FALLING TO A MAN"

because this is the type of soapbox fandoms are on. FOR A LONG. TIME.

Of course we can run into many different cases, like

a woman is sapphic, let's say pan, in canon, said label just slapped onto her, and then the absolutely straight character gets written underneath. Or one more diabolical case scenario: "lesbian at home" that is just a bunch of stereotypes sewn together WITH A LIGHT THREAD that has an endgame with a man in some kind of a straight situation. A woman can have thick as shit sapphic coding, but when she has any contact with a man, let's say to represent a sapphic experience, that a woman's sapphic attraction gets downplayed in her own mind due to heteronormativity, SHE TURNS STRAIIIIGGHHHH

if a girl looks at a boy, the general masses allow NO NUANCE. The best nuance they are able to let in is "boy gay therefore girl evil, girl force boy to love her, girl make poor boy sad" and in this scenario woman gets swooped away from the conversation and the best the female character can end up with is a "poor heartbroken straighty" title some people pity, but not too much (she is a woman after all guys dont forget that)

And this is the background we are working from, so to avoid a straightifying of my woman in my mind it should be good enough to just add this female pref in, lets gooo specifyyy, put this PNG in, but actually I control every and any action of mine, I am able to deconstruct all the thought processes, I am able to control all of that, so now we know a little more about my thoughts, yey!! Now we need to find a way to, well... escape the hellring

Her romancing methods are badshit insane, like girl you know you can just flirt with them right?

The fact that she is driven to women… it’s in her core, they trigger her so much, they drive her to emotions, but due to her utter bigotry she spent her life in, she was taught that strong emotions are weakness, these feelings are dangerous, blasphemous, wrong, traitorous. If that’s not thirst for blood, if that’s not anger. Girls make her feel so much, all the feelings keep her in agony in her room, her chest is so full it hurts, but it’s ok as long as it’s anger, everything is pure, morally correct, and she is not a “traitor”

as long as she is angry doing it.
