Not to lesbian purity or something but there are some narratives you can’t ABSOLUTELY write m/m aus of. Revolutionary girl utena? The handmaiden? They are stories centered around the abuse and violence men uphold on women and women finding freedom in the love between them how can you find it appropriate in the slightest to write m/m angst of it??
TBH yeah that’s not okay guys stop
Not that I’m doubting the OP or the 1000+ people who’ve reblogged this post, but I’m kind of baffled that this is a common enough phenomenon that people are making annoyed posts about it? I mean, like, I’ll believe any fanfic concept has been done once, but as a frequent or at least regularish thing? And why were these people even watching The Handmaiden if they’re not that interested in f/f?
yes, its an unfortunately common thing.
Also because they are men or straight women who see nice lesbian story about escaping men’s abuse and think “mmmmm better make it about men”
