I absolutely hate it when slash fics feel like they gotta tear down the character’s previous relationship with a girl in some way. Like it doesn’t matter if they were canonically having some truly fantastic sex just a few episodes ago, dude’s gonna hook up in the fic with another dude and it’ll be all “it was never this good with HER” or some shit about how it feels more ~right~ somehow.
It’s vaguely biphobic, misogynistic, and invalidates what were often perfectly healthy relationships with women while subconsciously perpetuating the idea that you can’t love more than one person in your lifetime. That girl you were absolutely in love with a few months ago? Yeah that was nice but THIS love with your new boyfriend is obviously SO MUCH MORE REAL.
Why is this necessary? Why can’t you just respect these relationships and the female characters who were an important part of this male character’s life? As a writer, you’re in control of the world you’re building, so they literally pose no threat to you. Grow up.
#i hate seeing ladies in fic getting compared unfavorably to dudes#and the weird body-hating way it often happens#like when the main dude is having sex with another dude#and he’s like WOW MANLY MCBUTCHFACE HERE IS ALL HARD MUSCLE#SO DIFFERENT FROM MY EX-GIRLFRIEND FLOWER MCWOMANHIPS’S SOFT SUFFOCATING CURVES#like from fic you would think that men are made of concrete#and women are a subspecies of jellyfish (x)
