Definite ignorance of female characters or deliberate vilification of them in favor of male characters and m/m ships

I will say, however, the treatment of female characters in this fandom specifically, at this point in time, is far *far* better than it was back in the day. Does that soften anything? No; there's still more work to do. But trust me when I say it used to be so much worse. And I'm sure you hear that all the time, but it *really* used to be *so much worse*.

#and tbh it was still not great up to four years ago - how many people still followed the jelly's a bitch and i just don't like her rhetoric #member? you 'member #What I find interesting however is that some individuals who are very vocal about the inherent display of fandom misogny #(which is not a bad thing - it's good to point these things out and have critical discussions surrounding them)#also seem to toe the line of different elements of misogynic issues both within the media and outside of it #and fall into misogynistic thinking patterns with a more blasé attitude when it suits them #like do we want to talk about the queens' london based makeup post 97 being a product of misogyny or what?#The energy should be spread across the board #jellicles ask because jellicles dare #unpopular opinions #anonymous #i will say though the ship thing is 50/50 - i've seen just as much disdain #for ships involving women that don't happen to be in the wheelhouse of preference #so idk iffy on that one #just what i've observed overall
