oh my godddd just got recommended a post about how the slay the princess fandom is misogynistic and giving in to "the trend where fandom ignores the female characters" bc people are having fun shipping the voices. several comments were like 'ugh i know its so bad already ://" shut up. shut up shut up shut uppppppp

the slay the princess fandom is VERY small. if you check ao3, we've got less than 200 fics total. and guess what? the hero/princess ship is by FAR the most popular. the voice ships are miniscule in comparison. if people playing with m/m ships at ALL bothers you, you may in fact just be homophobic. (and maybe instead of bitching about how what a handful of other people create isn't to your liking, you could like. create something yourself.)

#fan wank /#i dont get too into actually angry fan wank like this very often #but oh my god #one of the comments said it 'failed the bechdel test'#IT HAS TWO CHARACTERS #THE GIRLS DONT EVER TALK TO EACH OTHER BECAUSE WE ARE IN THE BOY'S HEAD #ITS PART OF THE FUCKING PREMISE #(arguably 3 characters ig if the narrator counts as 'separate' but tbh im not sold on that)#anyway my friend wrote some very fun f/f about the nightmare and advarsary meeting within the shifting mound #i honestly think that if we WERE in the princess' head we'd see a lot like that #except we CANT be in the princess' head by definition bc she is a reflection of what the mc thinks of her #it HAS to be from his perspective
