#and when i saw fem shika fics i was so elated

[justsomeoneunordinary]

can't believe that until a year ago i used to hate genderbending that's so embarrassing lol glad i grew out of that and have learned to appreciate it properly

#i'm not the same anymore uwu and all that jazz #tbf one thing i always hated abt genderbending that sometimes the flaws of a character get erased once they're a woman #to make her a mary sue basically #tho i have learned it depends heavily on fandom and character #shikam*ru (censoring so this doesn't appear in the tags) genderbends are the best example #i'll forever be of the opinion that if shika had been a girl instead he - resp. she - would've been thee most iconic character ever #and when i saw fem shika fics i was so elated #just to find out that in every. single. one. his flaws got erased to make fem shika out more superior #and it's so maddening to me like why would you do that??? his flaws are what makes him human! what makes him real! #he needs to make mistakes that actually bite him in the ass and that he learns from then - that's what makes him a dynamic character #and fem shika writers just erase that. make her smarter (??? as if he's not smart enough already??) and not lazy just for girlboss purposes #thanks for making an interesting character boring now #and it's so prevalent that it ruined the prospect of fem shika to me at all now... #but anyways genderbending rules actually #who needs men when they all could be women actually #(i only wrote this bc i suddenly realized i've never read a fem tony fic after i posted the one two days ago lol)
