Because the “shrodinger’s queerbait” nonsense will never go away, indulge me an analogy (and a long post).

wlw ships are the “made from scratch” cake in a world where we only ever expect cake mix from the box.

Say you have a show where, in the first interaction between a male and female character, there is a red box. It could be a Betty Crocker box of cake mix. Because all it takes is just one smile — one wink — one raised eyebrow— and the fans don’t question it. We’re clearly making a cake here. The box is red.

Meanwhile, you have two female characters building their own relationship that have elements that could build to romance. There are eggs in the fridge. A few more episodes, there’s flour in the pantry. Sugar. Baking powder. Queer fans start whispering…we could be making a cake here. Other fans scoff “you will read into anything. They’re just eggs! Everyone has eggs in their fridge!” Maybe so, maybe not. They are written off as discrete ingredients, nothing to see here.

That red box is still sitting in the pantry. Obviously we’re going with that one, and it’s definitely cake mix. That guy and girl stood next to each other again.

The wlw relationship is now full-on batter. It was a cake recipe all along, but it’s not baked yet. The crowd that wrote off every ingredient is now saying the writers are just going to “squander” that box that could be ready-made cake mix or that they’re being “forced” to bake a cake with the very ingredients the writers deliberately bought and put in their pantry.

Now it’s in the oven, the cake is baking. That crowd will still insist it’s forced, or maybe its actually something else, or it’s rushed, or it’s pandering. Whether the writers painstakingly built a pantry to make the cake they truly wanted or they were cultivating good ingredients and realized they had the fixings for a more decadent cake and went there, it doesn’t matter. It’s still a recipe. One that fans who always have to piece together ingredients had hoped for or saw from the get-go, despite being scoffed at and disparaged. Just because that crowd didn’t see (or refused to see) those ingredients as part of a whole, doesn’t make it any less of a recipe.

And wlw fans shouldn’t have to keep writing essays to demonstrate that the wlw “cake” has all the ingredients every cake mix does, or keep pointing out that fans were ready to believe a cake was being baked when they saw a nondescript box, but that they’ll do anything to discredit or doubt the cake from scratch that’s now cooling off on the counter.

It is partly a function of heteronormativity from the audience in immediately seeing romance in any whisper of interaction between m/f characters and passing off all charged interactions between female characters are sisterly or platonic. And it also comes from writers, who are either being cautious so as not to spook corporate overlords or audiences, or who are preserving plausible deniability.

To take the analogy further, box cake mix is fine! It works! It is, practically speaking, what a lot of folks know by default. I thought I was a Duncan Hines girl once myself. Vanilla cake mix has the ingredients measured out, it’s a safe bet, it tastes like cake.

But it doesn’t mean every red box is cake mix. And it doesn’t make the cake that had to be pieced together from scratch due to censorship, caution, time, narrative build-up, what-have-you, any less of a cake.

#Also this is a pillsbury cake mix hate blog so it doesnt count. The good ones have red boxes. #are we discoursing on this fine evening? Why not. #This could be about literally any wlw ship #but as someone who binged 8 volumes of rwby before 9 and missed all the drama but sees the vestiges of it years later somehow #its wild to me. Because as someone who saw the narrative in one gulp #it is very obvious they have put a lot of love and attention into Bumbleby #anyway this applies to #Bumbleby #korrasami #clexa #bubbline #harlivy #i could keep going #Having to defend a wlw ship like it’s a dissertation EVERY TIME is exhausting #And the fact that wlw fans have been burned before shouldn’t be wielded as a sword and a shield every time a wlw ship is viable

Okay who's gonna be my homoerotic best friend who's also j as sexy and hot as me and we go on adventures together and everyone ships us but it will never be canon cause we're both in a straight relationship with partners that we have little to no chemistry with that diminishes both partners character potential to just a sad hetero relationship to stop the gays

#what if i j tag literally every gay ship like this i can think of #drarry #kara x lena #jason todd x roy harper #wolfstar #kind of #sambucky #tony stark x stephen strange #timkon #im trying so hard to think of more wlw but all my favs r canon #klance #zukka #tho suki and sokka were cute but like mei and zuko had no chemistry for me #destiel

those damned anime weebs were right, Neon Genesis Evangelion really does go fucking hard

the dr fandom cant handle wlw ships in any other context than background fluff with no depth

i like sakuraoi and tsumioda ect but they always get woobified and mellowed out like did they SEE 1-4??? aoi did not pull all that to get sidelined as a supportive background lesbian in your ishimondo fanfic

and don’t get me wrong. my girls need a break sometimes fluff is great i don’t have a problem with it. but it’s the constant sidelining of wlw ships in favour of het/mlm ships in pretty much any fandom that gets to me.

and how wlw ships are only acceptable in the community when they don’t have any dysfunction or toxicity, and if the ship does have even the slightest hint of the above qualities it is either mellowed out to the point of being unrecognisable or dumped on with thinly veiled misogyny and homophobia and when i say slightest hint i mean the literally slightest hint. like the girls will argue once and the fandom will label the ship toxic while shipping. fucking kuzupeko or something.

wlw ships are seen almost entirely as a way to get female characters out of the way of mlm ships. in het ships the female character is a tool to develop the male character. they show significantly less depth and probably dies to forward the male character’s development (sound familiar?)

in any situation female characters are characterised by their relations to male characters. a female character’s (usually romantic, or at least interpreted as such) relationship with a male character is their defining characteristic. if said female character is in a wlw relationship they are reduced to their most basic traits while male characters are explored and given depth, and exist in the story only to offer support to the male characters.

i haven’t even mentioned how female characters must be in a relationship to be even remotely relevant in a story, but that’s a rant for another time.

grrah the way that female characters mirrors how wlw ships are treated by the community, and that characters/ships that aren’t completely perfect and deemed acceptable by the community are dumped on by the larger dr community while worse ships or characters are welcomed because they happen to contain a male character is gonna be my 13th reason istg.

anyways this rant is getting long but in summary danganronpa fans hate women and they hate wlw relationships that they can’t jerk off to.

#apple chat #danganronpa #sdr2 #thh #ndrv3 #this post is incoherent i know i know #also as an add on #leaving this in the tags because my post is about female characters and wlw relationships exclusively #and what im going to say affects mlm relationships as well #but the despite the amount of queer fans a lot of the dr community esp the ones on reddit view heterosexuality as the “default” #and dump on queer ships simply because they happen to be queer #the dr community’s constant complaining about its queer fans drives me up a wall #yes a lot of them are annoying and i also hate the annoying komahina saiouma shippers who hate anything that isn’t pale twink yaoi BUT #we can dump on annoying dr fans and ships we don’t like without bringing up sexuality i believe in you guys❤️ #oh no the poor straights the shippers made their favourite characters gay💔 damn those homos ruining everything #is what you guys genuinely sound like sometimes #the tone deafness in this community #one day i will round up every dr redditor and set them on fire #I’m so sorry you had to see gay people on your dash as repayment you get one f slur pass use it wisely #i will shit on dr community again another day for now goodbye🫡 #psst btw i have no beef with kmhn and (most) of its fans but a bunch are Like That so yeah #on the other hand fuck saiouma all my homies hate saiouma (well *I* don’t like it but good for you besties) #ok this is getting long enough BYEEE #homophobia tw #misogyny tw

people continue to follow this blog????

if anyone goes through the old posts of this blog, my warning is that 2015-2017 were dark times for the sapphic community

#and please understand that my past self was just. oblivious to a lot of things. #wrote this post because j was looking at my old files and the pkmn fandom was really running around in the old flag back then #theres a lot of things that flew over my head #but thats a whole can of worms to discuss. but if you know. you know about *THAT* anonymous ask sent to every wlw user/blog #2015-2017 really was just a bad time throughout all of tumblr in general #however it feels like we're undergoing another dark era where cognative dissonance cis women believe that taylor swift is a lesbian #like girl every sapphic ship has done more for the wlw community than that white woman #that aside just turn on timestamp/dates for posts because a lot of content on here is from the mid2010s

@ everyone who mistakes my Jacin for a lesbian: you make my life brighter

#every single time i post jacinter. every time. someone thinks it's gay. and im living for it #i'm not even TRYING to make him look like a girl i have just assigned him the Pretty Boy role back in 2017 and then gained clout in wlw #ship circles and now my friends and i call him lesbian jacin. beautiful #tlc liveblog #i feel like i draw him a lot like yato but no one ever thought yato was a lesbian. science of blonde hair bitches

imply women might like each other romantically to see celibacy defenders and 'stop being horny' warriors crawl out of the woodwork I guess

#the poll has exposed me to a lot of really depressing mindsets that I never realized we re so popular #in my little insulated bubble of being into dunmeshi with 12 other people the majority of whom are also wlw #like. damn these people really scream and cry and throw up at the idea of femslash #dont even get me started on the fact that the mithrun kabru ship won over them last year I am so fucking mad #at least there's plenty of support for the girls too for every disaparagibg comment #cor.txt

#legit though part of why i often find myself more interested in m/f ships is two-fold #a) they still have women in them and b) m/f ships are allowed to be. well. fucked up for lack of a better word #like my god there were people losing their shit about shadowzel and saying it was wrong to ship it #when frankly it's a very tame example enemies to lovers even though we like to joke about ''toxic yuri'' #but there's fuckin discourse about it because istg there's this weird attitude that f/f ships need to be Pure or whatever the fuck?? #have y'all ever known lesbians irl??? wlw are every bit as screwed up as everybody else #and yes positive rep is important but i think queer women ESPECIALLY should be allowed to tell the stories they want to tell #without members of their own community jumping down their throats and telling them they're morally bankrupt #because their ship isn't all soft sunshine and rainbows and equal power dynamics and Correct Thinking On The Issues #maybe policing and shaming real queer women for ''glorifying abuse'' or whatever the fuck #(when most of the time they aren't even doing that!!!!) #is the actual negative impact here

[box-dwelling]

It's very funny to me that spirituality Narumitsu is Yuri and FranMaya is yaoi

#narumitsu #Wrightworth #FranMaya #like one is two people who are canon obessed with eachother constantly pinning deep in emotion and history #and the other is two characters that barely talk in canon but theyre hot and look good together so they get to fuck #that is every mlm and wlw ship ever except the genders are reversed

[chubs-deuce]

Can people ever be like. Normal about shipping for once?

Are we not just having fun with stories and story potential anymore? Making the blorbos kiss and have drama for fun?

Why are so many people treating it like existing in a constant state of war with strangers whose preferences and opinions just happen to differ from ours is part of the package when there's honestly no fucking need for any of it

#Both haters and shippers frustrate me in basically any fandom I touch these days #The people who get all uppity about canonicity in both directions #The crosstagging of hate into the main ship tags and imposing with headcanons and preferences in other ships' spaces #The harassment and gatekeeping and pettiness of it all #The elitism of gay ships and how any and every inclination of a het ship gets the sibling or mlm + wlw besties trestment #And how people who do ship het ships anyways get treated either with pity and “come over to the good side and like my gay ship with me” #Or outright harassment for made up nonsense reasons #The way a lot of gay ships get sanitized to shit also saddens me bc it removes so much complexity and appeal for me #The misogyny and the racism and the wokescold nonsense that simmers beneath so many ship-heavy fandoms #The way “ugh just let characters remain friends” is always applied with so much selectiveness and petty bias #Why can't people just tag their shit right so that nobody's stepping on anyone's toes #The pettiness and call out posting and witch hunting and cross-tagging just to start beef... I hate it. #Y'all need to chill tf out #chubs rambles #It's not that deep

[armoralor]

lots of misogyny and queerphobia in the Ahsoka tags today, how fun

#“i'm not homophobic” proceeds to list every wlw ship as “cringe” and “toxic” #damn guess i'll just have to be extra gay #the blatant acephobia and biphobia is fucking disgusting too #don't think people don't see all the folks liking and rebloging those shitty posts too #text

[ferocioustrout]

”misandry in fandom” my brother in christ you are making up a problem

#pine shut the fuck up #just saw a post about ‘misandry in fandom’ and like. where. #In pretty much every fandom other than a few exceptions the male characters are more popular than any of the female characters #also I’ve literally never seen a man be hated for getting in the way of a wlw ship. happens to female characters all the time tho!
