Once again with feeling
Dear hetero women in fandom:
Hi.
I'm a queer female fan.
Yes, we exist.
Yes, we are in your fandom drooling at your bishies.
No, we don't appreciate it when you imply or outright say that all female fans like cock. I mean, fuck. Normally I just shrug and grin and bear it when someone says shit like this. I'm a sexual minority, after all, and if I yelled at every damn person who erased my existence I'd get nothing else done, like, ever. Seriously. There would not be enough spoons in this universe or any that parallel it, including the ones where gay is the default and hetero women are constantly telling queer women not to assume that everyone with a pussy likes pussy.
But when it happens in fandoms that have a huge yaoi/boy's love/m/m following, then, I'm sorry, but I lose patience. If you're getting off to two guys being together then, I'm sorry, but you need to know enough about queer people to know that 1) straight is not the god damned default, 2)most queer people don't really appreciate it when you assume this and 3) when you're running around without your pants on, a queer person is probably watching and shaking his/her/hir/ou head or gritting their teeth in frustration because, lol wow, you've just erased them again1 Just like people do to us every god damned day that starts with a consonant.
Queer people aren't just here for your entertainment. If you like fic and art featuring us, then it would behoove you to give a damn about our feelings and yoiur words that oppress and hurt us.
tl;dr: Check your damn privilege already. Because your bare hetero ass is really not that attractive.
