The Effects of Fanfiction

Jul 11, 2007 12:15

Fanfiction, specifically slash fanfiction, has a similar effect on women to romance novels.

Girls read fic after fic, and it warps their standards as to what a relationship should be. They're reading about these perfect relationships, and they find that their relationships don't fit these high standards.

They abandon perfectly good relationships, because they know that there's better. They want the sort of thing they've read about.

And then they all end up alone.
