Man all it takes is an anime with pretty boys getting popular for all that internalized misogyny to jump out huh, I see how it is
Like trust me I'm so TIRED, I don't want to talk about this but if we don't call it what it is then we're just accepting that sort of behavior and I can't do that, I'm sorry, I've seen how Yoi fans were treated, I will not accept a repeat
There's this belief, subconscious or not, that women should only take up a certain amount of space - in this case, on the internet - and when they DARE to take up more and bother NORMAL PEOPLE with their interests? That's unacceptable, they need to be put back in their place
Listen, I get it, there are countless series I've seen spammed all over my TL and all I could think of was "wow I'm sick of this" but that's why muting exists.
Twitter in general sucks for fandoms bc back on tumblr we could tag everything and keep everything contained but alas

What's scary to me is how many people seem to have this... intense anger for the series? Just because something they don't care about is popular?
It's not a regular "not my thing" or "I don't wanna see it" - it's this intense conviction that NOT liking it makes them BETTER

And usually this response would come from elitist dudebros, who hate anything slightly mainstream but no - it's coming from other josei-muke fans and that's the scary part.
Feel free to not like it or mute it but god I beg you, reconsider being angry just bc something is popular
