Mar. 27th, 2010 10:17 pmGaaah! I hate misogyny in fic!
People get upset when it gets pointed out that some slashers are misogynists. I know that many (hopefully most) slashers aren't.
But, people? When the only women in your fic are horrible, backstabbing, petty, immoral bitches? If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's a fucking misogynist duck.
This brought to you by the Atlantis fic I just read half of, in which Teyla never appeared and in which Keller got her revenge on McKay for breaking up with her by passing a note outing Sheppard to a homophobic Marine she knew to be mentally unstable because she'd altered his records so he could stay in Atlantis and owe her. There were some warning signs, but when it all started coming together... gah.
(To console myself, I am using my Honor Harrington icon. The world needs more heroines.)
