People: [read a Steddie fic]

Steddie Fic: [is about Steddie and the characters in it are largely focused on the Steddie aspect as it is... A fic about Steve and Eddie. Maybe hones in on Robin being the first gay person Steve has probably KNOWN he's fucking met in his entire life and plays on that for his Sexuality Crisis]

People: why do all the characters seem to only care about Steddie? Why do these Steddie fics that are about Steve and Eddie not show the women do anything that aren't about Steve and Eddie? This fandom has a woman problem.

#Like fandom absolutely has a woman problem #But ur rly fucking setting urself up for disappointment if ur looking for fully-formed women in m/m ship fics #Like honestly if ur expecting fully-formed characters other than the main two characters in a ship fic like..... Maybe relax?#Not all fics are gonna be like novels and even then it's like #Sometimes??? Characters are just???? A device for the plot????? And that's OKAY #Like please relax #Like this isn't a REAL ISSUE #I will repeat: FANDOM HAS A WOMAN PROBLEM BUT THE M/M SHIPS (generally) AREN'T THE ISSUE #Like u can say 'I wanna see more fics with Robin doing more than taking care of Steve or being his gay advisor'#W/o being fuckn rude about a majority of Steddie fics ppl wrote in their limited free time in the hell scape that is planet earth #Just to feel a MODICUM of joy #Like that is legit for real a thing #Sorry I know the overly bitchy post I read doesn't rly apply to me and my fic I'm just defensive on behalf of everyone else #Making this non-reblogable bc it's just a vent
