#btw unrealistic angst in fiction I call

So I haven't watched season three yet. I was trying to decide to watch it or not for about two weeks. You see I have this thing where I avoid watching something if I find out it will rip my heart out and dance on it (especially if I feel they ramp up angst to unrealistic levels). And I've found out some non-detailed spoilers that promise that S3 will do just that.
I know, I know, I'm not “a real fan” if I'm not watching one of my favourite series and/or characters no matter what writers do to them. Well, I was “a real fan” once, and then I decided that pain is not worth of that honourable title. I've avoided several seasons and couple of films since then and I'm very happy about it. I don't see why I would have obligation to watch something just cos I liked installments that came before.
On other hand TMitHC has that escape clause where parallel universes theory is confirmed so there are billions of universes with all sort of outcomes out there. One we are shown is merely one possibility or even just variant of one possibility. Also while there are flaws, series is still one of the best I've ever watched so there is that.
In the end I decided to write some meta I've been putting off forever, and get it out of me without any new stuff clouding my mind. Shouldn't take longer than month or so. Possibly less. After that, I'll see how I feel about watching S3.  
Until then I'll post and re-blog only vague posts about S3 together with stuff from S1-2.
P.S. If there are ones who think I'm silly for investing so much in characters, how it's just a series and I should lighten up and similar nonsense, it seems they missed name of my blog. And if some from those who are new here (btw hello newcomers hope you have fun here:) are wondering if I'm aware that my favourite characters are in many ways very bad people, and literal Nazis on top of that, yes I am well aware, thank you. Doesn't change a thing for me, I'm afraid.

(this is not a request don't fret kkkkk) but would you ever write a ff about a very rude (the stereotype of the kinda sexist disrespectful fuckboy) that OC tames? THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT DON'T GET ME WRONG I love your fics but the men... They're unrealistically nice. Most of them are jerks. So it's something I've noticed in your stories, how the men are always not misogynistic?? Hence I thought I'd be interesting to see how you'd handle a story with a male lead like that. I love your fics btw
+ I forgot to mention that I know you've written enemies to lovers before, or mature topics. I was talking about something more like a very rude man as a man. Not my piece of cake either, but since I love your writing, it'd be great to see it.
Sorry I took so long to reply! Honestly at first I didn't know what to say. I mean, I don't like misonystic men. I find sexism rather unattractive. However, I see where you're coming from, and as much as I despise them, I can't say I don't find it satisfying to humble such a man.
With all of this said, even if what we write is fiction, I as a writer don't feel comfortable romanticising certain things.
If you also read dom!male ffs, you might have encountered several stories where abuse is turned into a sexual dynamic. Of course, it's fiction, and sometimes is consented within the narrative. I personally feel incredibly violent reading that stuff, so even if I were into dom!male ffs, I probably wouldn't read it anyways. Just as I don't like to read sub!male fics where the same kind of abuse takes place.
Now – and I know you probably didn't even want such a long reply, sorry 😭 – I don't like only fluffy stuff! You could even say I'm more into angst.
But the thing is, every single day I get out of bed and I have to put up with misogyny, catcalling, the fear of being drugged at a party, men being patronising and putting me down because I'm a woman. And I hate it, I hate it so much. So, I don't think I'll make the male lead of one of my fics, my personal cource of relief and peace, a sexist jerk for the sake of realism or the flimsy satisfaction of 'taming' a man.
There's this famous quote by Margaret Atwood about how everything is pretty much a male fantasy – and that itself is an act of dominance. I like my men respectful and nice, and flawed of course, but just as I wouldn't make them racist or queerphobic, I sure as hell don't fantasise about sexist men.
I mean, I do like the concept of taming a man who dislikes everyone, or a man who is overall rude. But when that hatred is directed at a community in specific, babe, that's bigotry.
Anyways, thanks for the ask! It was a great topic to discuss, and I'm glad you love my stories, I love writing them for yall❤️
Edit:
I forgot to mention that the stereotype of the misonystic fuckboy is outdated af. It's too 2010s for me lol nowadays you're either a toxic guy with black painted nails or an incel who goes around calling strangers a simp and had an identity crisis because suddenly liking underage anime girls 'is weird now'.
So, point is, if I wanted to tame a misonystic man I'd just call my dad and explain to him why catcalling is wrong even when it's not directed to his daughters.
