ugh not to have a Hot Take TM but I cannot help but roll my eyes and immediately click off of any fanfic that has to put down the male main character to make the female main character better by comparison.

Especially when in the source material the two are similar/on an even playing field in canon.

What's weird is I usually only see this in the m/f ship fic I read? To my knowledge I have not read any m/m or f/f fic that does this. Not saying it does not exist but that i have not seen it.

And it's one of those things that's like "ok am I just feeling this way bc misogyny or is it actually annoying" and I've decided its just actually annoying. I hate it when fics and even original fiction have to put down one half of a ship or duo or certain main character to boost the other.

And when I say "put down" I usually mean the male character gets treated as not just weaker, but less intelligent, or canon strengths taken away and/or given to the female half of the duo.

Vice versa would also be annoying if I ever read it. But so far, I have not read it vice versa, actually.

its just. weird. Give me my m/f power couples pls and thank you.

#shutuplanx #maybe its bc i am SUPER PICKY w how my m/f ships go but like #I HATE IT when one side is made way weaker than the other in all things.#less intelligent less wise less strong etc etc etc #i hate it when the f part of m/f ships get made into stupid dolls and i hate it vice versa too #i wonder if its bc the majority of ff writers are women and lemme tell you i love my powerful women characters too but like.#not at the expense of my other characters #then again i am a fan of writing characters with strengths more than just physical or magical #theres a reason a lot of my stories have underpowered MC who end up becoming the most bamfs in the story lolol
