A femslash fan in BNHA! Courage haha i did see screenshots going around of ochako and the scary knife girl having a tragic moment some time ago and i hope that was a win(?) for you
I see the quadrant square floating before my eyes, I love it.
And no so true, like we know people shy away from truly toxic or violent yuri because of the discomfort with women being violent but the f/f aspect specifically... Part of me wonders if it has to do with people wanting their f/f fiction to be escapist (therefore fluffy?) but I am also of the mind that in order for something to be escapist AND have substance, the escapism should reveal something about the structural elements of the world it is escaping from rather than just be about vibes.
And EXACTLY about genderswaps having so much potential to just be an outpouring of the author's internalized ideas about gender. A shame when there's so much room to play with them! I feel like I've seen some really interesting and compelling takes about what the core aspects of a character is because of genderswaps specifically and I can only hope I continue to see such things.
Thank you so much for responding with your thoughts! Seriously appreciate the discussion.
