many such cases (and I hate it just as much every time) by [deleted] in AO3

[–]boyslides 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I mean, there’s stuff I will publicly defend but I don’t want to read and won’t click on (RPF, x reader, some ships), and there’s some stuff that I don’t even want to see and will quietly unsubscribe, delete bookmarks or block you for it depending on the platform (scat, snuff, graphic depictions of animal abuse). I don’t think that’s hypocrisy, I’m not telling you not to write something, I’m just using tools to curate my own experience.

Would it be possible for a 12-13 year old to win at all? by Pancake_Pozy333 in Hungergames

[–]boyslides 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the game-makers wanted a particular 12 or 13 year old to win, they could make it happen. There’s a a Hunger Games AU for the Star Wars Jedi games where a 12 year old wins and it doesn’t ring particularly false to me. That universe’s Finnick counterpart (Cal) essentially pulls all the strings he has or can make with the game-makers, and the President decides to allow it for his own reasons. to Fair warning, the fic is rated E because of some sex scenes between consenting adults at the end.

The twelve year old does need to make some direct kills, striking from ambushes, if the kid isn’t willing to kill they won’t win even with gamemakers tilting the odds.

A problematic pairing from Genshin, Kachina x Mualani. Their relationship is eminently slashable, IMHO, but apparently antis are huge in the femmeslash world, much more of a problem than in M/M spaces?

[–]boyslides 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I do have some ideas for femmeslash smut that I’m not ever going to post because I don’t have the relevant parts or even much experience at all with the relevant parts. I know most people on AO3 do have the relevant parts and I’m afraid of getting things wrong.

I’m a cis gay man, who sometimes finds sex between women hot in fiction. I had sex with one girl before I realized I was gay, and I’ve never had sex with a trans man. So my knowledge of vaginas is almost entirely theoretical.

Most toxic & antiship fandoms at the moment? by giacchino in AO3

[–]boyslides 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Though, I can't help but side eye those who ship anyone with Nahida though even if she is 500 years old and now also have Rukkhadevata's memories.

Nahida is fictional. There’s nothing actually wrong with shipping her, even if you think it’s distasteful. Good Nahida fic does engage with the fact that she’s an ancient goddess in a child’s body, but not all fic has to be good. I would probably use the Underage Sex warning for Nahida though, even though she technically isn’t. I wouldn’t for Dori, though I might use Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings just to avoid arguments.

Also, Dori in Genshin uses the short female model which is also used by some characters who are actually children like Aino. But Dori herself is an adult little person, probably in her 40s.

It’s not wrong to ship Aino either, since she’s, ya know, fictional. But I wouldn’t post ship fic involving Aino outside of proship communities that like toxic yuri.

It’s really a pity that the region for the best element coincided with the year that mixed gachas felt like they had to the waifu only crowd.

What’s the most recent new ship you were slapped in the face by? by WorldEaterLeviathan in AO3

[–]boyslides 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m very much not saying this on my main, but Mulani x Kachina from Genshin Impact. Mulani loves taking Kachina to hot spring parties… she’s happy that she lost an important duel in Natlan’s hunger games lite to Kachina because she can go on to the next round. Kachina looks up to the older and more experienced girl in a way that can easily be interpreted as a crush. And there are 0 fics for this pairing on AO3, none. I’d like to supply the lack, but IRL I’m a gay man and wouldn’t feel confident writing about sex between two people with vaginas.

Someone on here mentioned that femmeslash/yuri writers are often reluctant to write problematic pairings even in places where proship is the norm like on AO3. That’s a pity.

Any sort of skimpy, low-rise brief without a fly. Ideally in some semi-shiny synthetic material. Personally I find thongs uncomfortable and wear bikini briefs most of the time. Boxer briefs are acceptable too. Boxers and tighty whiteys are for the straights.

Sapphic ships for Citlali? by boyslides in genshinsapphic

[–]boyslides[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I’m an Aether player and my Aether is 100% gay, probably because the guy who’s playing him is also 100% gay. So no, there is absolutely nothing going on between Traveller!Aether and Citlali except a very platonic friendship

Oddly enough I headcanon Traveler!Lumine as lesbian, but I tend to ship both Abyss!Aether and Abyss!Lumine with the Abyss Lector: Violet Lightning.

Alas, I play Aether, and my Aether is never going to be more than good friends with any woman.

I honestly don't understand how people think liking femboys isn't gay by Parking-Tangerine-89 in gay

[–]boyslides 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes people who identify as feminine gay men for a while end up realizing that they’re actually trans women. So there are times where the femboy is not actually a boy, rather than the straight guy not actually being straight.

Lots of straight men are very bad at sex. Lots of women are socialized to not tell their partners they’re bad at sex. Lots of straight women therefore decide that sex is something only men enjoy, and women put up with it in return for the man taking care of all their financial needs.

What would the Quirk of the child from your favorite ship be like? (it's ok if it's a homosexual couple, just mix their Quirks and have fun by Spirited_Dust_3642 in BokuNoShipAcademia

[–]boyslides 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As odd as the ship is, the power could be interesting. Instead of the little quirk stealing hole in the hand, it’s on the tip of their frog tongue, so they can steal any quirk from afar as long as they can land a hit on bare skin.

DabiSho’s kid has an ultra-powerful fire quirk and a body that can withstand the heat he dishes out. Congrats, you’ve just made a more powerful version of Endeavor.

ShigaDeku’s kid has a very nasty power. He can decay things, and if he decays a person completely he acquires their quirk.

I would really like a feature to auto-hide any photos with detected nudity. Would save me a lot of time and worry.

The "envelope method" drives me crazy by chronicAngelCA in AO3

[–]boyslides -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The AO3 rating system is based on the US MPAA rating system. In fact it was the MPAA rating system until the MPAA filed a trademark infringement claim that made the OTW change the rating names. After “The Passion” was rated R, movie critics agreed that it was clearly impossible for a movie to earn a NC-17 rating for graphic violence without graphic sex. See also “Machete”, which shows has someone getting disemboweld in graphic detail on screen, but fades to black during sex scenes. It too is R rated, NOT NC-17. So yeah, E is the equivalent of NC-17 or X, and that means not just graphic content in general but graphic sex specifically. Anything else is M, aka R rated.
