Can I just say that as a female that runs a male muse, I find it extremely extremely that female muses get no attention 90% of the time in this community? I have a lot of respect for people with female muses because they’re not easy. Really. They’re fucking not.
Female muses get a lot more bullshit than male muses. I’m not even joking. You write a female complaining in one sentence and she’s naggy. You write a male doing the same thing and he’s just “stating his opinion.” You smut as a female, OOP, your muse is a slut and easy. You do it as a male, oh hot damn. Look at how hot this man is hnnnnnng. You write a girl with trust issues, she’s a bitch. You write a male like that oh he’s just “broken.”
NO.
NO.
NO.
NO.
FUCK. NO!
That is not true. Not in the slightest and I hate to say it but that female muse that’s complaining might be right, that female muse that’s smutting might have had to work hard to trust that muse, that female muse that’s hurt might have lost a brother, or a mother, or a best friend. It does not give you the right to judge another person’s muse based off their gender.
In this community we talk about wanting equal rights but look at the way we treat female muses. We judge them and ridicule them straight from the get go. If we can’t expect to give another person’s character equal rights to a male how the fuck can we expect people to give equal rights to actual people?! We can’t. And until we start opening our eyes and realizing how much shit we put even female characters through, we cannot expect equal rights for everyone.
I’m not a feminist in the slightest but seriously this is some bullshit and I call bullshit on this topic.
