Neon Genesis Evangelion is more influential in its medium than any other work of art made in the past 100 years. It's also fucking weird as shit, and its finale is (partly) an extended letter of hate toward its own fanbase. If that's not worth watching, I don't know what is.

@bloomfilters The problem isn't that there's not enough F/F fic "for me," there's already more F/F fic than I'll ever read in my lifetime; the problem is what the relative lack of F/F fic says about fandom as a whole. People are just allergic to any systemic feminist critique of their hobbies.

I wonder how much antipathy to F/F and female characters in general in fandom is the idea that sexual attraction inherently means objectification, and so obsessing over a character (which is assumed to include lusting after them) is only permissible if they're a man?

What's annoying about the trans radfem discourse is it's really a proxy war for "should trans women perceive themselves and act in the world as primarily trans/queer, or as primarily women?" But instead of debating that directly people are shadowboxing around 1970s terfs.

You can easily interpret her as just having platonic feelings for El4n. Miorine is the only character she's clearly shown to be in love with.
