Having seen the phenomenon play out IRL with "friends" I used to know from high school growing up? Yes, I can definitely attest to the authenticity of it.

Fan fiction has done a lot of damage to our youth. Out of curiosity I have read some fan fiction involving gay male couples and it’s cliche to have one of the males act like a man and the other male to act like a teenage girl.

Its strange to me not only how unabashedly hetero the material is, but also how rapey it is. Somehow they like that?

There must be something wrong there.

I actually find a lot of fanfic to be vaguely... lesbian-adjacent, I guess? What I mean by that is:

  1. it's written by women, for women
  2. het fanfic is (in my experience, maybe this isn't universal across all fandoms) more often told from the male character's POV—aka the POV of desiring a woman, not the POV of desiring a man.

What does this even mean? Is love between men so alien that it becomes a fantasy somehow? This is so degrading.
