shounen writers when writing about Just 2 Bros Who Are Just Really Good Friends: they are the sun and moon, day and night. one is sunlight and the other is his shadow. one cannot exist without the other. no matter how far they go, how many lifetimes pass, their souls will always wander back to each other. they are two sides of the same coin. they belong with each other and are soulmates. they’re each others most cherished person. 

shounen writers when writing about het ships: she was the only girl member in their team so obviously then ended up together

You know what’s messed up? People make fun of women for reading romance novels in which men are kind, chivalrous and sexually generous to the women they love, but men watching violent hardcore porn where women choke on dicks is considered normal, and ‘shaming’ someone for it is considered more taboo than the porn itself.
And women reading romance novels has certainly yet to lead to a culture where men are considered lesser if they don’t emulate the men in the pages.
I wonder the fuck why.

Holy shit I’ve never put these two things together before now

And men keep conflating the two like “oh men get unrealistic ideas from porn? well women get unrealistic ideas from rom coms!!” like yes Nigel your fantasies about hurting and degrading women sexually are entirely comparable to women dreaming of mutual love and affection
