'I added nice men to my book because I was uncomfortable when I realized the only men in it were the bad guys, I didn't want to do accidental misandry' Ah the not-gonna-make-it demographic at it again.

I add "good" men that show later that they are just as bad if not worse than every other man, because we all know one or two of those.

To avoid accidents, I do intentional misandry.

Writing a nice guy into the story, and trick audiences into thinking he'll be important only to horribly kill him off for kicks.

There was a gaggle the other day bitching about the opposite, for some reason.

Like, weirdly angry at trans women writing stories with few men, and/or the men in the stories being awful

What? Men being horrible AND suffering the consequences? That feels like a bigger issue. In writing, he can straight up "forgive" a male stalker if his mom didn't hug him. But we will throw a woman in the dirt if she disagrees with Ms. Pick me.

They should do the misandry. On purpose.

Cowards. Whenever you feel the impulse to put a good man in a story, add 2 bad ones to be murdered later.

Ah, but I'm sure they have a jealous ex character who is needlessly rude and takes it out of her ex. Her only trait is also "crazy bitch."

so misandry is when men are bad guys? then I guess we have a lot of misandry irl

Is it a desperation to please men, or fear of being seen as a 'man-hating bitch'? So curious.

i want to say both, but it usually just boils down to a desperation to please men anyway

It's a shame because the loudest shitearse guys are gonna assert both anyway irrespective of the work's contents if it's not got a level of "oh, men are the bestest and all feminine types think only of them" going on.

You add good men to your queer fiction to appease the patriarchy. I add good (trans) men to my queer fiction as a love letter to all the cool trans dudes I know. We are not the same

or centering men to the point of not being able to imagine a story without them in every important role? there are so many ways to be dumb

Stuff I write has a lot of nice men in it but that's cause I want them to be there, not out of some bizarre misplaced sense of fairness (nice men who do not get romantically involved with any lesbians)

I just have no men in my writing tbh (GO only has one because he exists to get beaten up and have half his bones broken, because it's funny)

the one guy in Cert is like. the main character's gamer friend from before she came out who stuck with her when the in-game social group cut her off when she came out. we don't know his name, only his online handle. otherwise, not a man to be found

I think fictional characters should have a role in the story, even if it's minor, and you can't please every demographic, so don't treat character creation like a checklist...

Sometimes a villain is a good guy if he directs his anger towards the rich and real criminals.
