(I've also seen one or two pieces of fetishised F/F erotica written by straight dudes and... it's not good.)<br /><br />Generally, I think we just need *more* rep. - it's much easier to combat bad rep when there's good rep to fall back on. And also, F/F relationships tend to be treated as something dirty or repulsive by some romance readers even when they're 'clean' (i.e. no sex-scenes), when those readers will happily read all sorts of debauched and sexual M/F and M/M (in the abstract/anecdotal/theoretical - no shade to any individuals!) <br /><br />It's changing though - slowly, but it's changing! It's still a lot more difficult to find F/F fanfiction than it should be, but the intro. of more canon F/F relationships means that there's a lot more available than there used to be!Cee Arr @ Dora Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074909561530525221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-3628558510444856902020-04-24T16:57:48.385+01:002020-04-24T16:57:48.385+01:00Also, I’m not sure if this was clear but I’m defin...Also, I’m not sure if this was clear but I’m definitely not saying that fetishization of m/m relationships is a good thing, and that f/f relationships should be as well. It’s basically too extremes where m/m relationships are exploited too much, and f/f relationships get barely any recognition at all.paperbackprincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446601964387517150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-65602775063013587092020-04-24T16:55:59.674+01:002020-04-24T16:55:59.674+01:00Thanks for sharing, Cee!

A lot of m/m relationships are fetishized by straight people, and f/f relationships are just not talked about it all. The book community needs to do better!paperbackprincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446601964387517150noreply@blogger.com
