I've had a strip like this in my mind for a while, but with a recent rash of fanboy backlash against the beast that is rule 34 I've experienced, I figured it would be appropriate to address this. I can't say I'm fond of the sentiment that lingers around that fandom is a man's domain, especially since there's been an explosion of girls in fandom, and it's only going to get bigger. I hate calling out sexism because I don't want to be labeled as one of those progressiver-than-thou, super-defensive LJers that can't take a joke, but it still bugs me.
We can objectify and drool over fictional characters as much as you can, you know. We just want in on the fun.

It's so bad that, I shit you not, I've seen guys get pissed off over girls who draw FEMslash
Never men who draw it, oh no
It's always the fangirls who are evidently ruining everything
We should learn not to have any sexual interests and stay out of fandoms like good girls :C

I think it's great that girls are getting in on the action.
Especially since, you know, it's basically been TOO MANY DICKS ON THE DANCE FLOOR for forever.
Though what ever happened to hetero shipping? The guys want lesbians and the girls want gays... I kinda like it when its a traditional relationship every now and then...

capt.america has liberty 'roids so he's cheating.
and i was never manly in the first place so there's no probs with me having it turned inside out and fassioned into a vagina-esque nook.
sides my brain says i should have a vagina anyway so who am i to argue with it. it's my freaking brain, any arguement i could make without it would be stupid :I

I must say I hate people like Katie who are like 'Omg this is the TRUE pairing you ttly know it and isn't it awesome I'm a GIRL and a NERD. I'm to sexy right? Right? I mean look it! I'm a GIRL who likes NERDY THINGS!!!'
But perhaps that's because I saw so many 'Lol I'm a GIRL GAMER isn't that hotttttt?' in Halo way back when.

Your point is a really good one. I find it ironic when people comment on how there are no girls on the internet/certain fandom, and when there are, people either lash out at said girls or always think that they are just doing it for attention.
It's kind of sad, really. On a personal note, I want more female friends (I have a lot of interests and I like having a unique group of friends) who like these kinds of things but I find it difficult because I feel like I'm ending up as their friend just because they are a girl, not because I like their personality.

It's a terrible double standard.
To be fair, there are girls who kind of take things to far, but for girls who are kind of in the middle and not near this extreme...well, they get the same kind of treatment. Like, if girls enjoy porn of fictional male characters, they're horny sluts, but if a guy enjoys porn of female characters, that's normal.
Ugh.

From what I've heard, girls have just as much horniness as guys do, they just hide it better (usually) because of how society is. I personally believe that guys and girls are pretty much the same personality-wise (despite the obvious anatomy differences but that's irrelevant here) but interests between the sexes rarely overlap simply because of how our upbringings are.
On a side note, wanna be friends?

Actually, I find it refreshing to have gay dudes in fandom writing slash. There's this stigma that apparently only women write slash and actual gay men look down upon women who do. So when there is a gay dude who is a slash artist or writer, I tend to embrace him, as do a lot of my fandom friends.
Of course, you know, it helps with some leverage, since you will here people who hate slash say "REAL GAY MEN THINK THIS IS DUMB YOU SHOULD BE AHSAMED." As if the entire gay community is some sort of hivemind.

Wait... seriously?
What fandom was this, because I am half tempted to track these fuckers down and whack them upside the head with the common sense stick.
I can tell you for sure that the branch of TF2 fandom that produced slash and porn openly embraces gay dudes. Hell, one of the greatest writefags on the chan is a 36 year old gay man.

There were three or four I was dedicated to, and honestly it's been so long I don't even remember which one it was. I do recall having a long IM argument with a gal who said all men are rapists because they all possess a weener, which can be used for rapes. "Even Gandhi?" I would ask her. "Even my 92 year old granddad? Even a gay dude?"
She seemed to honestly believe this, which made me rather sad. What a world she had constructed for herself! Of course, all human beings have thumbs, which allow us to hold knives, so I guess that means all humans are murderers.

Good Jesus. She seems to be almost like Alex_Reynard by way of her hatred of the opposite sex. FICTIONAL MEN ARE RATIONAL AND WILL NOT HURT ME LIKE REAL ONES.
Shit would never be tolerated on TF2chan. Hell, I once invited
Painting_Bird into the Steam chat and when he confirmed that he was a gay dude they made him a member on the spot.

That would be the current definition of 'gamer girl', as opposed to simply gamer that happens to be a girl.
"I'm a GIRL and I play GAMES! I love Guitar Hero, Halo, and World of Warcraft! Don't hit on me, silly boys!"
Yyyyyyyyyyyyyeah, I really don't like them. And don't get me started on that book. GUH.....

For fuck's sake someone had to say it. There's this little trickle of people on tf2chan lately who seem to think their anti-slash and/or anti-girls-who-make-slash bitching is really valid input around those parts. Where the hell do they come from anyway?
Lol @ gamers who still think gaming is a straight boy's club.

I admit to playing up the fact that I am a female gamer. Usually for those stupid 'introduce yourself to the class and tell us something interesting about yourself' things our college professors tend to do. >< Of course. I stand up with boobs and say "I'm a rounded gamer". So. I guess that's still playing it up. It's managed to get me friends whose systems I can mooch off of and found me a D&D group. For the guys who actually know me. There are many, many.. MANY chick cracks. Usually after I've said or done something intelligent. Or kicked their ass at something. Then they ask why I'm not in the kitchen making them a sandwich. XD At any other time, I am told quite forwardly, "You are not a girl. You are a dude with long hair." I'm pretty sure if I stood up at those times and stripped down, they'd still try and argue my having female bits. Oo
Wow. I realise the truth in that, but it's just so sad. There's two standard displays of idiocy heree:
1. OMG, you're a girl who's into this!? Marry me!! or
2. Blargh, you can't do this because you're a girl. Boo Hiss!
Also, in RL nerd congregations, this also applies:
1. No girls allowed, girls ruin everything!*
* I'm mortally afraid of women. If she's going to be here I'll be constantly afraid of her making fun of me for acting like a baby. This was my sanctum damnit!

I dunno, if I were a lonely pizza-faced homophobic gamer boy I would DEFINITELY get my spider-man boxers up in a bunch if some of those frightening girl creatures started getting all the attention and producing ghey content of my fave soopah heroes or game characters. What I don't understand is why a lot of these hypothetical lady nerdz are often so ambivalent/outright antagonistic toward other girls, whether real or fictional. Also "EW HET IS SO GROSS AND BORING, UNLIKE MY YAOI FAN-COMIC WHERE SOLDIER AND SPY ARE IN HIGH SCHOOL TOGETHER AND SPY CRIES WHEN HE GETS IT IN THE POOPER :3 ^_^".
Oh great a GIRL in the fandom.
now she's probably going to rattle on about it 24/7 and not get the jokes because she's too AIR HEADED to understand the DEEP PSYCHOLOGICAL ROOTS of this particular fist rupturing this eyeball on page 23.
I've always sorta been that "girl in the fandom" and it can get a little awkward, especially since my Assistant Manager at Gamestop always expects me to not know anything about anything.
I AM NOT ALLOWED TO KNOW BECAUSE I AM FEMALE.

YOU CAN'T BE A GIRL AND BE ON THE INTERNET, SO YOU MUST REALLY BE A MAN.
In all seriousness though, I'm one of those dudes who only really minds slash when there's no logic behind it even if it ain't canon. That, or when people insist that because they like the pairing it absolutely MUST be canon.

Which is what makes me glad that while I'm a fan of many things, I only consider myself in a few fandoms. Don't have to deal with so many of the "OMG LOOK AT MAI OC HE/SHE IS TTLY DATING <insert major character who either has no indication of a love life or already has a canon significant other> AND ITZ TTLY CANON KAY YOUCAN'T PAIR UR OWN CHARACTUR WIT MAI LOVR" in the more obscure fandoms like Silverwing or the various writings of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
You just be as horny and crazy and obsessed as you want hon. We're all on the same side here. We all love our fantasy characters a bit too much, and want to do things to them that you couldn't do IRL even if they existed or even if you could bend the laws of physics enough to allow some of what you want. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY
You're one of the good ones.
You're one of the good ones.
I'm with ya here. I frickin' HATE these kind of fanboys. Their whole "THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO ENJOY THIS MOVIE/COMIC BOOK/ANIME/ VIDEO GAME, AND IF YOU DON'T ENJOY IT IN THIS PARTICULAR WAY, YOU'RE NOT A REAL FAN AND DON'T BELONG IN OUR/MY FANDOM!" way of thinking is what drove me from anime and manga when I was kid. Of course, it drove me straight into the arms of American comic books and the comic book fandom, so it wasn't ALL bad.
