Lol. No. It's definitely expected at this point. It was subversion of expectation for me the first few times I read gender benders, which was a decade ago. Hell, I'm a little wary of gender benders these days in part BECAUSE I expect this.

Well, you're allowed to think, read and write that ofc. But the rest of us are also allowed to feel burnt out on what feels like not just a bait and switch, but one that's starting to feel old.

It is your artistic right to make this interpretation.

Hell yeah it is. I can't even imagine how many world wars we must've avoided because we were too busy criticizing fictional premises and figuring out our issues in that relatively neutral setting rather than criticizing, y'know, the real people, issues and premises they were based on. Art, the...

Gay people? IN MY GL???? *gasp* *horrified pearl clutching* *exaggerated fainting* *the crowd screams in terror in the background*

It really sums up the entire issue that I can't even tell which side of the argument you're on.

Yah but that's also why some people tend to dislike it. It's introducing a premise but then abandoning the premise.

It's art. Half the point of art is to be enjoyed, the other half is for humans to have something to criticize that isn't each other.

Yeah there's definitely a very... reductionistic view of women in this genre. Which is fine, sure, but I can personally only read so many stories about a boring 'normal' guy genderbent into a girl only to hang around other lolis whose entire character can be summarized as 'female knight'...

Your signature is amazing. Truly a signature among signatures.

And this is the same forum where people will sit down and take sides on the ethics of issues like cannibalism and incest.

The world is a lot bigger than American gender politics. Like, even the part of the world that is politically ok with LGBTQ stuff is a lot bigger than American gender politics. Even LGBTQ Americans living in American gender politics is a lot more than just what you see on the self-admitted...

Is your life generally in order? Do you eat healthy? Do you exercise? Do you regularly see daylight? Do you avoid electronic devices after x o clock and stay away from doomscrolling? If not, go fix that basic human needs shit, nothing will help you if you don't. You don't need to be a health...

After Sun/Moon. I was planning to get Sw/Sh but a few of my friends were passionately ranting about how bad the storyline was and that was always the main draw for me.

Hey, if people love them, then they're awesome.

Only if it's an investment, beneficial for me in the future. If the tutorial is three days long and all I get is three days of food and housing, I might as well just become an unpaid farm intern and get food and housing that way. If the tutorial genuinely gives me a leg up in life somehow and...

Honestly a much more logical division of labor, ngl. If men are stronger but not necessarily smarter, women having time-consuming leadership and political positions is the resource efficient way to go for people who haven't invented engines yet.

Been thinking about a plot that involves fantasy nobility. I was originally just going to grab the titles of English nobility but they feel a bit ill-fitting since my world doesn't adhere strictly to patrilinear monarchy/nobility. But if I do that I might as well just re-write the rules of...

All of the above, tbh.

Probably not allowed lol But you MIGHT have a chance if you change the poses enough that I don't have to look twice to just guess that they MIGHT not be going at it second base. As long as that's what it looks like at first glance, your cover is fucked for sure.
