Can any human domestication guide fans confirm whether this is accurate?
“and to goon to” is listed as a secondary reason, but I assure you that it is the primary reason while being a plot device is secondary at best.
See, I knew that when I first heard of them months ago, but just today I learned apparently the Affini aren’t the protagonists? Apparently it’s against the wiki rules to write stories about Affini culture and politics, because their whole society outside of the florets is noodle incidents?
I assumed the Affini were nuanced and relatable characters because I need to understand someone’s internality in order to goon to them, but apparently the fanbase is all submissives who don’t like to think about politics?
I gotta say, if that’s the case I prefer the Culture a million times more. Minds keep humans as pets but also have political intrigues going on that the story is actually about. And they can still be hot!
you’ve just compared a series of critically acclaimed novels to ao3 original, have some shame
Hey, I’ll have you know fetish fanfics and community writing projects can be amazing. Look at SCP’s Antimemetics Division, or… um… well I want to give an example of the former but I don’t want to make my kink list known to lemmy…
But anyway, if HDG writers can spend 10 hours worldbuilding a feminine plant penis but draw the line at portraying the character doing her job… well I’m afraid the transbians have re-invented misogyny. Fetishising a character whose internal world you refuse to explore is what men have been doing to women for the past 3000 years. We’re just reducing dominant women to sex objects instead of all women this time.
all i’m saying, i won’t be taking reading recommendations from 196 chat from now on
