Me being traumatized and not wanting that to happen to

You are not horrible. And I do not hate you. It is not your fault that it happened. But things that are marked as adult very clearly are not for kids, and if you read it anyway it is on the people who should have been supervising you and did not intervene, or, assuming that you were old enough to know what ‘adult content’ means and chose to engage with stuff produced by adult fans for adult fans, on you for ignoring the warnings.

If a ten year old child goes to a library right now, and walks to the romance section and pulls down a book, that child’s guardians are responsible for saying “Hey now that is not for you.” If that same child comes back at thirteen and, knowing there is content in that book that adults do not want them to read, furtively hides away from guardian’s eyes and reads it anyway, that is not the fault of the library for having that book, or the author for writing it.

I am very sorry you’ve been hurt. But adults are going to produce content for adults, and if you ignore the guidelines set in place to keep kids out of that content, then that’s not the fault of the adults who wrote the stuff.

One day I’ll work out what to do with Nate story wise and I’ll finally have a publishable story I like.

For now, we’re hanging out in Vampire the Masquerade. I don’t even like vampires much.

People keep saying, “what if men did what you did to ghostbusters but the other way around!!!!!” but 1) You can’t. There isn’t one major blockbuster from the past 30 years with enough girls to do that with, and 2) Don’t assume that I wouldn’t completely support an all male cheetah girls reboot

The thing is, any time a movie cast is all women, it’s About Them Being Women. Their womanhood is central to the plot. You can’t swap them out with men because the plot falls apart. An all female cast is always, first and foremost, a group of women. An all male cast is a group of con artists or scientists or pilots or paranormal investigators or lawyers – their personalities drive the plot, not the fact that they’re men. So that’s WHY you can take most all male casts and make them all female without changing the story much. Because men are seen as the default while women are a special separate category.

I could kinda see a genderbent Bound movie though, and IT WOULD BE AWESOME

A lot like actual Bound, in fact. that movie rocks.
