#real #not to be salty but this is what ive been saying#like everyone out here really still acting like fanfic isnt really writing#like its subpar and like it cant be good and have amazing lines#even fanfic writers treat it like its LESS and like theyre PLAY writing and not actually writing#like friend buddy ican ASSURE YOU that fanfic is every bit as real and good as writing from books#the only difference between fic and actual books is that books go through several stages of processing and editing and filtering#and are worked on by professionals who studied the craft of editing#while fanfiction cuts that filtering and everyone gets a chance to be heard and to be read#and instead of editors we have peer editing and reviewing#dont be fucking tricked by the mass notion that anything that young girls and queer people are interested in is immediately bad and subpar#bc it is fucking not #i will FIGHT for it #fanfiction (tags by @crossroadswrite bacause they add so much to this post)

The real irony is there is plenty of fanfiction that goes through more rigorous editing than some published fiction. So the difference in quality between fanfiction and “professional writing” is totally arbitrary and made up. Except that some things that are more expensive are worse.

I always see posts about people talking about how tampon and pads ads have girls on beaches and things like that.

And yet in Australia we have really ridiculous advertisements for sanitary products that have girls running around doing shit and this guy

The really sad thing is, guys at school started copying him, and it got the point where if you needed a pad or tampon, you’re guy friends were as likely to help you out as your girlfriends… 

Not that sad if u think about it. What you just described sounds pretty great and nearly compassionate honestly

Espessually considering if an american boy so much as sees a clean unopened tampon he freaks the fuck out like its a diseased yucksponge and will actively avoid you for the rest of his life
