The Female Character & Pairing Appreciation Meme
This is a timely meme if there ever was one! Of course, I'm not talking about anything specifically...uhm, yes. ANYWAY. If you've ever played a female character from a canon dominated by male characters, or even just been a fan of such a character, you've probably noticed something. Your character will never be as popular as the dudes and the bros. You'll have a harder time finding icons, fanart, character studies- in fact, you may even find bashing of your character in disproportionate amounts compared to male canonmates. If you're in games, you may notice people flocking toward your more popular male castmates. You could get left behind when it comes to shipping or smut - or, worst of all, you could be shut out from all CR. That really sucks.
Even on memes, the message is pretty clear. Female characters rarely get the tags their male counterparts do. M/M shipping and smut dominates, and female characters can get called sexist names for daring to show interest in those things.
BUT NO LONGER. This meme is for female characters to get their time in the spotlight. All the lovely ladies are the focus today; you're the ones going to get chased after this time. So whether your poison is angst, fluff, smut, or anything in between, come one, come all. It's ladies' night.
HOW TO PLAY
- Make a comment with your character, canon, preferences, etc.
- Male characters can obviously make top comments to have ladies come to them, but they must be open to m/f. NO M/M ALLOWED.
- Comment to others, making up your own scenario or using the RNG to choose from the ones offered here. Roll once for category, then again
Heroine - She kicks ass, saves the day, and gets the girl/guy in the end!
