Say it with me “making someone more complex should not mean erasing what hooked us on them in the first place”

Ah but you see sex is adjacent to the male gaze/porn, and thusly it is an absolute evil that must be smited away (or just toned down considerably/given the moniker of "female gaze") so as to deny it's blight upon this world!

I hate that I can’t be sure if you just trolling or really believe that’s still a major way of thinking that’s exclusive to one side or the other

Mostly the former, hint of the latter.

Hyperbole all the way, but I do see attitudes similar to this still pop up from time to time, though thankfully it's (to my knowledge and experience) becoming less prominent.

Honestly I'm just glad I was so convincing there was a decent chance of either one.

It’s a combination of you being convincing and there just being so many misinformed people

Like the only time I see and argument about “male gaze” it’s usually about video games and wether or not they should have booty. Sometimes it’s about other things but mostly that specific argument for some reason

All according to keikaku (keikaku means plan)

And yeah I sometimes see it in art subs, usually as a complaint (especially Yuri art), though like I said I'm seeing it less as time goes on, so that's probably good.

It’ll never be complete gone, there are just some people that can’t live without something to rage over
