And another one!

[coalcube]

I see my nemesis getting a fic that I love
And I'm like, "Fuck you" 
I guess my 10k letter wasn't enough
I'm like, "Fuck you and fuck morbane, too"
Said, "If I was a long commenter, they woulda gamed for me"
Ha, now ain't that some shit?
(Ain't that some shit?)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still comment it's the best
And runs to coal to shout "Fuck you"

Re: requests ranking game - Barbie

[(Anonymous)]

I’m the coalie who almost signed up for a movie I hadn’t seen at the deadline, then watched it and was glad I hadn’t, and that movie was Barbie. I was already wondering why so damn much of the movie revolved around Ken (a big mistake imo) and then most people want fic about him instead? Feels like everyone is unintentionally proving like, the most basic point here.

nayrt

I'm both satisfied with Barbie's arc in the movie and uninterested in reading a random writer's take on feminism, therefore I'm not looking for fic about Barbie. On the other hand, the movie did not include Ken making out with Ken, so I would like to read about that.

because writing women is clearly always about the writer trying to make a point on feminism, right? nobody does so simply because they enjoy it.

Barbie was very much a Movie About Feminism.

ayrt
Nonny, the entire damn movie is about feminism, the chances of it popping up as a theme IS higher than average.

and why is it that you think it more likely when requesting barbies more than kens? mind you, nobody said you had to request margot's barbie, cy-originally-rt only said you're proving the point.

If you’re this bored, coalie, why not write a drabble for someone who did request Barbie?

Re: requests ranking game - Barbie

I'm neither bored nor someone who cares about barbie, specifically. I didn't offer this. it's just incredibly disingenuous to pretend that barbie was in the feminism movie while ken somehow wasn't, and requesting the kens making out won't get you feminism101 fic, but requesting the barbies making out somehow will.

I can tell from your comments how much you truly do not care.

Coalie... it's been days.

That's pretty bad faith.

Barbie was a really fun movie that was cheerfully, intensely, ABOUT FEMINISM. So it's reasonable to presume that writers might want to continue referring to and exploring the themes of the movie. And it's fine to decide you don't want that in your gift fic, and therefore sensibly decline to request it.

What movie did you guys watch? It was half about Ken's feelings and half that oh, perhaps the patriarchy might be bad? Calling it about feminism is like calling a child breaking an egg on the floor an omelet.

Re: requests ranking game - Barbie

Nobody said it was particularly insightful about feminism.

I do hope we get some good Ken/Ken smut out of this, but I am surprised there aren't more Barbie/Gloria prompts!
