Morbane's coal

In quantum wankchanics, Morbane's coal is a thought experiment, sometimes described as a paradox, of quantum wankerposition. In the thought experiment, a hypothetical gift may be considered simultaneously both the fic of your dreams (TFOYD) and coal, while it is unread state, as a result of its fate being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur.

The Coaltide interpretation implies that, after a while, the gift is simultaneously TFOYD and coal. Yet, when a coalie clicks on their gift, the coalie sees the gift either TFOYD or coal, not both TFOYD and coal. This poses the question of when exactly quantum wankerposition ends and reality resolves into one possibility or the other.

This is circular reasoning par excellence. Yes, of course dude-heavy canons result in dude-heavy fic! The question is why fandom is so obsessed with dudes in the first place. If you believe it's because pop star RPF, or comics, or YA fantasy, doesn't have any canons with more women than men, and misogyny on the part of fans never comes into the equation, I have a bridge to sell you.

They have way more canons with more men than women, even in those genres, sadly. The "odds of zeitgeist" part applies to fandoms as much as pairings. (And when I've tried to run the numbers on some fandoms I love that I thought of as female-character-heavy, a lot of them turned out to still be majority male, because we've all been trained to think of 1/3 women as a lot, or two women leads with a mostly-male supporting cast. Even one more male than female on the main cast multiplies the possible m/m ships considerably.)

But yeah, of course there's misogyny in what canons and ships fandom gloms onto! There's misogyny everywhere as people have been saying up and down this thread. The simple numerical correlation working out is super interesting though and I think even the people who did it expected it to disprove the argument.

It's fucking exhausting, as a woman, to have someone repeatedly show up to tut you that the things you choose to write as an escapist hobby are misogyny on par with the misogyny you face in your daily life, and you should stop writing that and write them the type of pornography they prefer instead.

Oh wah wah wah, I am also a woman you big baby. No one said "on par with the misogyny you face in your daily life", but misogyny is still present in fandom just like it's present everywhere else. Grow up.

Baby, yes. I'm a pansexual woman who prefers a lot of m/m to other pairings, but who regularly requests M/f and MM/f and the very occasional f/f and still gets just the m/m.

My god damn porn preferences do not make a worldview. The fact that some nonnies can't seem to grasp that is their god damn problem and not mine.
