Morbane's coal

[coalcube]

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.

Re: Porn - M/M

Yeah. If people are really doing it out of an internalized misogyny they *can* try to gradually get to a genuine interest in writing and reading about more women, if they come to this realization and resolution on their own. But what results from this kind of reductive finger-wagging is people writing passionless mediocrity because of relentless fandom social pressure.

+1 (from someone who shifted from reading and writing mostly about male characters to reading and writing almost exclusively about female characters, but organically, not out of obligation - I'm just happier this way)
