@renatolond Yeah. It's so distracting. I could see them going either way, tbh. Given how the sexed-up-ness of Game of Thrones has playes.

@benhamill Yep, it's true, one can only hope 🤞🏽

As she walks over he notices that she's wearing a new t-shirt with some generic cop slogan on it, since her other shirt got wrecked, you know, as makes sense. But then he notices that her breasts are "moving" underneath it (like, writhing of their own accord or…?). The way it's written itsn't, like, "I was uncomfortably aware of how her breasts moved under her new shirt," which would still be a bit weird, but at least would underscore that he's not really wanting to think of her that way (and there's a plot point that he's not wanting to think of her that way).

Instead, it's like, "Saw the bewbs move dewd. Low key high five so she doesn't notice, breaux. I'm p sure she's not wearin' a bra any more! And that makes me think about SEX! Sex is GOOD!" or whatever. I just... ugh.

Stuff like this is just rare enough that I sort of forget it's A Thing™ while I'm wondering who killed who and why and all that and then it sort of pops out of nowhere like this and I'm like, "Damnit, Morgan! Again!?!? Read smut on your own time!"

I think this is part of why I like to read lesbian fiction by women. The point of view character isn't generally hornin' all over every woman that wanders past. And attraction is usually presented more holistically, instead of like some fuckin' Jr. High boys trying to sneak a peak at just a few millimeters more cleavage or some shit. So even thought the subject of attraction is women and I can be like, "Yes. I understand. I, too, am attracted to ladies of a certain type," it's SO much more… IDK. Respectful? Human?!?

Ugh. OK. Rant over. I will probably still finish this book, but ugh. I hate this aspect of it.

@benhamill shut up nerd

@segfault ?

@segfault I don't think my face answers the question. Do you have an actual point you're trying to make or are you just being rude to random people this morning?

@benhamill *weird cisgender white guy on Mastodon instance built for queer woman voice* Well actually, I find this lesbian fiction to be very cringey and pervy

@segfault Uh. I may have communicated poorly, then. I was trying to make the opposite point. I find this straight male gaze fiction very cringey and pervy especially compared to the lesbian fiction I've read. Sorry for the miscommunication.

@benhamill why is a straight male guy on an instance for queer women? seems cringey and pervy to me

@segfault Because I made a bunch of friends here and I think our about/more page makes it pretty clear that WT has a broader purpose than what you seem to understand. I'm going to block you now, but I hope your day improves because you seem like you need a hug or something.

@benhamill lol ok bud
