  • E79: I Support Women’s Wrongs - Fandom and Readers Hate Unlikeable Women

    E79: I Support Women’s Wrongs - Fandom and Readers Hate Unlikeable Women
    Sep 20 2026
    Show Notes:I don’t have to like her, I understand her.Adrie and Stitch tackle the "unlikable female character" discourse head-on, tracing how fandom, publishing, and film consistently punish women and female characters for the exact same flaws that make male anti-heroes and rough heroes beloved. Drawing on academic work — from A.W. Wheaton's concept of the "rough hero" to Adriana Clavel-Vázquez's writing on rough heroines and imaginative resistance — they dig into why audiences eagerly forgive murderers, rapists, and misogynists (Quagmire, Hannibal, Cyril, Lestat) while turning on women for being confident, passive, horny, traumatized, or simply present (Rhaenyra, Skyler White, Julia from Cowboy Bebop, Shuri). The conversation ranges from Jane Austen's Emma to Tyler Perry's Acrimony, from Game of Thrones fandom's selective outrage to K-drama villainesses, landing on the same conclusion every time: "I support women's rights" often stops right where "and wrongs" begins.Topics: unlikable female characters, rough heroes, anti-heroes, fandom double standards, protagonists, racialized double standards in fandom, Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, Hannibal, Cowboy Bebop, Marvel/MCU, K-drama, webtoons, villainesses, misogyny in pop culture, feminist media analysis, women’s wrongsReading Recommendations:Fiction:The Raven Scholar by Antonia HodgsonThe Remarried Empress by AlphatartShards of a Broken Glass Slipper The Returned C-Rank Tank Won’t DieFor My Derelict FavoriteMy Engagement Was Called Off Under False Accusations, but Who Ever Said My Face Was Ugly Beneath the Mask?

  • E78: You're Not Gay Enough - Bisexuality, Sapphics, and WLW Erasure in Romance

    E78: You're Not Gay Enough - Bisexuality, Sapphics, and WLW Erasure in Romance
    Sep 13 2026

    Show Notes:


    You can be bisexual, but only if you’ve never touched a man.


    Adrie and Stitch tackle the endless discourse around books "mismarketed" as sapphic when their bisexual leads also sleep with men. They break down what sapphic actually means, why bi women get treated as secretly straight (or not queer enough), and how "gold star" purity tests and political lesbianism collapse into transphobia. The conversation widens into heteropessimism, fandom's discomfort with femslash, the whiteness of biphobic discourse, and a eulogy-adjacent “discussion” of Gloria Steinem — before closing out with a stacked round of bisexual-lead romance recommendations.


    Topics: sapphic marketing, bisexual erasure, biphobia, gold star gays, political lesbianism, compulsory heterosexuality, heteropessimism, Achillean romance, M/M romance, WLW romance, Heated Rivalry, fandom shipping discourse, femslash, transphobia, How to Get Away With Murder, Annalise Keating, age-gap romance, white feminism, Gloria Steinem, poly romance, why choose romance, queer romance
