i’m always wary of gay fanfictions where the two protagonists are both allo cis gay men.

Serious question: Why? Bad experiences? 😦

I never even read tags (except for Major Character Death) because I’ve found amazing fics with pretty much any combination of sexualities that I can think of, including a lot of allo ones…

bad experiences, yes.

from what i’ve seen it’s almost systematic that fics with no trans/nonbi/bi/pan/ace/aro rep is going to shit on another part of the LGBTQIA+ community at some point or that the author is a cishet girl fetishizing gay men or shits on women.

of course there are exceptions ! but i just got used to expect this kind of attitude from this kind of characterization
