I’ve read some meta about how there is a vocal faction of f/f readers across fandom who police the content that is considered “acceptable” for f/f fic and tend to come down *extremely* hard on anyone who deviates from their idea of what is appropriate.

Hmmm. It really doesn’t surprise me. Outside of fandom there’s the trend on tumblr of treating f/f relationships and wlw in general with this… almost dehumanizing standard of purity and perfection. Like, I’m not sure how much of it you’ve encountered but there’s a definite trend of painting lesbian relationships in such a rosy light that when someone speaks up and says normal, logical things like “women aren’t perfect” and “your girlfriends can be abusive, too” it gets hit with heavy backlash. It was really only a matter of time before that line of thinking infected fandom, too. 

I’m going to go looking through some of the “discourse” blogs I know and see if I can find that meta. If I do, I’ll reblog it.
