    hey guys! I see a lot of comments requesting an inverted version, but I'm having trouble finding good examples online. If you know of some quotes of female authors writing male characters very strangely, please respond to this comment with the quote and book name for a future video! :)

      As a man who likes men, I have made some attempts at reading slash-fic in my misspent youth. It exists, but you are gonna have to plumb the depths of fan-fiction websites to find it, because they way some of those folks try to describe anatomy is what I would call 'poetically Lovecraftian.'

      there used to be an inverse subreddit r/womenwritingmen but it got removed from being unmoderated. but something ive found is that most of the "women writing men" stuff all seem to focus more on reputation, dominance and said male characters undying and obsessive devotion to the protagonist/reader than physical characteristics though there are certainly... exceptions. even with this, the only things i find this in tend to be trashy romance smut. not really much to say since this archetype doesn't change all that much between stories/books

      @@LavenderTowne This wasn’t in an official book, but as a kid I used to write all my teenage male characters as if they were some sort of “cool punks” or something.
      Here’s one example:
      “Hey Jake. What’s that?”
      “Uhh,” he stuttered not sure if he wanted to respond. “I think it’s a love note…”
      (Here’s where it gets really cringy)
      “A love note?! In high school? That is so dumb and cheesy! Whoever sent it obviously isn’t cool.”
      Well okay it’s not that bad but this is from like 4 or 5 years ago, so I’m cringing really hard. I guess for the time it was not bad writing though.

      It was translated from Japanese. They have very strict beauty standards there, so it wasn't a fetish, necessarily. More just pointing to a part of his society that doesn't really make much sense, and expressing his confusion over the disconnect between what he felt sometimes and what society tells him he's supposed to feel. Or not supposed to, in this case. It was also intentional by the authors part.

    • @willw6504
      @willw6504 3 месяца назад +55

      For those who don't know what elisions are, they're when you drop certain sounds while pronouncing a word. An english example would be saying "kinda" instead of "kind of" or "dunno" instead of don't know. Or even pronouncing camera as 'cam-ra'.
      French is MADE of elisions - most words have extra letters that you don't pronounce. If you are speaking french without elisions, you are speaking French incorrectly. What the author is (unintentionally) describing is a non-French person who learned French from a book and has never spoken to a native French speaker in their life.

    • @TikiShades
      @TikiShades 3 месяца назад +26

      It's just classism. Speaking English with "slang and elisions" is lower class-coded, in a very old-timey way, too. The writer just didn't know that doesn't translate to other languages.
      Further evidence to that is the "aristocratic big toe" where the second toe is longer. Entirely ridiculous standard that aristocracy used to make themselves feel better about themselves

    If you want some vintage stuff 7:50 , Robert Heinlein’s TIME ENOUGH FOR LOVE has awesome things like a woman who doesn’t get menstrual cramps (and is snotty about women who do), a woman who is “bald as a grape” (she shaves her parts), and on and on.

Its all fetishization, but when its a fat girl its disgust in the mix too and the DANGER OF SLEEPING WITH HER ooooo scary.

      Another context.

She feels she has to look good to please the freaks of the world or else nobody would like her. So she tries everything in her power to make herself look good instead of actually working on herself. The goal is to show both the detrimental effects of these ridiculous body standards, and also call out these ridiculous writers and any freaks who decide to play the game and end up thirsting over her, mocking these individuals for their absurdities.

    You absolutely nailed these.
    For "Claw of the Conciliator" the narrator is an unreliable narrator that the author wants the readers to be suspicious of. So his description of Jolenta is probably not accurate (we see how he kinda hates her and moralizes everything about her before and after this description, even when she later falls ill).
    That said, I agree it is an extremely tired cliche for men to describe women in these types of terms in fiction (and was in 1981 when that book was published too).
