STOP Genderlocking Cosmetics!!

Ma'am, I haven't read or cared about this series since middle school. It was pretty gay.

That's your (very wrong) interpretation of it, but you're welcome to it.

And FYI, I'm a dude, but W/E.

I dunno, any series can inspire few slash fanfics, but when LotR has literally tens of thousands of them there must be something there that people are seeing.

That speaks of a moral failing somewhere down the line if the concepts of loyalty, brotherhood and brotherly love is percieved as "gay". Seriously, watch the video I linked.

Not really. It just tells you that it's a very big fandom with a considerable amount of people who want to see that subtext, regardless of whether it's blatant or wishful thinking.

At very least, the question to ask isn't "how many fanfics are there" but "how many are there relative to the overall size of the fandom".

This. The bigger the fandom, the higher is the chance you'll see all sorts of fanart about it. LotR has (or at least used to have) one of the biggest fandoms ever.

Also as a person that used to hang out in a couple of fandoms, both small and big - shippers gotta ship, even if characters didn't see each other even once or they're mortal enemies that can't stand each others's existence. The title in question doesn't need to have anything special to it for people to decide to write slash fan fiction about it, it just happens. And then there's also such a thing as crossovers, too (yes, they exist in fanart as well) that has even less logic in it. Creators just have fun. /shrug

I for one...would wear the Panties, on both my main here, and on my Hrothgar ALT.
Not as a Joke, not for the lolz, not even for attention, but because I can...and because I want to.
Im a fan of Sexy Glamours on both sides.

Then wear a suit or some uniform. That's sexy on males, those are made to compliment male form. The dress? Quite opposite.

different people find different things visually appealing

idk, who cares how someone wants to dress their virtual doll.

People care because it’s a waste of resources that we already barely have.

Agreed. Men in suits can be very attractive:





As a guy into other guys, I don't care for the recent glorification of niche aesthetics at the cost of conventionally attractive aesthetics.
