I don’t what to tell you, man, it’s always been known...like back to the 1970s
What is that supposed to mean "like back to the 1970s"? Do you realize this is 2020? You are referring to 50 year old data.
That's all pre-civilian internet stuff.
Are you gonna tell me that "internet users are predominantly male" too, just because it used to be so back in the 1970s-1990s?
We know that's no longer the case.
That why you need recent data, not 50 year old claims from the pre-civilian internet stone age.
And of course, we do know exactly who writes published romance novels.
Yes, I have read
Reading The Romance too. It was published in 1984. Again, you are referencing pre-civilian internet stuff from 40-50 years ago.
Where are your recent sources backing your claims?
Well you just need to look back at around the origin of the slashfic

Honey, I am looong familiar with all this, you're not showing me anything new. I first read about this phenomenon back in the mid 1990s (in fact, I think I still have that interview somewhere). Like I said, when I got online in the 1990s, the first fanfic I ever encountered was not pretend-gay slashfic, it was pretend-
hetero fanfic between Scully and Mulder from
The X-Files (for the zoomers lurking, this was a popular sci-fi drama series in the 1990s) that was written by a middle-aged lesbian couple taking turns writing one another messages as those main characters (one would write the Mulder/male parts and the other the Scully/female parts). This example alone puts into question Sarah's claims (in that video I posted) that 1) slashfic is by/for young sexually inexperienced (read: conveniently infantilized by feminists) women (neglecting all the older sexually experienced women that write/read it) 2) it's young women fetishizing/idealizing gay romance (not middle-aged lesbians idealizing hetero(a)sexual romance). My point is that it's very typically TERF to ignore anything and everything that falls outside the very narrow TERF scope. TERFs can justify young sexually inexperienced girls fetishizing gay romance with a convenient reference to their assumed sexual inexperience/innocence, they cannot justify mature sexually experienced lesbians fetishizing a hetero couple like Mulder and Scully because those mature lesbian women do have agency and cannot be conveniently infantilized. That's obviously very inconvenient to TERFs, so they just ignore the latter. Very TERF indeed.
This is also why we haven’t seen hordes of AGPs trying to infiltrate and take over. There is too much labor involved on the AGP’s behalf.
On the other hand they have already written rims and rims of all types of
erotica pornography online and offline, but anyway. Again, how do you know this with such certainty? According to TERFs troons have infiltrated every female-majority space online and offline... except for fanfic? You seriously believe that?
(Last post from me on this topic BTW, because I have some other Reddit shit I need to share with the thread.)
It's a thought.
