Update To Clear Up Some Things I’ve Been Seeing In The Tags.

Update to clear up some things I’ve been seeing in the tags.

Yes, leaving out gen fics does skew the number. But there isn’t much of a reason to assume that the distribution of nonshipping fics will be vastly different from the distribution of shipping fics, as both are written more for more popular characters. However, even if we assume every single gen fic is written about a female character, the ratio is still 1 : 803, which is less than a third of the male characters’ 1 : 2626

Even if we were to assume EVERY fic not specifically listed as being about men was about only women (which is a ridiculous assumption to make), the figures would be 1 : 1076. Which is still less than half as much as the men. See how uneven that is?

Nitpicks below:

From one user responding to another:

Yes, this is the issue I’m highlighting; more fics are written and more content is made because the male characters are more popular. However, there are 2 things I have to say about this.

1) why assume people make content only for engagement? Fan content is made for the love of what you’re creating. Fandoms are born when people say, ‘hey why isn’t there any content about this? I guess I’ll have to make it myself!’ Good fan content isn’t made for attention. I encourage anyone reading this with unpopular tastes to go out and make your own content! That is how communities grow, make things because you love it, not for notes and kudos

2) it is a fixable issue. The purpose of my original post was to highlight the obvious discrepancy between male and female characters in the project sekai fandom. By noticing this behavior in ourselves, we can open our minds and improve as people. This brings me to my next addition:

This is a good point, so I want to clarify. I am NOT saying you have to be a misogynist— as in, telling women to go back to the kitchen— to favor male characters. Misogyny exists in all of us, even the most dedicated feminists, as a product of the world we live in. That’s why I encourage people to notice it. I notice it every day, I noticed it after making my original post when I realized I listed the statistics for the male characters first on instinct. We all have room to grow.

Lastly, to the rb above me; I appreciate your addition, you made some good points! please stop calling Toya/tsukasa incest. They aren’t related. It’s okay to not like the ship, I don’t like it either, so please just say that

Project sekai ship fics on AO3:

Ratio of # of male pjsk characters to fanfics about men (excluding gen category): 1:2626

Ratio of # of female pjsk characters to fanfics about women: 1:557

Let me say that again. For every 1 male character in project sekai, there are 2626 fics about him. For every 1 female character in project sekai, there are only 557 fics about her. Come on pjsk fandom… you should be better than that :/

(More figures & calculations below)

Number of male pjsk characters (excluding vs)*: 4

Number of female pjsk characters (excluding vs)*: 16

Total # of fics excluding gen category: 19422

3358 het fics/2 = 1679 per gender partner

% of women vs % of men in pjsk: 80% : 20%

1679+8826=10505 fics/19422=~54% of fics are about men

1679+7238=8917 fics/19422=~46% of fics are about women

*please note that if vs were included, the percentages and ratios would be the same (26 women/6 men)

If you are primarily a fan of male characters or have a male character as your fav. Ask yourself why that is. I’m guilty of this too. Most of us are guilty of this. Examine your biases and try to move past them. There is already enough misogyny in the world.

no hate to anyone I’m responding to. I appreciate any and all contributions this has been on my mind a lot lately. the project sekai fandom likes to profess itself as being very progressive but many people are incredibly unwilling to confront their biases when they are pointed out I love that we’re LGBTQ-friendly that’s really amazing! but that doesn’t mean we don’t have to improve anymore we should constantly be working to eliminate our biases wherever they arise if I have anything else to say later I’ll add it to this post. thank you to everyone who has reblogged and shared my original post lets keep being aware of this issue

It’s so insane to me that some people will see two characters who are or have been hospital-bound, and immediately equate their experiences to each other like they’re exactly the same. It just feels so… dismissive? There are so many people who end up in the hospital at some point in their lives. Saki was born with an illness that she struggled with her entire childhood. She was in and out of the hospital and had to adjust to and cope with her difficult circumstances, and now she is healing and trying to take back years that she lost. Soma was perfectly healthy until an unfortunate accident suddenly ripped one of the most important aspects of his life away from him, and he had to grapple with the pain of losing something so dear to him, and then try to find a way to move forward in a different way. Their experiences, while having similarities, are so incredibly different from each other. And I just find it incredibly reductive to see two characters who struggle with a disability reduced to being ‘the same’ simply because of that theme. There could be a hundred different characters with the same theme of ‘overcoming a disability,’ and all of them could still be completely unique!

It always makes me so happy to see disability focused project sekai content because it’s such a nice change of pace from how frustratingly ableist the fans can be towards characters like Saki (canon disabled I think? Or at the very least extremely disabled coded) and Mafuyu (not canonly disabled iirc but has a lot of traits shared with neurodivergent ppl). Hope none of those types of people have found their way to the ask button yet!!!:)

They haven't! Thankfully. I haven't even seen those people; I think she's canonically disabled, considering all of the hospital comics.

Either way! I'm glad I haven't had to fistfight someone yet.

Hey OP, I’m really sorry to tell you this, but the gofundme you’re currently reblogging is a scam. The user who posted this has posted no updates on their profile, answers no asks, and has no way to verify their legitimacy. Searching the ask you received will bring up the hundreds of times they’ve copied the same message to mass send to as many blogs as they can find, and they do nothing but repost the same original post asking for money on their account. Please don’t just reblog every ask you get claiming to be a Palestinian in need of money. This post is very helpful for identifying scams so that people’s money goes towards those who actually need it. I hope this helps!

What's your opinion on MizuToya?

I’m a huge multishipper so that one is actually on my list! They’re already some of my favorite characters, plus I think they’re super cute and I already love their dynamic romantic or otherwise. Also it would be super awkward for akito which I think is hilarious. I imagine under mizuki’s influence, Toya would learn to loosen up a little and explore his identity beyond what his family wants for him, and I think with Toya, Mizuki would find a lot of warmth and care, and probably start coming to school more arvjesgkrh

I would love to hear what you like about mizutoya‼️‼️‼️
