I have similar feelings around discussions on the f/f gap, and the ever-present cudgels of Women Are Never Well-Written and Women Are Not Allowed to be Depraved in Fandom, That's Why We Don't Write About Them! hello, me: happily writing lesbian incest noncon in my corner I see this SO MUCH and it annoys me more every single time. And is also frankly bizarre to me when I'm sitting here reading historical cyberpunk baihe that has been precision-engineered to create affordances for SO MANY of fandom's most beloved relationship tropes.
There's also a weird strain of puriteenism I sometimes see online that goes 'YES UNHINGED LESBIANS! BUT I DRAW THE LINE AT INCEST! AND NONCON! INCEST NONCON IS BAD!' I was once yelled at by one of these people for merely bringing up the fact that incest noncon baihe exists.
