Part 12 is the loneliest number you could ever do

[aphanon_meme]

Woah, did Part 11 seem to end without warning, or was it just me?

The challenge is extended until Part 14 maxes, then a poll will be going up! Thanks for being patient, people who have already entered! :)

And, I guess this needs to be said again:

This is a place where you can post and say whatever you feel that you cannot say openly in this fandom and its communities. You want to fangirl someone, bash a fic/art/pairing or talk about how much something pisses you off? Go ahead. Wank and vent and fangirl to your hearts content, no holds barred, no rules. Say what you want, when you want.

Different anon is the same! I sometimes feel like the only one on the anonmeme who doesn't feel that there's something demeaning about being bottom. I'd think with all this rage against the whole uke/seme thing, there'd be less people who cared.

Random things I need to get off my chest:

- England can top even though he's short. There's nothing wrong with being short.

- Being bottom doesn't equal being the submissive

- Being top doesn't equal being the dominant

- While we're here, why are we still assigning so-called gender roles to the giver and receiver anyway?

- What does it say that even a bunch of females seem to find being the receiver demeaning and weak somehow?

Eh, sorry for derailing with the rant. It's just been bugging me for a while.

Well I guess the better term I should've used would be "I like England being dominant"
That's true that you can still be dominant and be bottom, but it's hardly seen as much I usually prefer this TBH
I usually find art/fic and they potray England as being "weak" and thus bottom and it sort of annoys me

That's why I hate seme/uke roles, and calling someone "top" or "bottom". It just has so many unpleasant implications for a sexual relationship. So someone who is physically on top is always dominant in the relationship? So someone on bottom is weaker? Someone should want to be the top and not the bottom (fuck, I know gay guys who prefer the bottom because they enjoy it, but certainly aren't weakened because of it).

Not to mention it's just not usually that clear cut! It's perfectly true that someone physically topping could still be more emotionally dependent on the one bottoming. There are a whole bunch of emotional issues that come into play. The fact the people assume that physical position = position in relationship is ridiculous.
