| 2 | There are types of characters that are usually pushed aside to a SixthRanger role, or always [[WhiteHairBlackHeart cast as villains]] because BeautyIsBad and heroic characters -- male ones, at least -- [[ThisLoserIsYou have to be average to be relatable]]. In order to get made, stories had to have a SmartJerkAndNiceMoron. Characters who are WickedCultured have to be villains; heroes have to think ClassicalMusicIsBoring and hate the idea of remembering which fork to use. For decades, this has made it so male-attracted fans can only find satisfying stories in DracoInLeatherPants fanfics, prompting mainstream audiences to push them aside and shake their heads at how AllGirlsWantBadBoys, and wonder, "What's wrong with ''those people''?" |
