Galaxyspinner: \\\"...then maybe the healthiest thing you can do is giving up fanfiction.\\\" Why? Because I hate stereotypes? The trope title has a level of truth to it (if you come across a fanfic, good or bad, there\\\'s a good chance a girl wrote it), but the trope\\\'s \\\'\\\'meaning\\\'\\\' is what makes it snide (kind of like \\\"WomenDrivers\\\" is about how all women are erratic drivers who shouldn\\\'t be trusted with a vehicle - so if I don\\\'t like the idea of the trope, I should [[SarcasmMode stay away from cars, right?]]). SturgeonsLaw is \\\'\\\'very\\\'\\\' prevalent in fanfic, with many being [[BadWriting badly written]], [[CanonDefilement poorly executed]], and either characters [[CharacterDerailment being derailed from their original characterization]] or the whole story (along with [[StrangledByTheRedString it\\\'s protagonist]]) being overtaken by the resident MarySue. A lot of guys are offended by MostWritersAreMale (especially considering this wiki has plenty of pages dedicated to scolding [[AManIsNotAVirgin common]] [[AllMenArePerverts male]] [[MenAreUncultured stereotypes]], but \\\'\\\'completely agrees\\\'\\\' that this trope and all it implies are true), but it doesn\\\'t mean guys should stop writing.
[=SaltyWaffles=]: I agree with you on that one; \\\'\\\'maybe\\\'\\\' it could be retitled, though one could make a complaint about how there\\\'s still good fanfic out there that is also romance (even {{yaoi}}, [[CrackPairing crack]] or [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs both]]). Still, that alternative fits better.
