People that get invested in fiction and examine fictional lore need to learn how to tell the difference between which lore is actually important to the series and which lore is an excuse for something.

If Dwarven women are capable of growing beards, but have cultural reasons not to, that is an excuse that they made not to give them beards.

If a female character can only wear skimpy clothing for some given reason, that is an excuse to sexualize her.

If an organization can only be populated men, that is often an excuse to not have to create female characters.

Its all made up. It isn’t a foundation of the universe that they can’t control. They wrote it to be like that.

Hey, content creators! In light of tumblr’s super-interesting new ban, please don’t forget to back up your work EVEN IF IT IS NOT NSFW. For fanfic I suggest Archive of Our Own. Fan art can also be posted there but honestly you could probably build up an archive on imgur until you find a new place to host your art. (Deviantart is the only thing that comes to mind so please suggest better places!)

Stay safe out there guys. Don’t let them delete your hard work. Make sure all of it can be enjoyed by people still. Even if it’s not NSFW – many of my friends have been having their SFW art flagged.
