Agh, dammmit, I meant disinclined. That'll teach me to comment as I'm walking out the door. (DW, I know and respect the reasoning on not allowing edits on comments with replies, but I am too much of a typo-ridden mess to have this option taken away from me.)
The fandom-specific contexts definitely complicate the matter. Yuri on Ice is the only thing I've been this interested in for ages, and it's the first fandom to make me produce fanworks in about fifteen years. But the only f/f ship (out of several reasonable possibilities before we hit serious kinktomato territory) that gets any attention is a perfect storm of No Bi, Only Lesbians (despite them both swooning over dudes in the show), Afterthought F/F to stand aloof and undeveloped in the background of all-m/m works, and being anti-shipper favorites despite having a bigger age gap than the popular m/m ship that brought the antis in the first place. If I liked them as a ship more, I might feel the need to tip the scales, but I'm sorta meh about them as anything but friends. This discussion, however, has me wondering if I can think up a plot for some of those other ships that get ignored (because, I suspect, everybody involved is over 25 while 90% of the fandom is like 16-21, and most of them are bad at writing actual grown-ups). Now that activates my spite powers just fine.
