More stats!

A link that might be of interest: for Pride Month this year, toastystats on AO3 put together a light analysis of AO3 F/F works.

It's interesting to see what's up there -- I didn't expect to know any of the band RPF type fandoms, but I had no idea Naruto had a significant F/F presence and had never even heard of fandoms like Mamamoo or Holby City.

I did eyebrow a bit at counting nonbinary characters on the grounds of "voiced by female actors", but I only recognized the Steven Universe characters (who are canonically woman-aligned).

I have some sympathy for toasty here: they're just listing ships that other people categorised as f/f, and making a note that not all the characters are actually binary gendered women. I'm not sure how I'd handle that myself. It makes sense to exclude any ships about binary gendered men, but there's no neat line between those non binary characters who identify closely enough with women that it makes sense to classify their relationships as f/f, and those who don't.

Oh for sure, it just struck me as an odd justification to mention VAs on top of that!

Oh, good point! That is weird.
