From here.
I got hooked by Death Note, for its great story and probably the understating dystopian elements. But. As always, guess I couldn't love it so much without those lovely yaoi fanfics and doujinshis that have made those manipulative, calculating boys more humane. Forget Misa the brat, LxLight is so HOT - deadly cat & mouse game, full of tensions, defiance and conflicts. So much to explore and so evil for my liking. Hehe, deal with it - I am ultimately a rotten yaoi/slash girl who doesn't give a damn to those annoying female characters in anime & manga (since you can't avoid them) and it's good to ignore them all and go pair some pretty boys up. What fun. I used to be ridiculously feminist and felt sympathic towards spoilt little girls, thinking they'd grow up one day, yet no more, after I encountered some real ones in life. It's in their genes.
Yes, same old fandom sexism -- but, PROGRESS! At least she's admitting that her marginalization isn't feminism.

The second-to-last sentence feels like a non sequitur. All she had to do was provide a valid reason to dislike female characters and really just invoked a Paris Hilton strawman.

BUTTSECKSWUB!!!!!She apparently does like some female characters ... I guess she's some sort of beautiful genetic mutant instead the evil that infests most women's hearts. (Sadly enough I heard that from someone who claimed to be feminist ... and it was a community I used to be a part of. [sigh] I have some shame I have to work through.

I've heard women say about other women that the inclination to pair up male characters at the expense of the female character(s) is something of an inevitability, because there will always be a percentage of women, especially in their teens and adolescence, who feel an innate jealousy towards the female character.
(obviously this applies best to shows/movies/books that have a minimum of two hunky guys and one girl regardless of her demeanor and possibly her appearance) But otherwise, we *all* want to pair up two guys if the conditions suit us. The jealousy theory is better at offering clues to the female-against-female sexism than the entire root cause of yaoi/slash work (I think).

Misa is awesome though. She's as messed up as Light is!
And somehow, I bet she's one of those girls who see two gay men hold hands in the mall and call them fags.
