Project sekai ship fics on AO3:
Ratio of # of male pjsk characters to fanfics about men (excluding gen category): 1:2626
Ratio of # of female pjsk characters to fanfics about women: 1:557
Let me say that again. For every 1 male character in project sekai, there are 2626 fics about him. For every 1 female character in project sekai, there are only 557 fics about her. Come on pjsk fandom… you should be better than that :/
(More figures & calculations below)
Number of male pjsk characters (excluding vs)*: 4
Number of female pjsk characters (excluding vs)*: 16
Total # of fics excluding gen category: 19422
3358 het fics/2 = 1679 per gender partner
% of women vs % of men in pjsk: 80% : 20%
1679+8826=10505 fics/19422=~54% of fics are about men
1679+7238=8917 fics/19422=~46% of fics are about women
*please note that if vs were included, the percentages and ratios would be the same (26 women/6 men)
If you are primarily a fan of male characters or have a male character as your fav. Ask yourself why that is. I’m guilty of this too. Most of us are guilty of this. Examine your biases and try to move past them. There is already enough misogyny in the world.
