Not the OP or AYRT, but... I don't think it's "giving side eye to fans" to say that we can do better.
If we hold the actual canon media to a higher standard of representation (which we should) and complain about a lack of diversity there, why should we have lower expectations for fanfiction.
Nobody's pointing a finger at any onr author individually or judging anyone for not writing femslash that I've seen here. They're only asking the question of why femslash isn't being represented and trying to see if anyone else here is interested in it with them.

It's everyone else who's getting defensive.
