if someone says they don't like reading dynamics with short tops then that's fine. I think that's what that person means when they say they don't like short tops . But just saying they don't like short tops well if they are talking abt short tops in general like irl ppl or even characters that just happen to be short and a top and they just say " I don't like short tops" as a straight person then I mean that's a bit weird cause that gay short top has nothing to do with that straight top. So if the straight person just were to see a random irl person and they say to that gay person that happens to be a short top and they say they don't like them( that's Weird) cause the irl top doesn't exist for them, even if the straight person says that abt characters that are short top that the don't like them 😭like why they hating on them. But if it were the case where they are a person like yourself I'm guessing that doesn't like reading dynamics where the top is shorter or whatever dynamic u don't like reading, and u were to express that. That's completely fine and totally ok. i think it'll be better to just word it in a way where it's not generalized when they express how they feel. cause I think that's the reason ppl might get confused that they hate this dynamic in general " like irl ppl and characters.." mid a person worded it like " I hate /don't like short tops" vs if they worded it like "I don't like reading dynamics with short tops" If u genuinely don't hate all short tops but just don't like ( reading) the dynamic..i think that the reason why ppl might comment on those ppl who say things like that is cause of how that person worded it. C
i think that wording it goes a long way. i say that cause there are some ppl who genuinely hate "all" tall bottoms/weaker tops/whatever dynamic" and when I say hate they genuinely hate all those irl ppl and characters from gay stories. They hate them for no reason when they have nothing to do with them. Vs there are some ppl ( I'm just assuming here that u are like this ), where these ppl just don't like reading these types of dynamics ( which is totally fine , cause they don't hate those irl gay ppl that are of that certain dynamic and those characters. but because they worded it in the same way to those ppl who genuinely hate "all those ppl in the dynamic ..." they the genuine ppl like yourself I'm assuming, come across as if they hate all those ppl & characters in a dynamic that has nothing to do with them. ( that's why I think the wording in this case goes a long way ) "I hate short tops" vs " I don't Like reading bl/gl or dynamics with short tops" ( anything/anyway they wanna word it I once they mention the (reading /watching) part cause I think maybe that way the ppl will know that they are not like those ppl that actually hate irl ppl/characters that have that dynamic, for no reason.
but I'm also saying too, since I answered your question, in an explanation, that Ik sometimes ppl are genuine and just say or word it in a way where they don't actually mean they hate all ...so it's not weird for a person to not like reading some dynamic, but it is weird for a person hate all ppl irl and characters in general that are a certain type of too that's not stereotypical ( this is not u, saying this causes based on what u said it doesn't seem like that's u) those are the weird ones, especially because these often are the types to also make even more weird comments like say things like "he/she cannot be a top cause they're too feminine/short/emotional.." or "he/she cannot be a bottom cause they're too big, dominant..." those are the ppl claiming that a person can't be a top/bottom cause there's basically a look to them or a role" I'm guessing u don't do this as well, do this so this doesn't apply to u. so in conclusion you're not those weird ppl I'm talking abt I think, I think the only reason you came off that way is cause of the wording ( cause wording comes a long way ). i have a hard time with wording things too in a short way as I'm autistic, so I'm sorry that it took me a while to get my points across.
