The answer is both. Link's gender is "if you're into them, you're gay either way"
Small exception for when two for profit companies are fighting each other. At that point it becomes a question of which is the lesser evil.
Most likely society's response to the time I was sexually harrassed.
Like it wasn't straight up rape, but I got touched in bad places and boundaries disrespected. I was 16, the girl doing it to me was 16 too. To this day I have no idea if she was into me or if she just got off on how I'd completely bluescreen whenever she did it as a powertrip.
So anyway, being a teenager and certified "good kid", I didn't fight about it, I just knew I hated it. So I went to the adults in my school for guidance... And got laughed out of the principal's office. Because "I was a boy, of course I liked it and I had only gone to the principal as a way to humblebrag".
Got a similar reaction from the other teen boys.
So anyway it took me 10 full years to even start opening myself back up to human touch in general, as I spent that decade terrified of human touch in general.
I didn't know about the third world thing. Gee.
Same, actually.
No different from the regular thing except:
- Different fandoms would congregate in different home instances -- Which is ultimately just an aesthetic difference but still.
- It'd be a lot more resilient due to decentralisation. I'm old enough to remember when the entire concept of fanfiction was something considered litigious and anyone who wrote it felt they were skirting on the edge of the law. People forget how easy it is for those times to come back. All it'd take is 1(one) corporately-backed author making a stink about it. Decentralization would make it harder to curb.

Keep the fediverse weird and invite more theater kids. They pair surprisingly well with the tech dorks that make up the majority of the current fedi population.
Two different categories:
- People who believe they found the real world equivalent to the 'lower wanted level' cheats in GTA, and can do illegal shit freely as long as they say the right words to the cops when they are inevitably caught
- Grifters who take advantage of those people, who may or may not be true believers.
