This is a slightly cheeky request to help out the reccer covering Inception for this month on the recommendation community crack_van, both with reccs and with the fandom overview that's been written.

I agree with you on almost everything you've said. There's no denying that Ariadne/Arthur is the most popular het 'ship and the second only to Arthur/Eames in terms of its popularity. Its omission was a surprise, but the author is willing to accept help and comments on it.
My hope is that we can help the author of the overview understand that there is more than the favoured slash pairing and that the omission of or understating every other pairing at its expense did surprise some of us without resorting to the anger and upset of the anon attack. No pairing is more viable than another and yes, other aspects could have been explored in the space. I think its important that we let the writer of the overview know (or failing that the mods of the community if you prefer, as it is a private channel and not open to abuse, so they can pass comments on) this in as calm and reasonable manner as possible, since shouting and pointing fingers will get us nowhere except into a slanging match.
I really apologise if reading the overview upset you in any way- seeing the things we hold dear disregarded is painful (I know I felt discomforted), especially when it feels as if no one cares but a small number of fellow thinkers against a huge group. I had no intention of making you feel this way and I hope we can remain on friendly terms <3
