Also, yes, insightful post is insightful, but what about the possibility that slash is icky and wrong because I have some examples of it being wrong in another way? Did you ever think about that?
"oh man, I've just seen too many shitty unrealistic romantic comedies where the guy gets the girl by stalking her even though she hates him because women don't know what's good for them, and now I just can't take straight pairings seriously at all! BUT DON'T GET ME WRONG HERE I AM TOTALLY IN FAVOUR OF STRAIGHT PEOPLE IRL AND I KNOW LOADS OF THEM!"
THE FUNNY THING IS I HAVE ACTUALLY KIND OF HAD THIS THOUGHT BEFORE. Just different. Because most of my friends are heterosexual. I just. Won't get into that now.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. I tend to have shipping goggles on all the time but they lean more towards the gay couples because, I'll admit it, I think two dudes getting it on is hot. That doesn't mean I want to push them way out of character to achieve it - actually I really enjoy looking at unexpected and/or nearly impossible couples and trying to figure out ways they would work while keeping them IC IDK THAT'S WHAT I DO IT'S WHO I AM I'M A SHIPPER.
I'M PRE' SURE YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT I TEND TO LEAN TO OPTION B. because I do. I totally freak out about the fact that I've been playing two gay ( ....... or I suppose in Combeferre's case more amissexual idek what he is ) alongside a straight character and I've kinda been like. well you know, I've freaked out about it to you before. I don't like thinking this way because I know it's a shit way of thinking and HELLO KUDOS TO THIS POST! because more people need to think this way and realise this.
THIS WAS ORIGINALLY SO MUCH LONGER AND THOUGHT OUT BUT RP!S DISTRACTED ME. 8(
as for male/female friendships? /glues pepper and courfeyrac together with friendshipglue and sits contentedly in a corner
okay so what word do I use when I want to talk about the pervasive encroachment of heterosexuality onto everything and the bizarre double standard by which heterosexual and homosexual relationships are judged and considered in fandom
