Angry Glee shipwar feelings, please be advised.
Amidst the shipwars happening on Tumblr right now, it was stated that Klaine shippers were "doing it wrong" because we were treating our ship like a gay couple instead of just a couple, which creates further inequality

I totally agree. I just can't stress enough how sad it is people act this way to begin with.
To a certain extent I can get it in other fandoms (although still not really because I've never been involved in a shipwar and I don't intend to), but to behave this way when watching a show that puts a lot of emphasis on accepting yourself and others for the way they are makes it worse to me.
Bleh. hate. dnw.
The thing I dislike so much about these kind of things is that there's always people who identify with what is going on. There are people who are like Kurt and need a Blaine and there are people like Blaine who need a Kurt, and by bashing the ship and the shippers so much, you're also bashing these people.
And that always hurts.
This is also why the whole BIOTA Blaine-needs-to-grovel-fic hurt me. Because although I haven't been in that situation exactly, I did something similar. And hurt someone with it. And I regret it. But I suddenly felt like all these people couldn't forgive me for a stupid mistake I made.
And similarly, there'll be people for any kind of situation and any kind of ship that can identify with it and appreciate it for that, and I think it's important to at least leave those people have their worth.
BUT THEN AGAIN THIS IS STUFF THAT MOST OF US DON'T THINK ABOUT AND I'M NOT EVEN SURE IF IT'S SOMETHING PEOPLE SHOULD THINK ABOUT.
But hating is hurtful and I don't get why people go out and post crap with that intention.
