A Mini-Rant about Hating on house_spoilers

Rather than rant all over again, I just copied my original post from house_spoilers.

This used to be a great comm before all the shipping bullshit.

I love House/Cuddy. I love House/Wilson. Why do I have to read through 200 posts of any of these characters getting trashed?

Is it possible that they deleted or screened some of the comments? When I was reading the threads a few hours ago, I tried to make sense of it all, but apparently some of the comments were deleted, so I only saw peoples' reactions (worse enough). :(

I love that tag! ;)

It's entirely possible. Some of those comments were so offensive to women, they probably should've been deleted.

I honestly can't understand how House/Wilson fans delude themselves into thinking that they're actually going to "get together". Seriously? It's fine for pretend and fantasy, w/e, but when the two characters are written as very straight characters? Seriously, people are nuts! I have no problem with two dudes getting their freak on, but come on? How can someone really think these two are gonna boff each other? I love their friendship, but that's all it is.

JMO, but I think--especially early in the series--that there was a lot of room for interpretation. The writers left the exact nature of House and Wilson's relationship kind of ambiguous, and I'm fine with that. I'm also fine if people want to continue to believe that House and Wilson are doing it rough and dirty every single night. I just don't want to read through literally hundreds of repetitive slams against Cuddy b/c the Ho-Yay Wet Dream isn't what we're seeing on screen.

Oh, also people mentioning that House would be like... sad having sex with Cuddy?
Makes me lol to no end.

That takes first prize in the wankolympics.

It is.

Hah. I haven't seen what you're talking about, although I can guess.

But y'all will probably like this little article that a friend linked to.

In The Post-Shipper Era, 'The Office' Is The Most Romantic Show On Television

It's pretty on-the-nose for this fandom, though it doesn't even mention it. (It also describes pretty well why I *hate* blending the names. Hate.)
