Saw this and wanted to share it, because stop shipping celebrities, when they tell you to stop. It makes them uncomfortable and as you see it doesnt end well.
If being shipped with your friend ruins your relationship with that person, you’re the problem. If someone implying you’re gay or dating one of your friends bothers you to this degree, that’s homophobic. Or at the very least, just kinda shitty
hi, actual gay person here
shut the fuck up
he’s not a fictional character; stop treating him like one
it’s not homophobic to be uncomfortable being shipped with your IRL friends
if people wrote het fanfiction about my females friends and i? i would be fucking mortified
please try to be a better person
like “he doesn’t like it when people imply he’s madly in love with someone he isn’t actually in love with? homophobe asshole!” like get some sense
It’s not about the orientation. It’s about you potentially ruining real people’s lives by writing falsehoods about them. And just for you to get off to, which is creepy as hell.
For shame.
Does… does this person not realize straight people (or really, people shipped in a straight relationship by fans, I guess) have the same objections to this kind of shit?
Try repeatedly insisting a girl must be dating a guy she’s really good friends with and saying how perfect they’d be as a couple and “why won’t you give him a chance?!” and see how that goes.
Tumblr’s “I hate boring forced romance” is so fake it’s not even funny. The truth is Tumblr is romance-obsessed (or maybe even sex-obsessed) but only for pairings they prefer. No, you wouldn’t watch a show where a boy and a girl are platonic besties knitting sweaters together and hanging out in indie cafes, you just want the hero and their bitter enemy to shove their tongues down each others’ throats. You’re not “sick of forced romance” you’re sick of forced romances that you personally don’t like.
When you see two characters who look at each other you ship them. When you see two characters literally trying to kill each other you ship them. When you see a character who isn’t showing interest in anyone, you insist they’re gay because you can’t stand to not make some good Rule 34 content out of them.
Face it Tumblr, you’re all horny, romance-obsessed teenagers deep down, you just wear a rebel hat and pout about Owen and Claire in Jurassic World kissing while openly admitting you’d be a diehard fan if one of them were gender-flipped.
^^^THIS SO FUCKING HARD
They like boring forced romances if they’re forced gay romances. Because that makes them automatically interesting just for being gay. Somehow.
The thing that puts me off shipping so badly is that when a pairing is popular, the shippers tend to only focus on the characters in shipping terms. Important moments from canon about one of the characters are turned into ship moments, even if the other character isn’t there. I respect everybody’s right to do as they wish, but not everything is about fictional romance. It just irks me how a characters individual qualities and important moments in canon are always reduced to shipping.
I hate when I ship a male and female character together and some people immediately screech “nNNONONONO…they cANNOT BE STRAIGHT…u cannnNNOT DO THATT…wwhhhYY Do stRAIGHT people ruiIN EVERYTHing…”
Hey guess what
1. I’m not straight and I don’t appreciate people who assume my sexuality
2. A guy in a girl in a relationship doesn’t automatically make them ‘straight’ lmao but thanks for erasing bi/pansexuality you piece of shit
2. Honestly I don’t think I headcanon a single character as “straight” and that doesn’t change just because they’re shipped with the opposite gender so shut the fuck up.
Also: There’s nothing wrong with straight relationships?? Just because this is tumblr it doesn’t mean everything is gay alright.
