Buddy, that’s kind of the good side of fandom. The bad side is all the people telling you you’re a stupid piece of shit if you like X character/plot/episode/whatever. Also, the ones writing the really fucked up fanfic that makes you say, “um what the hell happened to you?”
Those are exactly the ones they’re talking about, except they said fan art instead.
Really fucked up fan art …
Ah, the “straight relationships are illegal” fandoms…
“Quick! The showrunners just introduced an opposite sex couple immediately after three same sex ones! We have to make one character bi and the other pan!”
“Oh my gosh! The mean-girl character just started sucking up to a kid she used to be friends with who has since become her social superior in the most transparent power grab of all time! It must mean she had a lesbian crush the entire time!”
siiiiiiiigh
Why is it though that queer relationships seem somehow watchable/readable, but straight relationships are just not interesting?
Obviously this will not be a universal experience. But I’m straight BTW, love the opposite gender, just find those plots almost universally dull.
