look mates, i’m not saying i don’t get it, i’m not saying there isn’t a big basis for shipping characters based on stuff like this, but sometimes i feel like i’m just yelling at a brick wall and tearing my hair out every time you goofs pick m/m ships and decide you want the mean, catty, invasive, tragic ones to get together and continually degrade each other until one of them inevitably fucks the trauma out of the other one. why do y’all think gay male romance is just Like That. Why

#why are het ships seen as allowed to be quirky and wholesome and fun and gay ships are LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!#i know all i do is talk about the turn fandom has taken in the last few years but!!!! i feel like i'm losing my mind!!!!!!!!!!!!#het ships are cutesy and romantic and have inherent value #and queer ships end in tragedy and death and AAAAAANGST and it's all uncomfortable begrudging self-hating garbage #i get it! i understand!#please don't mistake me for someone who HASN'T spent over his life in creative fanwork circles!#but don't yall ever get /tired/ of doing gay men like this. don't you ever feel /bad/ for them?????#in a way where you feel empathy for them and not in a way that you're just covering up blatant homophobia????#EVER??!??!?!?!?!?#shit #since this is just a rant into the rant tag it goes #BUT JEEZY CREEZY!!!#'queer men deserve better' i say to the same concrete wall for the 8000th time
