Idk if it’s because of how I’ve curated my feed but I rarely see people shitting on Christine. Any E/C space I’m in is mostly about centering Christine and her satisfaction.
That said, I feel the constant need to warn people that “If you like Erik and Christine as a couple, remember not to have that kind of relationship IRL” is kind of annoying. I get the intention, but people, including young people, aren’t stupid and don’t need constant reminders to not be inspired by their toxic faves.
Like yes girl, I know the Phantom is not a real man. I wish a wealthy, nerdy, musically talented, intelligent old man that lived underground and wanted to help me with my music career was real. But he’s not, so I’m gonna indulge in fiction.
Bless the rest of y’all that get involve in the discourse though. Honestly, could not be me.
#christine daae#phantom of the opera#erik/christine#like do you know how ridiculous it was to be 18 and hearing ppl be like ‘oh you’ll know why Entrapdaks bad when you’re older’#babes its been almost 6 years and they’re still one of the strongest relationships out of the show#i wonder if its more tied to r/c and e/c discourse which 🤷♀️#jokes on them I like when all three of them get together#But yeah I rarely come across thosse ‘Christine was wrong for not picking Erik’ posts unless it was like teenagers on TikTok#Which I don’t take seriously at all#as a former teen on the internet#because most of the time you grow out of it#anyway anytime I got reprimanded for shipping something as a kid it just made me want to indulge in it more#and it made me feel like I was being treated like a toddler#by older people who’d be so up in arms about this one ship while defending another that was equally if not more problematic#my hot take is that in most cases ships aren’t really problematic#its more based on your personal tastes and experiences shaping your view of relationships in media
