#HOLY SHIT BUCKYNAT TOO OMG BUCKYNAT DESERVES TO BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS

[c7phers]

hello i am going to rant a lot rn bcs im hella mad, and i never thought id make an anti-stucky post bcs i have no need to sit and hate on a literal fictional ship i just do not care about but this is actually pathetic.

i have never had an issue with the stucky ship. do i ship it? no i don't, i just don't see it, and guess what that's okay!! im not interested in the ship whatsoever, (for a variety of reasons) for me it's sambucky endgame.

i think bucky and sam are both very shippable characters, bucky more for me than sam. i love buckynat and buckytony! even winterhawk is great. and i adore sam and misty together. but at the end of the day, sambucky is my absolute fave i would spend time reading sambucky fics over the rest of the ships i mentioned.

when i first got into shipping, especially shipping bucky (like pre infinity war era i think) i had no problem with stucky as a ship. i'd come across fanart bcs i wasn't an avid ao3 reader at the time and i wouldn't mind it at all. it's like, "oh it's there, it's cute but i don't ship it, but hey i can just look at it platonically!".

and then i got into shipping sambucky during the tfatws era and i absolutely fell in love with them, i think they have such amazing chemistry and enemies to lovers is my absolute favorite trope. but then came along the st*ckies, and my lord i was shocked.

it was absolutely pathetic behavior, and i wasn't on tumblr during the civil war era and i very vaguely remember that period but i do remember people hating on sharon and i never really understood why because i wasn't all that into the fandom or had much of a social media presence. but the sheer misogyny in hating sharon never fails to astound me.

stucky is a fictional ship. A FICTIONAL SHIP. they are FICTIONAL CHARACTERS. and st*ckies need to stop pushing their ship onto everybody else. it's so infuriating because i never had an issue with the ship itself, but the sheer hostility and toxicity of the st*ckies that i have witnessed over the past few months has made me loathe the ship. i come across anything related to them and get aggravated because i remember how horrid st*ckies actually are.

stop pushing your faves down our fucking throats just because we don't agree with you.

and that's not the worst part, i completely understand not liking a particular ship. but just because you do doesn't mean you justify your dislike by being racist or misogynistic!! (sambucky, stevesharon & buckysarah)

the way they treat sam is truly pathetic, they either water him down to his therapist, a "good bro" and / or make bucky use him as a replacement for steve. not to mention they treat bucky like an extremely co-dependent sexual object but again, that is something i would rather rant about sometime later.

and you know, if you don't like a character? that's okay, but using racial slurs against him to justify your dislike, & having bucky getting turned on on the thought of sam / him actually getting r*ped in fics,, i mean that is truly disgusting. the racism against sam, especially by st*ckies is so evident it's sad. they say they don't like the pairing (sambucky) but just by the way they treat sam's character, you can see it's very much fuelled by racism. i would get into talking about their treatment of sharon but that could be an entire post by itself, not to mention that there are already loads of posts criticising and calling out the st*ckies for their evident misogyny.

but now coming to why im so mad, so my best friend @thyqueerblueberry was scrolling through the anti-stucky tag and made a post about it, and u can see that they said they got SIX anon hate messages. and some of the hate messages had slurs against them. and i was fuming.

and one message in particular said smth along the lines of — oh you sure spend a lot of time scrolling through a ship you dislike. and you know what my response for this is? yes they do, yes the both of us actually do! and you want to know why? because fucking st*ckies tag their shit with sambucky, they come in and add their crap in OUR, the sambucky fandom's tags. and a lot of these people tend to be salty st*ckies who are unhappy with steve's ending. and it's pissing off as hell! not to mention their hypocrisy bcs they're spending a ton of time sifting thru people who purposely post content that disagrees with their ship.

so for a person who literally wants to read posts on sambucky and sam appreciation posts, some posts tend to be tagged anti-stucky!! oh not to mention that st*ckies automatically tend to assume that any post that is not their ship but has bucky or steve paired with another character is automatically anti-stucky AND IT MAKES ME WANT TO YELL IM SO MAD FOR FUCKS SAKE.

the fact that they are jobless enough to go through a tag that is clearly AGAINST their ship, and then sift thru it and send HATE to people, ANON HATE MESSAGES is shocking and disgusting. they need a fucking whack on the head or a chair thrown at them or maybe a lesser violent wake up call. why don't they just sit and consume pro stucky content instead!! just read ur fanfics, look at fanart and we can all live in harmony!!

and what's even more pathetic is that a lot of the times, these are grown ass people, these are people in their 20's & 30's. like a grown ass person is sitting and sending anon hate to other people over a ship. ive also come across loads of teens tho, but the hostility i have experienced with older shippers man, it's pathetic.

if you are hurting a real person over a fictional character or ship, you need to get your head and your priorities sorted and understand that your words affect real people.

i understand having comfort characters and ships. and tony is one of my comfort characters and ive come across so many people who loathe him. but guess what? im not jobless or petty enough to sit and scroll through a tag that i know is specifically against my fave and then take the time out of my day to sit and send hate, ANON HATE to people do disagree with MY opinion on the character.

the fact that someone chose to take the time out of their day to send hate to my best fren just because they don't agree with YOUR ship and in the process you use slurs makes you a pathetic sad human being and i hope you sort the shit in your head because you need to reevaluate your priorities.

(ofc i mean toxic shippers only, if you love the ship and mind ur own business and aren't a bigoted piece of poop who trashes on sam for no reason and actually likes bucky as a character outside of steve and stucky, good 4 u! continue to enjoy ur content and be happy!! unfortunately y'all just happen to have the biggest chunk of shippers who fetishise mlm ships so overall there's a bad name.)

people's words hurt, doesn't matter if it's anonymous or not. it hurts, so before you sit and send hate to another person for something as simple as a disagreement and / or a difference in a fictional ship, please think twice. or thrice. or maybe just don't think about sending hate at all. we're all trying to get through life, a lot of us with fictional characters by our side for comfort and motivation and we don't deserve to be hated for it (until it's incest of pedophilia or like r*pe play or smth like please no get help).

just live and let live ok?

holy shit guys i literally just made one(1) post saying i spent some time in the anti st*cky tag and got 6 anon hate messages are y'all okay???
