To an extent I agree with this. But if someone made an OC just to ship them with one of MY original characters, *personally* I would be uncomfortable with that because I am AroAce and tend to extend that trait to the rest of MY OCs. I do not like the shipping being done with MY characters (whether it be ā€œwhat ifsā€ with canon characters or self-inserts), because of personal icky yucky feelings towards it and because most of them are AroAce. (Au characters I could give a fuck less about because they arenā€™t mine to begin with, I just wrote a story for them that I wanted to write. The only exception to this are C, Soul, and Sebastian because their human forms have become my characters.)
I donā€™t think itā€™s cringe overall (i mean Iā€™ve probably done it myself when I was younger and wasnā€™t Aro, so Iā€™d be a hypocrite if I said it was lol), but itā€™s also a case by case basis. If someone doesnā€™t want people to ship their OCs/self-inserts with THEIR characters, thatā€™s their boundary they donā€™t want crossed and it should be respected (and those who defend that already set boundary are in the right imo). If someone doesnā€™t give a fuck, then go wild. For you self-insert shipper haters; donā€™t try to make a boundary FOR that person. Theyā€™re okay with it, so stop crying about it because it literally does not affect you as the viewer. (Hereā€™s a hint; if you donā€™t like self-insert shipping, *donā€™t read it/look for it!*)
All of this is my view on it. You can agree/disagree with it I really donā€™t give a shit. But the general rule of thumb for shit like this is; if the author is okay with it and has SAID they are okay with it, then shit the fuck up with your complaining. If the author isnā€™t okay with it and has SAID they arenā€™t okay with it, then defend them.
OCs based off of peopleā€™s worlds are cool, but be careful when shipping them with canon characters!
i still hate yā€™all bitches who say oc x canon shit is cringe like bitch you have ANY idea how flattered i would be if someone made an oc for my fantasy world? how utterly PSYCHED my ass would be they loved a character so much they fleshed out one themselves just 2 be with one of mine? fuck yā€™all haters

Dear Mouthwashing fandom, explain to me, why next to the incredible fan art, I find a fuck ton of shipping content, especially between characters where this is highly problematic? SPOILERS FOR MOUTHWASHING AHEAD CN for talk about sexual abuse, death, suicide & violence
DISCLAIMER: I do not shame the general practice of shipping at all. I am a shipper myself and I think it makes up for a lot of interesting dynamics and narratives outside the canon. Shipping is an important pillar of fandom communities and I am unable to forbid you to do it. HOWEVER, in the case of Mouthwashing I want to talk about what, in my opinion, feels tone-deaf to the themes and the canon of the game. But let me start with a short summary of the game before I get into it.
Mouthwashing is basically a visual novel that takes place on the Tulpar, the last manned cargo ship of the company Pony Express. The crew, consisting of Caption Curly, Co-Captain Jimmy, Nurse Anya, Mechanic Swansea and his intern Daisuke, is confronted with a crash against an asteroid and the consequences following it. The story is told out of order to reveal the truth bit by bit. What caused the crash, what happened and how the crew deals with the time afterward being stuck on the ship. Revealing sexual abuse, tragic backstories, the horrible side effects of late state capitalism and the neglect of people in command towards the people they are responsible for.
To boil it down we have two men who, out of societal misogyny, hurt the only woman on their crew by assaulting her or not acting as they should have in their position of responsibility. All of this would not have happened if Jimmy didn't rape Anya and impregnate her, and if Curly had disciplined Jimmy in a capacity possible on the ship and in Jimmy's position as co-pilot. To be honest, with the amount of automatization the ship has, I don't think they need Jimmy if it is not a case of emergency, but I digress. Jimmy is the perpetrator of the story, but Curly is an accomplice in putting his aim of finding a solution and compromise over punishing his subordinate as he should have.
And now to my actual point: I am a big fan of the game, the narration style and the utter tragedy of 5 people losing their lives in the isolation of space, with their company not giving a shit about them. Otherwise, they might have been rescued much earlier or at all. Or had enough cryo pots in the first place. Or a nurse with experience. Or any amount of better equipment and not the most cheap shit that somehow made it through a resemblance of regulations. There are probably no regulations.
Being a fan I, of course, looked into the hashtags on several social media sites, and between the incredible art and analysis of the game, I quickly found shipping content, and I have no idea why. I have literally no idea how that narrative speaks to you in a way of shipping characters romantically/sexually. Especially three shippings really rub me the wrong way.
ANYA/JIMMY
Are you fucking kidding me? Literally, what is wrong with you shipping a victim with their abuser? There was not one interaction between them, that suggest that there was consent or affection, that Jimmy has any sympathy for Anya. He knows what is going on, he knows that Anya is pregnant and takes no responsibility. Even worse, his idea of FIXING this was to kill everyone, at least himself, to avoid responsibility! Same goes for AUs where she kept the baby and is somehow okay and happy? I get the urge to fix it, but that is not a good fix. There is no good fix if you are pregnant due to rape.
ANYA/CURLY
A lot of argument I hear for that is that "at least Curly is her friend and was nice to her" and if that is your whole foundation of argument, I want to ask what your standards for a relationship are. Please know that you deserve more than the bare minimum. Another question in that context: Is Curly really Anya's friend? His friend was abused and instead of protecting her, he tried to reason and help her abuser! That is not the behavior of a friend! There is no "but Jimmy is his friend too!". If your friend is an abuser and that does not make you stop being their friend....why?
JIMMY/CURLY
It feels like it is a law on the internet, that two men who look at least averagely handsome will be shipped, especially if they have the tiniest of connection to each other. I am not even sure if I would call them friends in the first place. It appears that Jimmy, whatever his bad life before that job was (thanks to the developers for not giving us a backstory), he is still absolutely unsatisfied with that he has. He is jealous of Curly and his position, seeing how quickly he takes on the Captain title after the crash and only realizes far too late how hard the position actually is. Curly on the other hand feels a bit like a people pleaser to me. He probably had pity for Jimmy, took him under his wing to help him? Fix him? Whatever it is, it made him ignore Jimmy's bad side to a fatal degree. I respect the toxic yaoi but are you sure?
TLDR; I am worried about how the practice of shipping developed, from a way to extend the canon, explore queerness in cis/straight dominated media, into a compulsion of where some people can't look at any form of media or constellation of characters without immediately smashing them together like dolls. If you do this, maybe step back for a minute and ask yourself if it is appropriate. On that note, same goes in case you defend Jimmy. Why?

For fun how about rating Wukong ship from lmk and give your opinion why?
SWK Ship Ratings
(Scores rank from -10 at the lowest, and 10 at the highest)
Tumblr media
Shadowpeach
Name Rating: 5/10. Basic, but rolls off the tongue. Started the trend of Sun Wukong having extremely basic ship names- more on that below.
Canon Rating: 0/10. Whatever they had in the past, Macaque simply treats Wukong far too awfully to really justify the two of them ever getting together. Even the attempts at reconciliation feel more like extremely forced ship baiting, given how it goes from one of the two being marginally kinder to the other than usual, then immediately dropping it for more sniping. (Past!Shadowpeach receives 5/10.)
Fanon Rating: -10/10. Iā€™ve spoken at length about this, but fans love to distort Wukong into a drooling abuser so stupid he canā€™t breath through his nose, usually while turning Macaque into a Possession Sue who only serves to be the authorā€™s simpering self-insert who is the most perfect little baby of all time who has never ever done anything wrong at all even once. If there is an attempt to be ā€œnuancedā€ or ā€œunbiasedā€ it manifest as ā€œSun Wukong ā€œkilledā€ (re: defended himself against) Macaque so heā€™s worse.ā€ Itā€™s an awful, extremely pervasive dynamic that rots any fandom enjoyment I could have had for this couple.
Personal Enjoyment: 6/10. Getting to write Macaque as the legitimately awful person that he is takes off the edge of seeing constant ā€œuwu sadboiā€ Macaque content. Still, I rarely touch anyone elseā€™s Shadowpeach content because of this.
Tumblr media
Peachlotus
Name Rating: 2/10. As youā€™ll see, most ship names involving Sun Wukong are, uhā€¦ extremely lazy. Just one of the other characterā€™s traits with ā€œpeachā€ slapped before/after it. Fandom really dropped the ball with most of these. This one is especially clunky, at least on my tongue.
(See, Macaque gets stuff like Lunartides, Inkypages, Shadowpeach, etc- all very cool.. We need to diversify the nouns is what Iā€™m saying. Coulda been something like ā€œGingerRootā€ cause orange fur + plant boy. ā€œFlowerBudsā€ for the platonic name for peaches + lotuses. Do you guys see what Iā€™m saying. It canā€™t just be raw peaches all the way down.)
Canon Rating: 2/10. Ne Zha also doesnā€™t treat Wukong too kindly, interacting with him mostly through insults and physical attacks. He does seem to have some understanding of the king, though, which gives him a slight boost over Macaque.
Fanon Rating: 1/10. It barely exists, and what little does exist is essentially just ā€œNe Zha is mad at Wukong over what the fuck ever, so theyā€™re fightingā€ and little more. Thereā€™s a lot of potential for bonding over immortality and awful pasts or being commandeered by domineering authority figures, which I wish was used more often.
Personal Enjoyment: 2/10. I donā€™t see the dynamic, personally. Again, Ne Zhaā€™s only interactions with him are only ever vitriolic or exasperated in nature, which doesnā€™t leave stable footing for a relationship to stand. Maybe Iā€™ll make a chatbot for them one day and see if I come around to it.
Tumblr media
ā€œFreepeachesā€
Name Rating: -5/10. This shit is exactly what Iā€™m talking about with the lazily slapping ā€œpeachā€ onto whatever and going on. ā€œFreeā€ has no meaning between Wukong and Tang- itā€™s just a holdover from a more popular ship. Tang only mooches food from Pigsy. Thatā€™s one of the biggest elements of their dynamic. Sure, Tang likes free stuff (food, rides, physical labor), but when does he ever get that from Wukong? It just makes no sense.
AND IF IT HAD TO HAVE THE FRUIT, TANGYPEACHES WAS RIGHT THERE
Canon Rating: 6/10. Tang literally drew himself and the Monkey King together inside a heart. He adores Wukong, thought maybe not for who he truly is- and the two donā€™t any interaction in terms of Tang realizing his autistic parasocial special interest idol is a lonely old sage who misses his friends, which cripples what was a pretty cute dynamic. I think Tang coming down from his hero worship and being just a genuine friend to SWK would be cute, definitely.
Fanon Rating: 9/10. Pretty enjoyable! Freepeaches is one of the few dynamics where Sun Wukong isnā€™t constantly turned into a punching bag/villain to be beaten around for the amusement of the audience, and the two are often portrayed as legitimately healthy together- I especially enjoy how Tang is portrayed as needing to move past his hero worship for the two to have a healthy relationship. Itā€™s cute.
Personal Enjoyment: 6/10. Never addressing the resemblance to Sanzang or having them interact in regards to this while the circlet is back on Wukongā€™s head feels like a massively missed opportunity, honestly. I think Sun Wukongā€™s personal feelings have been left to the wayside for far too long in canon, and getting to a point where almost every fucking character represses their feelings is lazy and boring.
Tumblr media
Peachbuns
Name Rating: 4/10. Again. Just ā€œpeachā€ slapped onto an adjective or noun. Itā€™s frustratingly boring. This one sounds delicious and both components are related to food at least, which fits Pigsyā€™s backgroundā€¦ but it also sounds like something a horny dude would ask for pics of in your DMs.
Canon Rating: 1/10. Pigsy isnā€™t willing to take any of Wukongā€™s shit, so he serves as a pretty great ā€œbullshit barrierā€ that provides a legitimately strict opposing force to Wukong, but thereā€™s little else to even their relationship out. Heā€™s never kind or supportive or worried- if the two interact, itā€™s always through the lens of ā€œPigsy is mad/suspiciousā€. Thereā€™s never any real bonding or growth between them at all.
Fanon Rating: 4/10. This ship barely exists, and when it does itā€™s Sun Wukong being lectured through life by a big strong man- not a dynamic Iā€™m a fan of. However, it is surprisingly kind to Wukong in terms of empathizing with his struggles. Again, I wish there was less of ā€œPigsy teaches Wukong basic life skillsā€ because it falls right back into the revolting fanon that is ā€œSWK is a big dumb fuck who canā€™t read or cook or take care of himself without a husband to wipe his ass.ā€
Personal Enjoyment: 2/10. I just donā€™t click with it. Pigsy doesnā€™t like Wukong, doesnā€™t trust him, and doesnā€™t interact with him outside of that.
Tumblr media
Moonstone
Name Rating: 10/10. This is what I like! Moonstone is not only a very real (and very beautiful) mineral, but it ties to both of them equally! You donā€™t see Wukongā€™s status as a stone-born demon be referenced often, so this is a refreshing change of pace from the constant ā€œpeachā€ names.
Canon Rating: 7/10. Changā€™e is a lovely woman who is simultaneously not be willing put up with Sun Wukongā€™s bullshit while still legitimately respecting and admiring him. It makes for a nice duality in their relationship that most of his dynamics donā€™t provide.
Fanon Rating: 10/10. The working dynamic is so fucking good to start with that Iā€™ve never once seen fanon drop the ball. Never. This ship is always so fucking sweet and honest with Changā€™e calling out Wukong for his bullshit while never pushing it to the ā€œShit on Sun Wukong Showā€ levels that the fandom loves so much- she takes no shit, but does no harm. Sheā€™s supportive and acknowledges his traumas and fears. Wukong does his best for her. Moonstone shippers get an A+ and extra recess time.
Personal Enjoyment: 7/10. I justā€¦ I really like this one, dammit. Thereā€™s not a lot to go off of, but seeing fanworks that do not primarily treat SWK like living trash/baby the hell out of him is nice.
Tumblr media
Lionpeach
Name Rating: 3/10. Again. Very boring and generic. Iā€™ve seen Fuzzypeach which is a little cuter, at least. Still, itā€™s all the same ā€œpeachā€+noun format.
Canon Rating: 3/10. The devotion Azure bears to Sun Wukong seems like it would bear a higher marking, but itā€™s shallow and flimsy. Azure never understood Wukong, never wanted what was best for him, never cared about his safety or happiness. Azure projects his beliefs and wants onto the people around him, blinding the big fella to shortcomings on their parts, and is delusional enough to never look inwards. Still, I can legitimately see
Fanon Rating: 0/10. Itā€™s just smut. Thatā€™s it. When it isnā€™t itā€™s just ā€œOoooh! Azure is jealous of Macaque! Tee-hee, sorry Azure!ā€ and thatā€™s it. Iā€™ve never actually seen any non-sexual, Azure-focused Lionpeach.
Personal Enjoyment: 5/10. Itā€™s a fun enough dynamic to explore, especially with how unhealthy it is. Iā€™ll probably make a bot of this too one day. Maybe a ā€œyandere dadsā€ type. Or a mutual Primal Moon bot.
Tumblr media
Celestialchaos
Name Rating: 10/10. Another not peach-based name is a win in my book!
Canon Rating: 6/10. Xiangliu is civil enough to Wukong (about as much as everyone else), but the mention of them having once been friends is what got my attention. Shrouded past + + potential reincarnation shenanigans + decently civil behavior = a very happy writer. Itā€™s so little but it makes my brain itch.
Fanon Rating: 0/10. It doesnā€™t even exist babes ;( Iā€™m scrounging for water in the lonely plains of a desert yā€™all. Iā€™m a lonely little cactus and Celestialchaos is my annual three-inch rain.
Personal Enjoyment: 10/10. Cā€™mon now. You all were expecting this. I love this ship. Iā€™ve already made four chatbots. I love Xiangliu as a wild little freak who desperately tries to push Wukong away from other people and sad lonely Wukong finding refuge in a freaky toxic snake. Especially I like the idea of Xiangliu pitting himself against Macaque and going after Sun Wukong just to cause a little trouble, only to actually catch feelings and start pursuing him in earnest. I like ā€œI want you at your worst so I can prove that I still love you even thenā€ Xiangliu and ā€œYou love me at all?ā€ Wukong.
I really like this ship.
End Result
(Scores ranging from -40 to +40)
Shadowpeach= 1/40
(Past!Shadowpeach would around 20)
Lotuspeach= 7/40
Freepeaches= 16/40
Peachbuns= 11/40
Moonstone= 34/40
Lionpeach= 11/40
Celestialchaos= 26/40

Hey bestie, dropping by with a mea culpa. When Peaceful Property started, you expressed concern that GMMTV was inching toward a model of using bl pairs in shows that would avoid being explicitly gay but still draw on shipping fandom to be successful. Coming off The Trainee, which was not a bl but did have expIicitly queer characters and romance subplots, I wasn't sure the intentions were quite that dark for PP, but having now finished it and seen the way some in the production have interacted with shipper fans, I have to call it: you were right to be concerned. At no point was this show ever a bl and none of its principal characters are canonically queer, but they successfully leveraged the TayNew ship to have fans interacting with it as if it was in fact a gay love story, that idea and fan commentary was explicitly encouraged by the creators, and the show has been quite successful despite never actually delivering on all the TayNew bait. I'm definitely concerned that we might have somehow swung back around to queerbaiting being seen as acceptable and good, as long as it features popular branded pairs. I don't have any bigger thoughts to offer about how this should be addressed, but just wanted to come back and say you were valid for naming that!
Thank you. I didn't want to be correct. And I am still hoping to wrong about what this says about where GMMTV is going.
But I am not gonna lie, seeing the posts about the finale did regnite the massive fury I had at this project when it was first called a bromance. So I am going to use your ask as an opportunity to vent.
FOR THE RECORD: I am not mad at you, or at the people and mutual on my dash that have enjoyed the show and are claiming as gay out of spite. My anger is at GMMTV and at GMMTV alone.
THEY DID THIS SHIT TWICE ALREADY!!! Back to fucking back.
I know High Schoool Frenemy is being watched by like 5 people on tumblr. But it's doing well outside of tumblr. They are using bl style fanservice with the 2 main boys of that show. I have seen the shippy content and compilations along with the other bl couples. Not to mention people like Jojo saying those characters are the his new favorite ship on twitter.
AND I AM SO PISSED!!!!
I am glad you brought up TayNew because there is no doubt in my mind that they used TayNew for Peaceful Property as a test. They knew there could be backlash. They knew the bl fandom could have rioted. But they also knew that if it that rage would have been directed at TayNew not at the director, not the company but TAYNEW.
And I think TayNew knew this. Because they spend weeks on social media doing preintive damage control, I have seen the posts of them (or at least New) saying it wasn't going to be romantic. I don't think the two of them forgot how they were left to eat the shit alone over the bullshit backlash during the TayGun kiss situation with GMMTV doing fuck all for them.
And what pisses me off is that BL audience didn't even give a backlash. They eat that shit up like it was fucking icecream.
The BL audience is literally doing their job for them. They are taking a show with some gay subtext and running with it.
They are showing up for the fanservice (again broder audience outside of tumblr), and gleefully closing their eyes and ears and saying well I Think It's Gay.
What do you think Mega Corporation GMMTV is going to take from the success and no backlash? If the answear is anything but: We can produce half of the BLs as usual and make the rest Bromances, you have more faith in corporations then I do.
Because Bromances can be watched by non BL audiences as well. The BL niche is a big one, but it is still a niche.
And now they won't even have to bother inserting arguable quality gay commentary or struggles or homophobia. Or any gay kissing, no more workshops. No more worries about how effective these potential straight boys are going to be at playing gay. All they have to do is making them do fanservice, and they are great at training people for that. Or better yet, actually use one or two ships that have kissed before and done actual BLs.
Will they stop doing BL at all, obviously not, you gotta give the BL audience something to remind them they can still show boys kissing, and we have the Ex Morning and Jojo that will never actually stop making BLs and some gay shit. But if in the next line up we will more bromances, and eventually we get half BL and half bromances I wouldn't be surprised.
Of course maybe I am just pessimistic and cynical. Maybe the proto bdsm in the heart killers is enough to persuade people that I am totally wrong. I guess we will see about that.
Thanks again for the ask and the oppurtunity to vent a little. Again I don't fault anyone for enjoying this, it was design to get the BL audience watching.
I will personally be keeping with my own resolution and never watch another gmmtv show live ever again, maybe binge the few that sound interesting and that's it.
At least I can find comfort in the idea that that other companies do not have the same level of BIG cast of boys and big budget to do the same thing and follow in the bromance trend.

Kremy Lecroux x Morning Frost brain rot
Hear me out, just extremely professionalā€¦ amongst the lines of ā€œnot getting feelings involvedā€ is so them to meā€¦ but realistically, it never truly progress past a few longing glances whilst doing paperwork/tasks and shit. They would help each other out every now and thenā€” pre-canon, canon, and post-canon. The subtext is there but they never acknowledge it nor try to suggest anything to the other. Theyā€™re far too professional and they have other people to worry about.
I hope they never kiss, never hold each otherā€™s handā€¦ just small moments of shared longing then nothing.

i am going to say something that is . well i don't think it's controversial in that i don't think it has been said enough to cause controversy to begin with but skjdfhjds listen. hear me out
tim/ber/kon <<<<<<<<< timiveskon
on the one hand you have an uphill battle to convince me why these characters would even give a shit about each other (plus i mean megfitz massacred their characterizations and thats a whole extra mess) and generally it just reads to me as just treating kon as tim's spare love interest uwu without any care about his character.
but on the OTHER HAND.... timiveskon? chefs kiss. kon and ives are instantly bonding over nerdisms. they are both standing on the table and yelling about the rereleased edition of return of the jedi and kon is going on about how he has the original literally downloaded into his brain and ives thinks that's the sexiest thing he's ever heard and tim is just sitting there consumed by lust while they both yell about greedo. it practically writes itself. come on

sometimes i remember that most north fans donā€™t write him as an absolute insane person ethical manipulative girlfriend style and iā€™m like. what is he even thenā€¦ just a pleasant white man? you know what. more power to you if you need a pleasant white man for a blorbo but god that could not be me
#most ppl write north as just like. a nice person i think.#i know him though. i know him.#like nork is SUCH a popular ship (at least like. historically) and every time i see it i go ā€˜haha that would never workā€™#and then i remember. oh right most ppl write these guys as like. just kind of decent dudes.#nork to me is like. worlds first ethical manipulative girlfriend (not actually ethical) x worlds first manic pixie dream Nice Guy#who both have literally no identity of their own and sure arenā€™t actually giving each other one#theyā€™d be so miserableā€¦#constant battle of ā€˜canā€™t you see what a sacrifice iā€™m making for youā€™#neither of them would ever admit anything was wrong. they both think they can fix it forever#just slowly falling apart. itā€™s fine :) theyā€™re fine :)#n\orkington is even more baffling#i genuinely couldnā€™t even imagine the dynamic there#like i know itā€™s pfl uwu baby wash but even still#heā€™d be so miserable theyā€™d treat him like shit ToT#oh god north/wash. wash run. WASH RUN.#noooo wash my little chameleon you canā€™t stay with him heā€™s going to make you his baby bird#he wouldnā€™t even realize ToT he wouldnā€™t even know why heā€™s unhappy. oh god. wash RUNNNNNNN#i just donā€™t think north should be in a relationship basically#ā€˜what about churchnorthā€™ okay. letā€™s be real. do we really think church should be being in a relationship???#their toxicity perfectly cancels each other out into like. something thatā€™s actually good for both of them#wraps all the way back around. horseshoe theory.#okay this has turned into pure rambling. itā€™s 4am

I'm 100 pages into Moby Dick and they just got on the goddamn boat
This book actually kinda fucks hard it's great?
#Moby Dick#Was not expecting a comedy out of this book tbh#Nor was I expecting homoeroticism#And I was NOT expecting Herman Melville to actually be cool about representing non-Christian religion in a Christian dominated society??#And there's only been one (1) woman in the book so far but she was such a cool character?#Plus there's a shocking amount of class consciousness in this??#Herman Melville Woke King??????#This book came out in 1851 and Ishmael's saying this Pacific Islander he met a couple of days ago is basically George Washington#He does keep calling him a cannibal and the guy does keep talking about doing cannibalism#So it might not hold up to modern standards for racial sensitivity in that regard#But like the man's saying that this guy wanted to give Christianity a try#Figured out that it wasn't for him so he went back to his pagan ways and literal idol worship#And Ishmael was like ā€œWhoa based? God said to love your fellow man and this is man is as equal to me as anyone elseā€#Real shit here honestly#This was pre-Civil War this is amazingly ahead of its time in terms of racial justice#Also: ā€œhell is an idea first born on an undigested apple-dumplingā€ is based as fuck I love this guy so much#The first chapter is a masterpiece#ā€œThis is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the shipā€#THAT IS SO FUCKING GOOD#I can't believe it's taken me this long to START THIS BOOK

"Yona was just added bc Nintendo wants people to stop shipping sidlink!" Literally what the hell are you talking about
#yes nintendo is homophobic. no they do not give a singular shit about what their fanbase does??? what are you talking abouuuutttt#they literally dont care what people do as long as they get money??? like what#listen im upset abt yona having so many unanswered questions. mainly she came from another zora's domain#meaning she came from outside of hyrule. so that leads to a lot of questions.#but howww do you come to the conclusion that she was just added as a 'no homo' indicator#dont even get me started on the people genuinely unironically calling this queerbaiting. what are you onnnnnnn#'and oh but sidon said he used to see her as a sister! so its gross and wrong!' sidon literally thought out loud to links face abt how#had things been different and link had gotten married to mipha he would be his BROTHER IN LAW. SAID THAT OUT LOUD TO HIS FACE. so shh#imo. yona was added for one 'ohh wow exciting new character look at this' and two. as a way for sidon's trauma to be acknowledged#bc it was veeery briefely shown in botw. for like. a singular second if you snuck up on him at mipha's statue#but yona's defining scene in totk was her forcing sidon to confront that he wasn't being himself because of that trauma. and that#he needed to let go of the fear around it. if only temporary. because his people needed him.#so tbh?? sheis very important to the plot. she new mipha. admired her. knows why sidon still struggles with this and#how difficult and frightening everything becomes when he views the world through the lens of 'what if i lose someone again'#like. they added yona for his struggles to be spelled out to the audience even further#so to just boil her down to 'ewww woman gets in the way of my gaybies šŸ˜”šŸ˜”šŸ˜”'. hello. did you play the game.#do you even know who these characters are. quick gimme ten facts about sidons character that you didnt make up for shipping purposes.pronto

People who fancy themselves intellectuals on this hellsite love to condescendingly bring up fandom issues to minimise them or go on about whataboutisms when the question simply is do you think people deserve to be told they ought to die or be abused over fiction and fantasies or nah
