"You shouldn't romanticize X trope" "You shouldn't romanticize X ship in media" "You shouldn't write about X in a romanticized way"

Well-

Why don't you just stay away from your trigger content instead of forcing people to consume what YOU want them to consume?

It's always "People shouldn't write about this" "People will see X abusive ship and think it's okay irl" "People will see this and think X trope it's okay" "People will see this and think doing X in real life is okay" "People will turn into rapists/murderers/abusers if they see rapes/murders/abuse in media".

But it's never "People are responsible for what they consume" "People are responsible for their own actions" "If someone does X bad thing is not the media's fault, but the person's fault for having such bad morality" "If you feel triggered by some content, just block it" "People should teach others what's wrong and what's right instead of just hoping media will tell them murder is bad, killing someone is bad, abusive relationships are bad, etc"

Honestly, if you're a person who uses the word "romantizice" or you say "people shouldn't romanticize [X] in fiction" "victims of [X] will feel triggered with this and you shouldn't write about it" you are instantly a red flag for me. I want toxic people and pro-censorship people to stay away from me, thank you.

Just saw a post where someone complained that, because of a few of the likely hundreds of Zutara-fics, all Zutarians are being accused by antis of having...certain toxic fetishes, which is not true (and where Katara and Zuko are OOC btw). Those few individuals don't stand for the whole fandom, something everyone who can count to three should know...

Up to this point, I was absolutely with this person as a Zutarian myself. I couldn't find this post anymore, so those aren't the exact words, but after agreeing on all of this, they then claimed in the next paragraph: "It's not like we are Reylo or Dramione." And I was like: "Dude, are you for real, now?!"

I used to ship Dramione as a teen, starting before the last two Harry Potter-books had been released. Fandoms weren't much of a thing back then, and I also didn't write my headcanons down, but I still know exactly what I wished for: That Draco would become good, switches sides, and Dramione afterward fall in love with each other. I'm fine with Romione, but still think it's too bad—how much of an epic romance that would've made...

I stopped shipping them eventually, but I'm still absolutely sure that the majority of Dramione shippers have headcanons similar to mine. And I'm not into Star Wars, but I'm also sure the same thing goes for Reylo.

It's hypocritical to speak against antis for one ship, but then show the same behavior as them when it comes to another... Let people enjoy their ship without judgement.

Edit: I still was so happy, though, when I watched the anniversary two years ago and learned that Emma Watson had a crush on Tom Felton. 😄

reylos crying on twitter because Adam Driver explicitly confirmed that Bendemption was never originally in the plans for Kylo....this is justice for the last 8 years, actually

I bring a sort of 'Men and by extension male characters deserve to be praised for going above and beyond for their female love interests,not doing the bare minimum or even actively treating them badly but changing their minds once they realize they want to date them and the latter is actually more male entitlement than enemies to lovers' vibe to fandoms that fake toxic masculinity haters don't really like

[thevillainsfangirl]

Some bitches are truly so mad about a ship that they're more obsessed with that ship than the shippers are. They'll write essays, whole fanfics, make fanart, Pinterest hate boards, hate blogs, just to hate on that ship. They'll even write their hate all over the Fandom Wiki pages so that new fans believe their bullshit.

Maybe spend your time loving the ships you actually enjoy instead of constantly spreading hate about the ones you don't?

Reylo being the heart of Star Wars (much like Anidala before them) is showcased beautifully in TLJ & barely there in TROS.

I'll never understand how incompetent JJ Abrams is at making a fucking Star Wars movie. Like I'm sitting here thinking "How tf is this dude still making movies??? Why is he the definition of boring? Why is he so blind to how Rian Johnson almost saved The Sequel Trilogy by fixing the mess you made"

[twilighttitties]

Looking back at the reaction to reylo was so insane like the way you bitches acted like if the two space wizard kissed the domestic violence rates would go up 😭 truly hellish times

"Most of the jedi were just white people"

Okay fair SW does focus a lot on its white human jedi, it IS a Hollywood movie after all. but in the context of the prequels Anakin Padme and Obi-Wan are meant to be parallels to Han Luke and Leia. You also forget Mace Windu, Ahsoka, Finn (yes i count him a jedi) and Ezra exist. Like Ezra was THE main character of his show. And even if the main human jedi are white they were still threatened by the Empire who are explicitly Human Supremacist and based on the Nazi Party. Then you have to consider save for Leia, Luke was a farmboy, not exactly high class if you ask me.

Whenever I say 'Dramione is crap' people be like: you don't like enemies to lovers.

ETL is one of my most favourite romance genres. In ATLA I ship Katara with both zuko and azula. Don't like a single canon ship. In starwars(I don't even finished watching) I do like reylo. I do love Kate and Anthony in Bridgerton. But in Bridgerton all romances are good.

ETL isn't the problem with dramione. Draco is. He is the crap I can't get behind. And especially that OC they call fanon Draco.

"You can't ship [X] ship because it's morally wrong" "Shipping [X] is bad because it's toxic, abusive, etc" "You can't like [X] character because they commited crimes".

To all the people who say this or similar things, well done. You have such a bad morality that you prefer to have a blog/make posts criticizing people who ship two CHARACTERS and/or like a villain/morally grey character rathen than criticize homophobes, transphobes, ableists, racists, sexists, terfs, fascists, far right wingers, real murderers, real abusers, real rapists and more.

Congratulations of being the human of the year. Because obviously caring more about people who enjoy not-so-light fiction is better than caring about real life problems (like yk, all of the things I said before,and poverty, global warming, etc).

So again, and I'm tired of saying it: if you have that DNI in your bio, DO. NOT. INTERACT. WITH. ME.

Understood? Or you don't have a brain inside your head to comprehend my words? Well- knowing that you care more about fiction than reality it wouldn't be a surprise-

To all my fellow shippers of these ships: HAPPY NEW YEAR <3 And I wish you an AWESOME 2025 and happy life 💖💖💖

not to dredge up old discourse but its still legitimately such a tragedy that rey, one of the only main female protagonists in star wars, had so much potential and her story was reduced thru fandom & writing choices to a toxic relationship with a genocidal whiny ass man. she deserved so much more as a character, and could have been so much more

'Real intellectuals in fandom love complex ships'And the complexity is rape culture

[icedsodapop]

Why having a literature landscape monopolized by published Reylo fanfiction is not good:

The whole publishing Reylo fanfiction is also getting much more racially diverse because you are also seeing women of colour like Thea Guanzon and Molly X. Chang join in the fray, and their books are led by characters of colour to reflect their authors as well. However, this adds on another problem where the veneer of racial diversity of the recent slate of published Reylo fanfiction lends even more legitimacy to the genre even if the representation is... questionable, subpar and dangerous at worst.
