#anti dinbo

[cosmicluci]

Bo and the Armorer have some absolutely, delisciously, queer tension in those few brief scenes of theirs.

And Bo has long been Mandalorian Queen of Lesbians.

So here's Mandalorian lesbians in power, an idea that just does things to me.

As a little side note... I also really don't like the idea of Bo with Din. For one because of how many hetero couples we already have (and how bad most are) in Star Wars, but also because the two of them just act like cool combat bros.

i do not support dinbo under any circumstances. that woman is CLEARLY a lesbian.

dinbo artists stop drawing din without his helmet challenge

Ok I'm hesitant to ask this but... why do people hate dinbo so much?

I am pretty much completely indifferent to the ship personally I just have no comprehension why it's so hated. The other hated ships in this fandom are like master/padawan, anything involving the clones, reylo (which again I don't really get why it's so hated so feel free to explain that one too), then just your standard age difference, underage, incest, unhealthy reasons that appear in every fandom.

So uhh I'd appreciate some civil explanations please?

DinBo is the new Reylo and I mean that in the least positive way possible

I’m kind of glad that I decided to create a Star Wars Twitter lurker account because if I hadn’t, I would have completely missed this whole DinBo / Katee Sackhoff debacle.

Like… to preface, Katee says some crazy shit in interviews. She’s clearly joking around most of the time. I think it’s great, entertaining and funny. Katee is great. I mean, see the 2% comment among other crazy things that she has said in interviews. And during that particular interview (the 2% interview), she’d mentioned that “they’d” (not clarifying who, but my guess is her and Brendan Wayne) discussed a potential DinBo situation but that it wasn’t going to happen because of the whole Din-doesn’t-remove-his-helmet predicament.

So, I chuckle because 1.) Dave isn’t going to canonically pair his strong women with anyone “just because” his words, not mine and 2.) Narratively, DinBo just doesn’t make much sense as both Din and Bo are busy as shit doing their own things that are not going to be conducive to a romantic relationship… at least not now.

So… when I heard that Katee said that they’d cut out a kissing scene during that moment where Din pledged his loyalty to Bo on that ship on Mandalore, I was taken aback. Mainly because while I know there are A LOT of cishets that swear there were romantic subtexts in that scene, I just failed to see it. There could have been as there was ample opportunity. If Din had just touched Bo in that scene; a shoulder touch, a soft caress in the small of her back, I may have seen the touchdown, your het vision… but you horny hets are trying to throw a Hail Mary at a target that isn’t even there. He was, like, two feet from her the entire scene. And, we obviously could not see Din’s face or the look in his eyes as he said it. The body language, the looks, they weren’t screaming “BONE”.

But then, a day later, Katee had to clarify in a Tweet that it was all a joke. That Brendan Wayne helmet bumped her AS A JOKE and that it wasn’t planned or written anywhere that “the kiss” was supposed to happen… and Katee was completely surprised at how her words were so hopelessly twisted.

And, once again, this tells me two things that I already knew… 1.) Dave is NOT going to put his strong women in relationships canonically “just because”. The only way it will happen is if it is absolutely required to serve the story. A Din and Bo relationship would actually completely railroad the current direction of the narrative. 2.) Narratively, DinBo just doesn’t make much sense as both Din and Bo are busy as shit doing their own things that are not going to be conducive to a romantic relationship… at least not now. Bo-Katan is going to rule Mandalore. She’s going to have to stay on Mandalore primarily to do that. Her WHOLE ASS character arc has been about her calling to rule Mandalore after her sister’s death. This is the way. Din is going to train Grogu in the ways of the Mandalorians by bounty hunting for the New Republic. He didn’t even bother to set up his homestead on Mandalore for even periodic “I’m-in-the-neighborhood-so-let’s-nookie” time with Bo. He settled on Navarro with Grogu… just he and Grogu.

Side Note: I think it’s totally okay and fair for Katee to ship Din and Bo. She’s a cishet, and you guys do this. I think it should be taken with a grain of salt though. After all, Katee also said that Bo and Ahsoka would absolutely discuss that ass slap from the first time they met the next time that they got together, and I just can’t see that being a “narrative win” that Filoni would allow. Ultimately, Katee does not have any more clairvoyance into future stories than we do. I know this because when you work for a company that likes to keep secrets, they tell you absolutely nothing. She will know before we do, but she will also sign a NDA that will prohibit her from saying anything.

And, at the end of the day, you DinBo hets will probably forget all about DinBo if Din shows up in the Ahsoka series, and you’ll start shipping Din with Ahsoka then… which, also will not happen. But, I guess you can keep dreaming.

I'm not even sorry. I'm a proud DinBo hater! 😋

All I'm saying

and update to [this] post. please stop trying to moralize silly fictional ships and have some fun for a change.

...my Profile Picture on Facebook for 19 April (my Cover Photo is from here as cannot resist -- my two Mandalorian OTPs in one screenshot). There are 5 people left in this show I would protect at all costs from the season finale, and I do not believe the Clan of Three to be in any actual danger. So that leaves two. Please, I will cry. Chapter 11 was a formative one in pulling me into the show, when the sequel trilogy had already disillusioned me out of lifelong membership in the fandom. I would hate to see any of the characters deprived of further development in Season 4. Especially as we are going to remain local to Mandalore anyway until the film.

Anti dinbos:

[rainybearstudio]

Hi there! Long time lurker and I am in LOVE with your Dinbo art! I heard you mention in one of your notes that there's a Dinbo Discord Server? How does one get invited to this wonderful party??

There is! Unfortunately we’ve had some issues with antis joining and causing discord (lol) so join links have been kept under wraps. You can message @lux-ishii, one of the admins, for a join link!

(Here’s a bonus Dinbo.)

[buckybarnesss]

i am not tagging this for obvious reasons because lol i'm not inviting that onto my blog

can't help but notice that the second people began to notice that din and bo-katan could potentially become a romantic thing the concept of found family was shut down hard by some within the fanbase and turned into the insular sentiment of "clan of two forever and ever and ever"

as if din and grogu never having outside, supportive relationships in different forms with other people is healthy. as if din cannot have a separate relationship for himself outside of being grogu's parent as if being that is his whole identity forever (which also ignores that bo-katan and grogu developed their own little relationship separate from din).

bo-katan only became acceptable to some as someone in din and grogu's life as the wine aunt or lesbian aunt as if these aren't tired stereotypes and the idea that it's only okay if it's gay. just how apparently the only din ships are okay if they're gay OR a non-threatening, more traditionally acceptable female that can be projected upon because she's so very clearly out of the narrative because some of the reaction to bo-katan is some of the same reaction i saw around for cara dune when she was still a possibility for shipping with din.

this is not me saying everyone is like this. far from it. fandom is a big place full of diverse opinions but i've personally observed this kind of sentiment. you don't have to ship something for any reason at all but it's telling how there's been a weird reaction to dinbo and the enforcement of "my headcanon is the only thing acceptable".

also i'm tired of seeing antis in the damn tag.

[klatchshy]

Dinbo is so lame I’m sorry.

last week I made a post ranting about how strange this season has been and wondering why in the world Bo Katan has become the co-lead this season and why they fucked her over and put her back to square one for no good reason and I couldn’t figure it out but I think I get it now.

She is ONLY here as a love interest for Din. Someone decided that Din needs a girlfriend bc romance sells. They’ve done their damnedest to try and justify it and give her a character arc and make her matter but it’s contrived and weak.

I was trying not to anger people but I’ll say it. I’m a Din x Bo hater, I hate everything about it and if it becomes canon I’ll actually scream. It’s not just a matter of it not being my ship, it’s that they’ve laughably handled BOTH characters to make Din this blank slate so they could have room to focus on her and they made her a perfect uninteresting royal girlboss archtype who’s only problem was making a deal to save her people and not addressing the fact that she was a terrorist and a horrible person to both Din and Boba, which is what would have made her an interesting antagonist and maybe eventual ally. I don’t care what I ship, I’d never want characters to be this badly mischaracterized just to make it happen. Feel free to block me if it upsets you but if DinBo happens it’s shit writing imo 🤷‍♀️

[doritooooo]

Ok so the fact that Katee didn't dismiss DinBo and say their relationship is platonic and even said "you never know" should have the antis VERY concerned.

Especially sense Katee probably can't disclose information for obvious reasons.

[flilisskywalker]

I find the anti Dinbo perspective that Bo can't have a romance with Din because she is too busy leading so limited. Like, that's the MAND'ALOR, if one day she says "I'M MARRYING THIS IDIOT.", who's gonna tell her no.

She can do everything lol

When anti Sabezra or anti Dinbo people say they will hate the shows if the ships end up canon:
