If I had a nickel for every time a non-canon het ship for Namor went mainstream in the Marvel Fandom and the fans became very annoying about it to the point it’s all anyone ever talks about when that character is brought up because both ships have reduced Namor to the Casanova for their female leads then I would have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s annoying that it’s happened twice.

I don’t give a fuck. Stay off my blog.

I support NaShuri fans by leaving them the hell alone to do whatever they want in fandom but that doesn’t mean I can’t rant about the way certain (not all) fans treat Namor as a character or the way fans act in fandom on my own blog. I didn’t tag it with the main ship tag. My issue isn’t with the ship, it’s with the way fans treat Namor, and I can and will hate it if I want to. I do not care that there’s over 700 fics on Ao3, that doesn’t mean I have to acknowledge it’s of any worth to me as a fan of Namor’s character.

SHIPPING IS NOT ACTIVISM.

I’ve shipped way more toxic stuff than Namor/Shuri, and I personally said when the movie first came out and everyone started shipping them, that I could understand why fans shipped them and I understand how big it is for woc in fandom to have Shuri as a Princess being romanced by a god king however that doesn’t mean their ship will “heal generations” that’s not what shipping is. You can literally have them hate fuck and stab each other to death mid orgasm and I won’t judge because I do not care.

Like I sincerely do not care what the fans are doing but I will complain about whatever I want on my own blog and I do not need a lecture from shippers about it. You could have made your own post, you could have screen shot my post and complained about it to your blog or friends or whatever, but you wanted a reply from me so there it is. Now leave me alone.

Nine and ten for choosing the violence ask game!! Also curious about two lol.

Namor Comics

9. worst part of canon

That Namor's side/pov is never taken into consideration and is blamed or made to be the scape goat for the Avengers or [insert team/character]. Like constantly. Doesn't matter the circumstances, doesn’t matter how many times Namor helps, all previous character interactions/dynamics are totally forgotten because Namor is a Total Bitch and he isn't a Real Hero (unless he puts aside his own concerns and only helps the humans or mutants) and he did morally questionable things and we are still blaming him for the Phoenix fiasco but others get to move past it. So Namor looking out for his people is so selfish, and he deserves all the punishment he gets but Marvel brushes over the way they use Namor, the Atlanteans, and Atlantis as constant cannon fodder. Imo Namor is justified in telling a lot of characters to go fuck themselves when they ask him for help.

10. worst part of fanon

The way fans seem to think Namor is some hyper aggressive sex fiend rapist and his entire life & personality revolves around either Sue (comics) or Shuri (mcu).

You know how in canon works many female characters are used for the main male character? Like they have nothing beyond being the romance and every thought/action ever written for them all has to do with the end result of tying them to the main male character? It's like that in reverse for Namor but its all fanon, the fans believe every scene, every comic panel, every waking moment of his life is devoted to getting with Sue or Shuri and completely ignore his history, his drives, his agency, his own supporting characters and love interests. Every single ship joke ever made is unoriginal and boring. There's never anything interesting for Namor in these ships, because it's not about him, it's about the woman being seduced by the exotic underwater king. If I see another Hades & Persephone comparison I'm gonna snap. 😤

Bonus

2. a compelling argument for why your fave would never top or bottom

I will die on the hill that with Namor/Doom I could never believe Namor tops because it's Doom. I'm never going to accept that Namor isn't the bottom in that relationship because imo Victor Von Doom never bottoms, ever. For everyone else Namor is a Switch.
