99% of the time you can tell which person in a ship is the shipper’s fav by who they insist is the bottom.

Was going to watch The Amp Theory’s reaction to the Are You Sure? trailer, and had to click away.

I’m not going to complain about whatever they said about not shipping, because I don’t know what they said and that is not a problem for me. Shipping is fun and doesn’t really mean much if you’re someone sane, but I don’t like their comment section being filled with people praising them for “shutting shippers down”.

It tells me they chose not to entertain the thought, and that’s fine too, but this fandom overall is full of hypocrites and liars. People who pretend to agree that all shipping is bad, yet will secretly ship their faves or believe every heterosexual dating rumor that pops up. That’s what I dislike.

I dislike reactors who cater to that crowd, because it’s disingenuous. Not saying the guys over at Amp Theory ship in secret or anything, as they have a ton of kpop content on their channel and likely have zero time to care. But, if their comment section is anything to go off of, their views likely align with the idea that Jimin and JK aren’t dating simply because. No real reason, because reactors who claim to be against shipping (in this fandom specifically) only do so for as far as heteronormativity exists.

Not enough people in this fandom are willing to use gender neutral pronouns when talking about the group’s gender neutral lyrics. Not enough people in this fandom use he/him pronouns when talking about lyrics written by the members themselves that insinuate they have been in relationships with men. Not enough people in this fandom are even willing to acknowledge things said in interviews that insinuate the members have already been through their coming out stages in their personal lives. So why is it that inner band shipping is so often made out to be a joke or something a reactor refuses to engage with, when they do it already? They already believe all seven members like women, so what’s stopping them from thinking they like men too?

Again, I don’t know what was said, and I’m not complaining about them choosing to make it known they won’t tolerate ship discussions. But I always think of it like this, if shipping is disgusting to you or something you will never talk about, what would you do if the members being shipped actually turn out to be queer? Or in a relationship with one another?

It is obviously a hypothetical, because we’ll likely never know if any of them are queer outside of our assumptions. Based on many things, yes, but still there is no confirmation technically… kind of.

Point is, no one has to react to ship content. No one has to talk about ships if they don’t want to, but imagine spending years curating a BTS centric channel, and not once thinking about who they might be outside of their public images.

Imagine claiming to be a fan who supports them no matter what, yet the second you react to a video where two members who are often the target of hateful rhetoric are hanging out and having fun, and the entire aspect of their dynamic is almost completely rooted in their bond being much more couple-like than any of their friends, yet you choose to say, “We won’t entertain ship talk, because it’s not real no matter what.” (Again, not what the guys of Amp Theory said, I’m referring to reactors as a whole, because they aren’t the only ones.)

Reactors want attention, it’s how they make their money, I get it, but the members are in fact real people. They will not always match up to our expectations of them. Meaning, maybe they aren’t queer and we’re all just misunderstanding things. I doubt that though, and it truly irks me to my core that people will entertain just about anything except queerness. They will react to damn near whatever video is available to them that allows them to milk BTS for views, and Army will eat that shit right on up, making these channels huge, but the second any of them ask about or choose to watch Jikook content specifically, they have to either disclaim not believing JM and JK could have feelings for each other, or they ignore it entirely.

Then if Jikook antis are loud enough, they apologize and react to every other pairing a million times and Jikook never again. Because Jikookers are often painted as the worst within the fandom, because this fandom has a hard-on for Tkk. Which I would argue is because they’re not as questionable in their actions, so the reactors themselves don’t end up feeling any type of way, and they get to benefit off of the views.

Anyway. I was hoping to see more reactions to the trailer and I wish I hadn’t read their comments first, but I did so it is what it is.

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

[mfshipbracket]

me voting against reylo everytime a new poll comes across my dash:

if i had zero self-preservation instincts, i would be like—what if i made one of those "daily x" blogs and it's just a poll pitting something vs reylo every single day just to keep the comedy train going.

but i have at LEAST one self-preservation instinct. and i don't hate myself OR reylo enough to commit to a bit lasting longer than this bonus round. so i shan't. but i'm so glad you're having fun :)

every time someone takes one of my posts about mel and viktor and makes it about someone else or some other ship an angel loses its wings

I want the managers of Mattel and MGA doll drops and the descendants writers to lower my coffin into the ground so they can all let me down one more time

[greensaplinggrace]

unfortunately i'm like 160 episodes into tma and still don't get the obsession with martin. like i don't hate him but also- literally every other character and relationship is more interesting. also fanon version of him sucks lol. canon version of him is actually appealing to me in some ways, but considering fanon martin makes 90% of tma fic unreadable, i'm not too stoked about even having him tagged half the time.

[tubbytarchia]

Gonna do that shipping bingo game but for every ship that people ask me about I just show full support towards it and a thumbs up and thats it

[starlingchildgazingatthestars]

I don't think we as a fandom talk enough about how most Weasley-bashing stems from internalized anti-ginger sentiments and how horrific it is that something very harmful is just brushed under the rug cuz it's not "as important" as other forms of bigotry.

"these chronically online gay people are taking over the fandom this is why i want to leave"

okay?? leave. you guys are the reason the bullying started in the fandom. this show was made for nerds let us have this. the mcs are literally dnd fans, will canonically cosplayed. those are the main characters. the show was never for you. you're allowed to enjoy it, but dont act as if we're the intruders. you came into our space, took over, and then started acting as if we showed up midway.

we're making the show unnecessarily gay? everything we're saying will never happen? this is clearly your first fandom because the thing about FANdom is that people can use these preexisting characters and have fun with them so they can create content outside of the show. so yes, we are going to be shipping characters that never showed any romantic interest to each other canonically. we will be shipping characters that never met. that is the POINT.

the theme of the show is accepting your differences and not trying to change parts of yourself for the sake of normalcy and general acceptance. we have fun with the out there fan theories, the impossible ships, the alternate universes. this always has been for fun. for some reason though, you have decided to have a stick up your ass at the idea that someone enjoying themself. have you never heard about curating your own online experience? the block button is free. use it.

stop acting as if you have some weird superiority above us. idgaf if you think it's cringy. it was never about you in the first place.
