Fandom Problem #6446:

The shipping situation in one of my current fandoms is super weird. Canon cast is roughly about 75% female and 25% male. There are several friend groups among the cast. Both friend group A and friend group B has two girls and two boys.

For friend group A, they don't like it if you ship two guys together but don't ship the poly version with everyone in the group.The f/f ship is exempt from this and any possible m/f combination in friend group A is also exempt for this as long as you also ship a few gay ships outside of friend group A . They don't call the gay ship problematic because they can't because remember they like the poly version and if they call the gay ship problematic, they poly ship will also be problematic and they can't have that happening now can they? They're calling it the "gay ship for the straights" for now. Call me a conspiracy theorist but I think they're going gradually segue from that to calling everyone who ships it but not the poly ship a fetishizing cishet fujoshi. But for now at least, it's not too bad for the shippers. They just have to deal with a lot of backhanded comments, remarks and insults(not directly flung at them but there's often a post floating around insulting them) but not outright harassment at least.

For friend group B, both the f/f ship and m/m ship are very explicit ship bait. They are very popular as a result. If you ship any m/f combination, be prepared for a VERY unpleasant time. You'll undoubtedly be called lesbophobic if you do that. If you ship the boys with any girls that not in friend group B, it's not as bad but you'll have to deal with neverending comments about how it doesn't make sense even if you're just minding your own business.Blood will be shed if you ship any combination of m/f in friend group B. Also, I cannot stress enough that it's not canon that they're queer. Anyone who says that is really deep in denial. I can't say the media and genre of this series because it will be a dead giveaway what I'm talking about but if I can, you will understand why I say there's a near zero chance of ANY ship becoming canon, straight or not. "But what if I only like the gay ships from friend group A and poly friend group B?" Guess.

Inter-group shipping exist but it's not as popular. But any f/f ship (including poly) is in the clear, even if they've never interacted. The only m/f ships you're allowed to like is from friend group A by the way. I'm not joking, they're the only m/f ones you get to like. There's like 4 possible intergroup ships not including poly ones (but I know they hate the poly ship with all 4 boys). Only like 3 poeple ship 2 of those. One of them is "problematic"  because they're childhood friends and therefore incest. (They're not the only childhood friends in this cast. One of the m/f ship from friend group A and several f/f ships are childhood friends so this is weird but this entire fandom is weird and I don't get their logic.) The last one is the most popular m/m ship out of all the inter-group ships. There's honestly nothing problematic about it and they even interact quite a bit but I suspect they'll find a way. I think they'll either go the "he hates this guy actually" route or "anyone who ships this a fetishising fujoshi" route.

The Kissing Joke

by Lilian

"What is a kiss but an intimidation tactic? A strategic move meant to distract the opponent. In the face of Joker’s infuriatingly winning smirk, it seems like the perfect solution to show how cool Batman is about the this whole thing."

Or, Batman and the Joker start to include kissing in their fights. Surely that's normal and can lead to no problems whatsoever.
