Genuine question alert ! Where you talking about specific characters in your 'bastardize the female character to male the male character gay' post?

yes! I could cite a ton of different instances but that post specifically is about BJ and Peg Hunnicutt, who are very in love and have a healthy relationship and a daughter, but Peg is often shoved aside or otherwise bastardized/villainized to push Hunnihawk as a ship because people really dont want to acknowledge that BJ is married and in love

#im a Hunnihawk shipper myself btw but in the way where its poly and its Punnihawk #like. being in love with Peg is a significant facet of BJ's character #its foundational to him you dont have BJ without his love for his wife #and yet people will act like his marriage literally doesnt matter!#or they'll completely bastardize Peg #and turn her into a villain so they can just divorce them in fic so that BJ seems justified in abandoning his family #and it makes me real mad!#I really really hate the gay BJ headcanon because like. bi people exist #what BJ and Peg have is not comphet or whatever #BJ loves her legitimately and truly loves her #again I do ship him with Hawkeye! im a Hunnihawk shipper!#but I dont read him as gay at all he's bi in my reading of him #because his love for Peg is ESSENTIAL to his character #you cant take that away and still have BJ. he's an OC at that point #and it just. strikes me as biphobic frankly #to shove aside his clear love for Peg just to further a mlm ship #but yeah thats my rant #ive been in a mood about it today #I feel like im swinging a bat at a hornet's nest with this but im in a mood about it so I dont really care
