#so if you say i'm a bigot for pushing CompHet ideals and misogyny YOU'RE actually the bigot

The vitriol some have about Bo and Din being absolutely canon is what I find strange. They’re all fictional characters that are fun to make up stories and AUs about; no ship is better than the other, it’s all about creating joy with some fandom friends.

It’s just the incessant need for a CisHet ship to “WIN” and be CANON that's off-putting. If you like shipping two characters, cool! Have fun! But acting like you’re somehow the most right for interpreting a fictional couple as heterosexual is wild.

The victimhood narrative specifically, that shippers of straight characters need to come together in solidarity to save themselves from the mean lesbians, is what hurts the most. LGBTQIA+ folks finding peace in their free time by envisioning their fav characters as queer & trans is not an attack on heterosexual people.

While I’m not 100% sold on either ship, I think it’s funny that Bo-Katan and The Armorer’s ship is more objectively a thing canonically than the Bo and Din ship.

I say this because The Armorer at least touched Bo-Katan on-screen where Din did not (you could have sold me when he gave his loyalty vow if he’d just touched her… or even if he’d been closer than three feet away while delivering it -which he wasn’t … never mind the fact that he’d delivered a similar loyalty pledge to Boba Fett in TBOBF and no hets ship the two of them…I digress).

And, ultimately, Bo-Katan and the Armorer are objectively rebuilding Mandalore together while Din is living his best life on Navarro with Grogu in his own little cabin while being a Bounty Hunter for the new Republic.
