The fans don't want a gay/bi lead character. They want Destiel to be canon.

You're right.

Thing is, I never understood this thought. What do they think is going to happen if Destiel were to happen? That Dean and Cas would settle down and have a perfect life? Come on. Do they watch the same show as I do? Castiel would be killed or written off the show. That's what happens to Dean's loves. He's a Winchester. Winchesters are not allowed to have healthy relationships.

Yup.

Same can be said with Sterek.

If Stiles did realize he was bi on the show and had a relationship with a boy his age, these people claiming "representation!!!" would still not be happy because it's not Derek.

(Anonymous) 2014-07-12 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Bullshit. They'd be happy, or at least a lot happier (of course they'd prefer their OTP to be canon, like.. duh).

(Anonymous) 2014-07-12 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Why the heck are you generalizing fans like that? I'm a fan, and I would love a gay/bi lead character.

PS - there is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting Destiel to become canon.

(Anonymous) 2014-07-12 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
No, there's nothing wrong with wanting Destiel to become canon.

What's wrong is when some people treat it like a rights issue, and harass the people who work on the show over it, and call people who don't ship it "homophobes."

(Anonymous) 2014-07-12 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
This.

(Anonymous) 2014-07-12 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and that represents 100% of Destiel fans.

oh wait.

Yay stupid generalizations, so easy to do when you don't like a particular pairing.

(Anonymous) 2014-07-12 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, defensive. It is a massively commonly expressed view in that fandom, don't try to pretend otherwise.

(Anonymous) 2014-07-12 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
nope.

Wanting is one thing. Fooling yourself into thinking it will ever happen is another.

(Though I am not saying you in particular are fooling yourself, only that some fans of the pairing do.)

(Anonymous) 2014-07-12 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Ding ding ding, we have a winner!

For some fans, sure, it's probably about bisexual representation.

But for many of them, I get the impression that it's not about queer issues. Otherwise they'd be clamoring for other media with gay/bi lead characters.

It's about using queer issues as a sort of moral justification for how canon their ship is. And that pisses me off.

//Otherwise they'd be clamoring for other media with gay/bi lead characters.// ... you mean the media they are not following? riiight.

(Anonymous) 2014-07-12 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
You are wrong.
