See…this is something I don't get.

If you ship a canon pairing, by definition, isn't it impossible for you to be persecuted?

You likely have millions of dollars, studios, and professional writers behind your pairing and all fans of the work (whether they like the pairing or not) are forced to watch it onscreen or read it in the work if they want to continue being fans.

Exactly.

Sigh. Do we really need to have the fanfic equivalent of the "racism v. institutional racisim" talk again. Just because somebody isn't put out by "the system" doesn't mean they can't be put out by their peers.

Um…what?

I'm just saying that slash fans largely exist in their own bubble in fandom.

If you like a canon pairing, the existence slash fans isn't going to change what's on screen.

Nor are slash fans preventing you from talking to like-minded fans or reading fanfic or looking at fan art of the canon couple.

And it's certainly possible to engage with slash fans on other levels besides shipping (discussing the plot and special effects or the writing for example) where you might have more common ground. So I'm not seeing how anyone's being "put out by their peers."

Otherwise, the only solution would be to DEMAND that people ship the canon couple. Which just sounds entitled to me.

Het shipping is considered normal. I'm not sure if it completely impossible for het shippers to meet some oppression but it's certainly rare in the fandoms I'm in.
