It pisses me off that a loud minority of Spuhura fans defend basically everything in the Star Trek reboots and the writers because Spock and Uhura being a couple is apparently so very progressive that it cancels out all the other shit in the new films.

LOL no. I can't take that opinion seriously. Liking the pairing is fine. But stop pretending that other fans don't have legitimate reasons to be pissed off.

Spuhura fans are still doing their thing, huh? If you dislike the new movies it's because you're a bitter K/S shipper.

And, uh. Kirk/Uhura had a thing way back in the '60's. I mean it wasn't a full fledged relationship, but there was definite mutual attraction beyond subtext.

Just a few of them, to be fair.

But CHRIST are they LOUD.

I read this article the other day:

http://threatquality.com/2013/05/26/dramaturgery-star-trek-into-darkness/

And some Spuhura shipper wrote a HUGE response to a minor aside and said to the author:

“In short, it’s not all about the men only and perhaps you don’t give a shit about the women but these men do and it’s disingenuous to pretend that there is no obvious emotional connection between the members of the opposite sex.”

Just because he made a two sentence remark in his giant essay about Spock and Kirk being the only emotional relationship that even kind of works. And even then, he said it was most likely accidental.

Like, sorry, but having issues with how women are portrayed in the reboots =/= not giving a shit about women.

That article is wonderful.

Kirk and Spock's relationship in that movie only makes sense to me through the "they are so fucking in love" lens.

I thought so as well, admittedly. It was really the most enjoyable part of the movie for me (one of the ONLY enjoyable things to be completely honest). But I've had Spuhura fans call me racist and sexist for saying so. And that one commentator clearly had no qualms telling the author of that piece that he was a misogynist for his (what seemed to me) innocent side note.

I'm sorry I interpret the scenes differently than they do. But I don't think that justifies their attacks and I'm SICK of it.

Slightly OT -- I'm always amused when people talk about Spock/Uhura (who I happen to ship) in terms of race, because Spock is half alien, ffs! Whoever you ship him with, species surely trumps race or sex?!
