I can totally understand how overbearing shipers can put you off things. However the books don't explicitly state either way and, unlike most OTPs, Remus/Sirius could be seen as a valid interpretation of the canon. Just from an objective pov.

It does piss me off when people insist it is the only interpretation though.

It's not canon, though. You can ship it just fine, it's just not canon.

Yep. Canon=/=any logically plausible interpretation. I wish more people understood the difference.

I completely agree. There needs to be some sort of PSA throughout fandom of this point.

*shrugs* Wasn't really my point. I know that's what the OP is saying, but it's not what I was saying. Was just offering my two cents.

I agree - there's nothing ruling out Remus/Sirius, and nothing ruling it in. It's not against canon, just not in canon either. That's the kind of queer ship that ruled up until recently, and in many canons is still the only option.

No. Remus at least is canonically straight. Yes, it is stated. Sirius is heavily implied to be straight. And if Sirius loved anyone it would've been James. There's no basis at all to believe those two are a couple. None.

Ugh. I find the Sirius/Remus crap so annoying. It's like no one can believe two men can be close friends, nope gotta be gay. Gross.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-10 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Let me clarify--"gross" refers to sexualization period, not specifically gay sexualization. I just haaaaate it when every single interaction/friendship/whatever is sexualized in the Potter fandom. Don't even get me started on Drarry. Just let friends (or in Draco and Harry's case, bitter enemies) be friends.

na

I don't think Remus/Sirius is real at all, but where is it stated that Remus is straight? (Did Rowling state it or is it in the books somewhere? I haven't re-read them in a while) I know that he got with Tonks, but that's not irrefutable evidence that he's heterosexual.

There was a lot of really misogynist hated in the R/S fandom for Tonks because apparently that plotline was denying Remus' homosexuality even though SIRIUS WAS DEAD AT THE TIME.

And so the invisibility of bisexuality continues.
