Re: Het Erasure?

What? what even was the context?

I'm pretty sure I've never seen anyone having their heterosexuality erased.

It's a comment under yesterday's 7th secret. The one about Uhura, if you want to look.

I mean, the commenter did make some good points too, but the whole "het erasure" thing boggled my mind a bit.

here's the context

http://fandomsecrets.dreamwidth.org/1154732.html?thread=809661356#cmt809661356


OP of this post turned it into another thing when clearly, the point is completely different. The discussion is not just about het in general either.
It was in reply to the fact that for some people
woman in a relationship/het couple=weak female character ruined by writers
even if the said female character being in a relationship, het that is, might be a step forward since she's a black woman who wasn't allowed to be in any relationship in the original source material because of the sexism and racism of the era when it was created.
In way, some people in that secret (especially the dumbass in the other thread who apparently thinks that her crying because her friend just died, and her kissing her boyfriend, are things that make her a bad female character) want to 'erase' her canon het relationship (that in this case symbolizes the fact that racism doesn't forbid the writers from having her in a relationship anymore) to make her fit with unreasonable, and honestly sexist, standards of what qualifies as 'strong woman'.
