NAYRT

I think you might be reading a little too much hostility into AYRT's comment. I could be wrong, but it sounds to me like they're talking about cases where people latch onto a ship and then start asking for representation in the form of that specific ship. And if that is what they're saying, I kind of agree with them.

Remember back when J. K. Rowling announced that Dumbledore is gay? There was a very vocal subset of Remus/Sirius shippers who flipped their shit because to the, the wrong character had been confirmed gay. Now, Dumbledore being the only canonically non-straight character isn't really great representation, but that was not their argument. They were mad that it hadn't been their ship instead.

It's true that in many source materials there is one particular relationship that seems like a very good candidate for becoming canon if the creator(s) wanted to add diversity, but if it should happen that a different same-sex relationship is confirmed instead, chances are the fans throwing a fit about it were just using the representation angle to make their shipping preferences seem more legitimate. And I say this as someone who both wants more diversity in their entertainment AND has same-sex ships they wish were canon.
