Yeah...no.

Don't know anything about Shadowhunters but 99% of the time, shipping a canon LGBT character straight isn't about 'ship what you want' or whatever bullshit excuse gets trotted out. It's crap like "fixing" or "curing" the gay character. Or garbage like "seeing how those damn gays like someone taking one of their characters!".

[(Anonymous)]

LOL what? Since when have fundies been into writing fanfiction?

I have never seen a gay character shipped in a straight pairing that was about curing them. Usually the in-fic rationale, if there is any, is the character realizes they're actually bi or says they're still gay and the other person is their only exception.

"Since when have fundies been into writing fanfiction?"

Allow me to introduce you to a fic called My Little Unicorn . . .

(There's also Reality Check, but he's less a fundamentalist and more a walking embodiment of everything The Colbert Report parodied.)

Since always. Fundies exist in fandoms. They're usually the same type of people that write in to networks or authors complaining LGBT characters exist or demanding they be changed to straight or removed from things entirely. I've even met a group in an old fandom that went around trying to commission artists to draw fan-art of gay characters in straight ships so they could 'flood out the gay crap'.

I've never seen this magical scenario you've described in any fandom. It's always bullshit like "I was never gay after all LOL!" or "This girl has cured me of my horrible affliction with her boobs!".

OP

This "magical scenario" is exactly the one being described in the secret, the ones the blog target most often. Again, literally every person featured on said blog has acknowledged liking Magnus/Alec, it's often just a case of those reader-insert fics being written where the reader happens to be female. Or Clary.Alec, which people mainly seem to like because of the actors rather than any belief that the canon characters belong together.

you don't necessarily have to be a fundie to have homophobic thoughts/inclinations, especially since they're pretty widespread. of course most fanfics aren't going to outright have a female character say to a gay character, "I will cure you of this evil!" but they'll easily fall into old stereotypes– oh, he just doesn't like women because of his relationship with his mother, oh he's just nervous around the opposite sex, oh he just hasn't spent enough time with women/spent too much time with women, oh he was sexually abused... etc etc.
