If this is what I think it is, A+ picture choice.

What do you think it is?

Captain America: Civil War

That would make sense. Although it would make the glorifying even more uncool.

Why would it make it even worse? Last I checked that fandom is by no means full of saints.

Because (if we're talking about the same thing) that ship is already being queer baited by the people behind the film so being happy it doesn't happen just seems gratuitous.

Is it actual queerbaiting, or is it the fandom "whatever the hell I want it to mean right now" definition of queerbaiting? Because if we're thinking of the same thing the filmrunners have been talking about, I'd go with the former.

That's what it is. MCU has a shit-ton of issues, but queerbaiting isn't one of them.

Yeah pretty sure you are biased, because there's been no queer baiting about this that I felt was "legit" from the film-makers. I support other totally never going to be canon slash ships in it too, but saying its queerbaiting is misusing the word and as an actual gay man, I'm pretty tired of seeing fandom scream it every time their ship doesn't happen. :/

There's no queerbaiting for that ship.

Nah, movies don't "air".

Op: you got it despite my odd word choices, go you. Also it's a shipbase that is downright cruel, racist and vitriolic. To me it's more like schadenfreude that they get their parade rained on since they've done that to literally every other ship in the fandom. When you are literally editing characters out to put your fave otp in, posting hate on other character and ship tags and just downright being scum it's only fair that the universe turns the tables. Yeah let shippers do what they want- but these shippers haven't played by that rule so honestly they've got it coming. Karma's a bitch.

*high fives OP* Honestly, I'm just tired of blocking them in every single Marvel related tag I follow.

What ship? I can't think of any cruel shipbases in Marvel.

Well, I've encountered some very nasty Steggy shippers and Steve/Sam shippers, the ones that run around accusing other fans of being misogynist or racist for not shipping those pairings and generally act like it's some sort of crime that not everyone loves their imaginary darlings as much as they do. And doing things like comparing not shipping Steve/Sam to belonging to a real world hate group that terrorizes and murders real world people.

OH MY GOD, I'm a Steve/Sam shipper and I deliberately got into Steve/Bucky (even when I wasn't really into that pairing) because I have seen some REALLY toxic and manipulative Steve/Sam shippers and it's like... ffs, the pairing is already rare, and then 95% of the people are fucking assholes

You must live under a nice rock or agree with their behavior because pretty sure much of the slash fans for MCU have done and said some really regrettable stuff. And lots of buzzwords like sexist and racist have been thrown around, but in some cases it's probably legit. Like who goes on female character tags and bitches about the lady constantly except someone who probably has some major issues? LIke I've seen my ship fans do that and I've been so embarrassed on their behalf. Anyone into MCU that doesn't think their shippers have caused drama must have a tiny tiny ship fanbase or not get out in the fandom circles often.

da

A huge number of Stucky and Stony shippers have been really over the top awful and bitter about Sharon Carter. I'm talking about full-on misogynistic bashing.

Really? It's mostly Peggy stans that I've seen being horrible about Sharon.

Maybe you and I just hang out in different spaces, though.

Hell, the Stony shippers have been bashing Pepper Potts for YEARS before Sharon ever showed up in the movies. And it's only going to get worse now that Marvel has broken up Tony and Pepper. :(

*squints*

Do we have a klandom person here?

Hello, Iggy.

Lol, no.

Man, this is some Zarabithia-level bullshit.

+1

I try not to let what other fans are doing effect my feelings about my own fandom but, honestly, Stucky shippers have been so toxic that my MCU fandom has been slowly dying. I don't particularly care for Steve/Sharon but I'll admit that my feelings of schadenfreude are going to be satisfied too.
