I just don't get why everyone wants their slashy ships to be canon so much. I don't want any ships to be canon. Fuck canon ships.

I'm queer, by the way.

[(Anonymous)]

For some people, seeing their identities represented in media is important. It is also a step in normalization and reduction of stigma. It's OK that it's not important to you as a queer person, but I can definitely see why people want it.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I'm sure OP is a gay man. It's always the gay men banging on about representation.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know about OP, but there definitely are people who do care about representation of people like them. It's not all shippers if that's what you're implying here.

[(Anonymous)]

the fuck

[(Anonymous)]

You mean you haven't heard all those gay man saying, "goddamn it, I'm jealous of those lesbians getting represented all the time, wahhhhhhh"?

[(Anonymous)]

I imagine it's not much different than black people whining about white privilege. Everyone wants equal chances and representation.

[(Anonymous)]

No, everyone really doesn't. In case it wasn't clear, I was being facetious. I've never heard a gay man whine about representation in fandom. When I do, I'll buy the representation argument. Until then, I'm chalking it up to butthurt slashers.

[diet_poison]

because wanting representation for your specific group is soooooo terrible right?

[(Anonymous)]

Psst. That was sarcasm.

[diet_poison]

agh. apologies! I'm pretty bad at picking up on that sometimes.

[(Anonymous)]

This describes me exactly. I almost never ship canon ships, especially on TV. (Exceptions are Willow/Tara, Wash/Zoe, Mal/Inara...and that may be it. [Yes, they're all from Whedon shows. No, I did not realize that until five seconds after I'd typed them out.])

But even if I don't ship a canon queer pairing myself, I still want it to exist. I'll just spend my free time writing fic in which they break up and half of the couple starts dating his or her same-sex best friend. ;-)

[(Anonymous)]

Same here (and also queer). I hate it when ships become canon because they usually aren't the ships that I ship. I'd much rather nothing be confirmed in canon so that I can ship whatever the heck I want and have it be just as valid as any other potential ship.

[(Anonymous)]

i am admittedly being a dick here but i'm a canon-shipper, and usually my ships that weren't previously canon do end up becoming canon... because i'm good at reading how the writer(s) are writing them and looking at character relationships metatextually... so i get a little bit of schadenfreude when other peoples ships are sunk or never happen.

(i mean... i ship stuff that would never be canon in a million years also but i don't get Delusional about it like some folks do)

[(Anonymous)]

I just find the way that the vast majority of canon ships are written to be boring. A lot of them feel like the writers went "Okay, we've got the main guy and the main girl, so now we have to have them get together" rather than actually focusing on organically building chemistry between the characters. There's nothing in the way the characters are written that makes me believe they could work as a pairing, they're just together because the writers said so.

[(Anonymous)]

SA

oh yeah, i feel this. but thats just bad writing. i generally just don't stay invested in anything that's badly written in general. i work off of what writers give me, and if they give me shit, i'm going to hand it back and go somewhere else where they don't serve shit lolol
