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.

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. ;-)
