So, OK. I ship based on who I think has chemistry and which couples are most canon. That currently does include slightly less interracial and nonwhite couples than it does couples who are two white guys, but that's largely due to how media demographics play out in what I'm currently into shipping. Like, sometimes it's impossible because there are no eligible POC characters to ship (e.g. Resident Evil 6- the only nonwhite MC is asian, female, and already in one of the most popular ships). Sometimes there's only one ship combo that makes sense and it just so happens to be an interracial couple (e.g. Army of Two, and fuck anyone who says Tyson Rios isn't black/hispanic).

It just feels kind of disingenuous to find the one POC guy in a show and pair him off with someone else because he is a POC. In fact, now that I type it out like that I'm pretty sure I'd have people on my case about fetishizing if I tried to do something like that.

So idk. It just seems kind of like there should be more shouting about representation and less about white cocks, you know?
