I'll be honest, this only annoys me sometimes, and that sometimes is usually when I've either got an interracial OTP in the fandom or when the whiteboy ship is both fandom-eating and made up of my least favourite tropes. Or, I guess, when it seems particularly pointless, but I think that comes under 'least favourite tropes'. So for me it's honestly less about racism and more about people going for my least favourite tropes and against my favourite character combinations.

So for example Stony really annoyed me in the MCU, because I came from Iron Man and Tony/Rhodey was my ship, and also because Stony seemed to be riding on the comics, and also because Steve has enough people he can be shipped with so just go ship him with Bucky or something and leave Tony out of it. None of which are particularly laudible or high-minded reasons. I would say Clint/Phil annoyed me too, but to be honest I didn't care about Clint and mostly just didn't read it. And Rayleigh/Chuck annoyed me in Pacific Rim because for fuck's sake, was there no more pointless and stereotypical rival ship you could have gone for? At least Newt/Hermann, while still white dick, felt like it had some meat to it and ran on a slightly different set of tropes. (Also, if you're going to ship a Hansen, Herc/Stacker is an infinitely more interesting and painful option).

My problems in the M7 fandom were slightly different, in that people shipping Ezra with other people did seem to have a tendency to be actively racist towards Nathan, but I think a lot of it would boil down to my prefering Ezra/Nathan and wishing the whole fandom wasn't so bloody caught up in some combination of Ezra/Vin/Chris.

What I'm saying is, the tendency of fandom to go for certain types of ships probably annoys me mostly because they're almost never my favourite ships, rather than because it's often my interracial ships that get shafted. Though that too. But mostly it's because they pick the boring and/or annoying ones, if I'm honest.

I wish Rhodey got more attention. :(

I am just happy to find another Ezra/Nathan shipper. I love them so much. If there's any fic can you point me at it??
