Oh, I have a whole rant in a can about how shipwars and headcanon wars are not political activism.

1. It's trivial infighting. Gee, you've just spent an afternoon flaming someone with a few hundred followers? Congratulations.

2. The tools we use for media critique were never meant to be applied to fan interpretation or fan works. Central to feminist and queer media theory is how mass-market media serves to reinforce power structures. It's not necessarily applicable to individual fantasies, interpretations, or fanwork.

3. That works can be interpreted and reinterpreted in different ways is a big feature of how LGBTQ people engage in mass media, and has been since the fucking Wizard of Oz.

4. While people are pissing about ambiguities in interpretation by billion-dollar directors and showrunners, LGBTQ publishers are turning to crowdfunding to get explicitly LGBTQ works in print.

5. Organized mass-response campaigns need to be justified by more than just "my ship isn't canon" or "my ship isn't clearly canon." There's a clear difference in importance between Rowling being ambiguous or Zuke not liking your ship, and Orson Scott Card's participation in one of the most active anti-LGBTQ hate groups in the United States or John C. Wright calling the creative staff of Korra "termites" in need of extermination.

So people ship it differently or headcanon it differently? Grow the fuck up and get over it.
