"I like a ship because they're cute together and important to meeee" is not representation.

Representation is simply "this person is canon LGBT". There's no provision that you personally need to enjoy a character or relationship.

this

expecting only to have characters represent you that you like is unrealistic and also idk, entitled? (what if others don't find themselves represented in the pairing you like? should we scratch representation all together for the sake of shipping?)

Yeaaahhh I basically never like any of the gay or bisexual couples on TV or in film. I don't get mad about it though, because someone out there probably does like that couple, and it's another example of canon queer characters out there repping the fact that, hey! This sexuality exists and isn't shameful or wrong!

The one thing I'd ask for is for my well-meaning fangirl friends to stop insisting I watch things just because there's representation. I never want to watch yuri on ice or whatever. I just don't. Sorry 'bout it.

You should watch YOI because it's a good show regardless

or we can all decide what we feel is worth consuming media-wise, kindly fuck off

I don't want to watch YOI either. My whole dash is full of it, but I simply blacklist and say nothing.
You do you. A friend of mine admitted that she doesn't want to watch it but she thinks blond Yuri is cute and got a lot of angry anons screaming about representations.
