I'm mostly talking in the context of yesterday's WW secret. Particularly how the person/people yesterday who was salty about not enough WW secrets are going to feel about a WW secret that's also about M/M shipping.

I personally don't care either way, obviously.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, OP feels too bad about not femslashing it to generate wank of yesterday's caliber.

[(Anonymous)]

For the sake of my own sanity, I'd like to point out that nothing in this secret or discussion is opposing femslash and slash. Or even really talking about femslash specifically. Even the discussion yesterday wasn't about femslash really. It's just not really what we're talking about here.

[(Anonymous)]

Do tell what kind of person OP is referencing being versus the kind they'd like to be and then tell me how my comment isn't relevant.

[(Anonymous)]

I think there are a bunch of different ways that one could approach fandom for something like Wonder Woman. I don't think that OP is necessarily saying that they should be shipping femslash instead. As I read the secret, they're just saying that out of all the possible responses, they still ended up shipping two dudes, even in a movie with a lot more going on and with a female main character. Nothing about that has to be specific to femslash at all. Could be gen just as easily, for instance.

And more generally, the problem I have with approaching it the way you are is that it treats f/f and m/m as competitors in a zero-sum game and pits them together in a fight. And that doesn't help anyone in the entire world and it's going to drive me completely fucking crazy if we start getting into that kind of attitude.

[(Anonymous)]

Start?! LOL where have you been? Fandom's been trudging down that road for a long damn time.

[(Anonymous)]

Start down that road in this thread, I mean.

I get the sense that you're bitter about something or other, and I'm sorry about whatever it is. But regardless of what anyone else in fandom may do, I don't think it's an attitude that's either correct or productive.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Now that you mention it, anon, I did take note of one potential f/f ship. Antiope/Amazon Running to Her Side in That Scene Who Wasn't Diana or Hippolyta. But she wasn't named as far as I could tell, so that limits things a little. Maybe supplementary material will help me out.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

I had that exact same thought!

(Free to invent, we are.)

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

They could have been Achilles and Patroclus to each other through the millennia, we just don't know!

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

That is Menalippe the youngest of Queen Hippolyta's sisters and, so, is also Antiope's sister. Though I will admit that I too was hoping for it to be her wife.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

Darn. I'm more disappointed than I thought I would be...

[(Anonymous)]

They were shilling for the movie, hon. Their interest wasn't genuine.

[(Anonymous)]

Would you mind expanding on what you mean by "shilling"
