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.

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

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.
