Fandoms tend to ship two white, het dudes together no matter how much more boring or illogical it is compared to every other possible combination.

True, but so what? Let us have our kink.

This is true, but it's also true that canons tend to pair two het male/female characters together no matter how much more boring or illogical it is compared to every other possible combination.

Also, I presume you don't watch the show, but fyi, I think most people who've watched the show would see Dirk as far more likely to be canonically gay than canonically straight.

far more likely to be canonically gay

Based on what? I haven't seen all of season 2 and I watched out of order, but please tell me it's not because he turned down the non-verbal rainbow monster.

Relevance in this instance? It's far from a stretch. The sexual preference of one character (Dirk) is entirely unknown. Todd canonically is into women but whether he's also into men is likewise unknown. As they are the two leads and canonical close friends, they're hardly illogical in ship terms and the boring bit is surely just a matter of opinion.

Diverse ships are to be encouraged and celebrated, but dissing all white guys ships as boring and illogical is trite tokenism.

[bio_obscura]

Relevance is that this is a show full of vibrant, interesting characters and ships. To only ship the two most boring characters together, who JUST HAPPEN to be straight-presenting white dudes, is tiresome. It's like desperately looking for a way to make a bizarre show less interesting.

You don't watch the show do you?

[bio_obscura]

Yes, I love this show and Dirk x Todd is the absolute least interesting thing about it. Todd x Farrah, Dirk or Todd x Bart, hell even Todd and his sister or Dirk x Rainbow Girl are more interesting.

it's okay to admit you haven't watched a single ep of the show, m8.
