nayrt I think some of it was people liking the antagonism, and often there's a tendency to like rival/enemy ships over friend ones, but some of the fans didn't even think of Shawn and Lassie as that antagonistic and kept being disappointed that the show didn't make them friendlier. (I only saw the first three seasons I think, so I don't know where they went with it in canon.)

So I do think race played a part in why Shawn/Gus wasn't popular. That doesn't mean I think people who shipped Shawn with Lassiter were racist, or that I think anyone sat there thinking "Well I could ship him with Gus but I'd rather ship him with a white guy," but I think if Gus had been white the fandom would have been different. I've liked my own ships with their own issues myself, so I'm definitely living in a glass house here, but those are my two cents.
