Seriously, not a single person who claims "but muh representation!!" actually give a shit about representation, literally all they want is their cute boys OTP to be canon. I'm seeing the hypocrisy in action right now in the Stranger Things fandom. ***SPOILERS FOR SEASON 3***** They introduce a new character who is later revealed to be gay, and the shippers of Will/Mike are outraged it was her and not Will who's gay******SPOILERS*****

Never mind how the Voltron fandom showed its ass once Shiro was revealed gay. Literally the whole Voltron tag on tumblr was just "....this means Lance is bi!! omg Klance parallels!! lol who is Shiro again?"

This is a completely insane thing to say

It's not wrong.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what's being said then, but I think there are people in the world who do genuinely and sincerely care about representation.

Of course there are, but I'm talking about fandom culture on tumblr. Most tumblrinas who ship two men and claim "creators should make my OTP canon because LGBT representation matters!!" almost unequivocally do not give an actual shit about representation and really only just want their OTP canon. They prove this time and time again when creators choose to make characters who aren't in their OTP gay and the shippers flip out in rage and disappointment.

Tumblrinas? In 2019? really, man?

What's your issue?

Or as with the comments on #3, you have people of one sexual orientation claiming exclusive ownership over headcanons.
