Considering the prophylactic phrase for a moment: absent g*d (again, that’s over), without mass culture, what do you think fandummers would be doing if they didn’t have drama over slashfics to preoccupy them? Where would all that libidinal energy go if the stream of slop from marvel or netflix were cut off? If all this masscult weren’t dulling the swinery throughout fandom into accepting their miserable, alienated lives in exchange for another marvel movie or another pokemon game as late capitalism necrotizes around them, who do you think is waiting with a ready-made answer for why they can’t enjoy their precious shows, games or movies?

Yes, "entertainment is the opiate of the masses" and fandom is just horny women looking for a fix. Never mind that shipping originated as a critique of patriarchy and heterosexism in mass media, and fans were the only people who considered that media worthy of the same kinds of critique as the official canon of Nietzsche's peers. Then there's the substantial overlap between people who do Marvel and Pokemon and the people who support radical feminist (not terf) and queer work.
