What about non-canon straight couples?
I think a lot of reaction to this secret is that the OP and his/her defenders keep talking about fans pairing non-canon gay (usually m/m) couples, and are ignoring the fact that people do this as much, if not more, with non-canon straight couples. Where are the people getting butthurt over that? Imagine this:
"Romantic relationships change peoples' chemistry, and I like Wilson and Cuddy as friends."
It's that people are acting as if slash fans are the only people who make up crazy pairings, when that's so, SO not true.
no subject
Yep, and then there's the entire misconception that any non-canon pairing must be crazy. I understand that there are non-canon pairings that do not compute when thought out, but some can work based on the characters' personality and circumstance. If a shipper can plausibly get A and B together in an in-character way, I see nothing "idiotic" about the pairing. Some people just wonder what would happen between characters in a given situation. Or they feel that A and B would make a great couple if their preferences swung a certain way and they had the opportunity to become more than friends.
no subject
Exactly.
But also it makes me wonder--why does it bother anybody when people ship a couple? House/Wilson as a romantic coupld *is* different than them as a friendship. So is Zutara or Harry/Hermione. But it's not like somebody shipping something themselves changes what's actually in canon, so why does it bother somebody that other people want to play around with adding sex to it? Sometimes slash and romantic stories focus more on the dynamics of the relationship using sex and it's interesting. I feel like I've gotten a lot of meta on the non-sexual canon Frodo/Sam by reading slash, for instance.
I mean, I can get if somebody is frustrated if people are talking about canon and people act like "they're doing it!" explains everything. That can get stupid, like where people will say "He looked at her! He must want to sleep with her! There's no other explanation!" when actually in canon he looked at her because he knows she committed murder or something. But that's different than just shipping outside of canon.
no subject
Sometimes it's just a TAKE BACK WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT THOR emotional response. This is why I dislike pairings that require my favorite characters to be blatantly OOC. I know that it's not going to wreck canon or whatnot, and it's definitely not worth starting wank over. I just find it annoying, especially because a lot of those OOC pairings are based on common misconceptions about men. (e.g. guys think with their crotches and, given an excuse, will hook up with anyone regardless of whether they're still mourning their dead wife, their personalities are fundamentally incompatible, etc.)
