Re: OP response
(Anonymous) 2019-10-20 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)I think you’re conflating a bunch of different reasons why people don’t like the idea of him fucking Diana, from in-story reasons like his villainy making it unlikely, to fandom preferences (people think he’s ugly and find the idea a turn off, they ship Diana with someone else, they dislike hero/villain ships in general, etc.) Not everybody’s gonna like or dislike a pairing for the same reasons, and that’s fine.
I ship fucked up stuff all the time, but man I get sick of people complaining about the purity police, because so much of it boils down to “why don’t more people appreciate my kinks?” It’s not like there was a Diana dubcon archive that got shut down by antis, people just aren’t into this guy for whatever (totally valid, even if they’re just not into villains in general) reasons.

(Anonymous) 2019-10-20 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)yeah this is where all the whining about 'purity police' really makes me roll me eyes. people still like fucked-up things, but not everyone who likes fucked-up things gravitates towards the same ones, and there are plenty of other fucked-up dynamics that fandom doesn't pick up either.
it's not people specifically targeting this ship for being BAD, it's just that no one wants to play in the sandbox, and they don't have to want to.
Re: OP response
(Anonymous) 2019-10-20 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)It reminds me of fandoms I've been in where people have defended unpopular characters by claiming that their haters are just racist/sexist/homophobic, while the people who hated those characters were sitting there with lists of Bad Things These Characters Have Done with full APA style citations.
Like sure, it's likely there are people out there who dislike the thing you like for the reason you say, but it's *not* likely to be all of them. Just... accept that you like something that not everyone likes, and move on!
