I would have agreed with you in the past, but idk, the ways that creators now interact with fandoms make me understand them a hell of a lot better. It's rough having writers/actors/directors/etc. getting on Twitter and talking to fans, figuring out what the ships are and riling them up about them and teasing at possibilities, only to shut the whole thing down in the production itself and shrug it off like "we weren't serious about it, geez." It's mean.

Not OP (obviously)

I would have to say this makes me feel the opposite. I know it get's said a lot, and I don't always agree with the sentiment, but the creators don't owe a fan much of anything. The growing connection between the fans and the show makers are more of a hinderance than help. I was reading just recently someone talking about how their NOTP (unplanned) became canon over their OTP (what was supposed to be canon) because of the influence some of the more aggressive fans had over the writers. There has always been queerbaiting, or 'will they or won't they' situations, people just seem to feel like they're owed more because they have a direct line of complaint to sell their worries to. No matter what becomes canon there are going to be fans of a different paring that are going to feel cheated, a comment an actor says about liking a relationship with a their and a different character is always going to be made into more than it is. A lot of the time planned parings or events can't happen, not to the fault of the writers, sometimes things get edited or don't pan out.
