please google survivorship bias

literally lots of people simply ship what they want in their own corners of fandom, but if you personally aren't one of the people dogpiling them for the sin ""straightwashing"" then OBVIOUSLY the only ones YOU hear about are going to be the obnoxious proactively defensive ones

[(Anonymous)]

Don't worry, lots of people are still very, very happy to dogpile others for the sin of making/seeing their faves gay, as well.

[(Anonymous)]

Ah, the "You disagree with me, therefore you are -ist/-phobic." Which logical fallacy number was that, again?

[(Anonymous)]

Were they really calling anon anything-ist/phobic, or just pointing out that people still get attacked for writing straight characters as being in gay relationships just as much as people get attacked for writing gay characters as being in het relationships?

oh no the hetrophobia of the situation :(

I’m not saying one is the same as the other, no matter if both groups are ostensibly being attacked in similar ways. It’s obviously way shittier for people to be homophobic towards people writing characters in gay relationships. So I’m not meaning to imply that “heterophobia” is happening, or that people getting harassed for writing gay characters in straight relationships is in any way comparable to the real world effects of homophobia.

But also, this comment has nothing to do with how this thread has been going. The anon I was replying to thought the anon before them was calling them homophobic(or -ist/phobic in general) for saying that plenty of people still get homophobia for writing characters in non-canon gay relationships. I responded that I didn’t think they were calling them homophobic, just saying that characters writing gay characters in straight relationships by no means have the monopoly on being harassed. So again, in no way was I implying “heterophobia”, or that people writing gay characters in straight relationships have it worse, or even just as bad. I was basically saying the opposite to someone who thought they were being called homophobic when I don’t think they were. So I think your “oh no the hetrophobia of the situation :(“ would work better as a response to the anon above me.
