Your taste is your taste and it is no less valid than anybody else's. I feel like because of antis being A Things, some people have kind of overcompensated in their push back against that and have ended up being kind of judgmental and rude about people who honestly just enjoy wholesome/"healthy" ships. There can sort of be this attitude that's like, "If you don't enjoy X, Y, or Z, then you must be fundamentally conservative in some way, and also boring," which is dumb.

I am not enjoying my wholesome/"healthy" content at anyone. It's just what I like. And like just about everything we do here in fandom, it's as complex and interesting as you want it to be. It's all in the eye of the beholder.

Antis complain when ships are “too wholesome” in your fandoms? I believe you, that’s just different from my fandoms. In my fandoms, villain/hero ships are considered ~problematic~, and they usually get mad when people ship them and anything else that isn’t two good people and isn’t 100% healthy.

DA

No, I think what they're saying is that since antis tried to turn "not shipping anything problematic" into this holier-than-thou moral statement, people who just like gentle, sunshine ships for their own reasons can be self-conscious that other fans will think they like it in a judgey way. And some of the pushback against antis winds up being unintentionally scornful of vanilla shipping. Out of frustration at being demonized, mostly. Anyone who ships hero/villain openly is doing that despite the social shit they get for it. Despite being told that it would be so much BETTER if their favorite thing didn't exist, and lightfic were all that was available. And that makes it hard to maintain the view that what we don't go for (and aren't going to) is not inherently bad, we're just sick of the pushiness. Because you've got jerks trying to argue that enjoying moral complexity and empathizing with dark characters is a sign of mental illness - sometimes in so many words.

Oh, okay. My bad!

I have similar experience.
I am not interested in (reading about) toxic relationships most of the time. I am not into it. It doesn't make me puritan/anti/boring vanilla person. Just I have my preferences and I don't care for people judging me for this
