There have been people in this very comm who've said that they view (or previously viewed) female characters as threats, silly though it may be.

It's nowhere near every woman or every slash fan, by any means, but that sort of person does demonstrably exist.

That is bonkers to me. My homophobic dad would always go, "Hahah, he's probably gay." to any celeb I expressed interest in. I finally was just like, "SO the fuck what? I will never meet Tom Hardy."

I see people get this way when celebs get married. Were you really hoping to shoot your shot with Jensen Ackles?
queenslayerbee: Isabelle Adjany as Lucy Harker in 1979's "Nosferatu the Vampire". She's surrounded by darkness, looking over her shoulder while she wears a white nightgown and a cross as a necklace. A hand with long nails like a claw is reaching for her neck from the darkness behind her. (Default)

They exist, definitely, is why I wouldn't jump to call this secret trolling the way others have in this thread (could it be? Yes. It's not a worldview that anyone pulled out of their ass though. I've seen iiiiit). I find it very depressing ngl.

I've mentioned it too many times already in the past on this comm, but I had witnessed the full ridiculousness of this mindset back when I had started making fanworks for Uhura/T'Pring with both Star Trek AOS and TOS.
Uhura/T'Pring is pretty much a crackship entirely based on Uhura going "oh she [T'Pring] is beautiful" that a segment of the fandom on Tumblr pretty much ran with, making a bunch of fanworks and having the time of our lives.

Then some Spock/Kirk fans threw a tantrum about it - ranging between the fact that we took a character that was an 'evil bitch' and had the audacity to to her in any kind of Alternate Universe that did not affect their precious ship at all, to some trying to theorize that deep down we really wanted to ship Spock/Kirk but just a female version. It was overall really dumb and blew over within a year, but left a bitter taste in my mouth around the whole thing.

That's so bizarre! I've seen plenty of conflicts between ships (as I'm sure we all have), but in those cases, the ships always share a character. Why in the world would someone get mad about a ship that doesn't share any characters with their own?

(Not saying it makes sense to get mad about shipping in general. But at least when a ship is a clear "rival," it makes a certain sort of sense)
