There is a weird sort of desperation in a lot of fandoms, for any character they either perceive as "soft" or consider their "comfort character" to be completely and helplessly at the mercy of their wildly uncontrolled emotions and random panic attacks. And for them to be incapable of existing in the world without constant reassurance from, and reliance on, the functional parentification of whoever the fans ship that character with.

A lot of people in fandom have a really codependent idea of what love should be. The participants are not equals, and are not whole in and of themselves. One (or more) is helpless, reliant on the care of the other; and one experiences validation through the helplessness of the other, through the fact that they're "needed."

It's just occurred to me that this is part of why I tend not to like hurt/comfort fics.

This is epidemic in my fandom and I HATE IT. Sucks all the sexiness right out of the ship.
