Re. the pic: Those are some seriously awesome goggles.

I think it's because back in the day, m/m being canon actually was much less common and that made our expectations much, much lower. People take it more seriously now that the real likelihood of canon m/m exists. And that's a good thing, so I can take the sometimes-annoying increase in slash goggles-wearing fans thinking it could be canon that it's caused.

Agreed.

I was in the Harry Potter fandom. I don't think most people expected Harry/Draco to be canon, though a sizable number of people thought Wolfstar could be. Even then, most believed it probably wouldn't happen. Now ships like those are far more likely. If JKR wasn't a dumpster fire of a person, anyway.

Honestly I think HP fandom needs to put their goggles back on and realize they are just goggles, because I've seen multiple people add 'queerbaiting' to JKR's list of sins and just...no? Fandom's tendency to decide if you're a terrible person in one way you must be awful in all ways is annoying as is (like it can't just be that JKR is transphobic, she must also be racist, sexist, etc., as if the transphobia alone isn't bad enough) and there are plenty of criticisms to lob at HP's writing, but queerbaiting was never one of them. Remus and Sirius were never going to be a thing and she didn't write the books with the intention of convincing anyone that they would be a thing. Fandom did that all on its own. JKR was not obligated to keep the possibility of canon ship alive just because the fangirls latched onto it hardest.

Riiiiiiiight. Whatever you want to believe.

You're an idiot.

Yeah, Idek where Wolfstar as almost canon even came from.
As someone who read the books without being in the fandom for most of them, because we did not have internet in the house back then, I always thought that Sirius was a bit in love with JAMES but was silent about it cause James loved Lily.

AYRT - I actually agree with you on that. It's irritating.

Yeah, the last time I was really getting shippy vibes from a pair of male characters in a canon, the ship actually DID happen and I was pleasantly surprised.
