I love m/m shipping in fandom but then when we get a tv show or movie that has a canon gay couple in it, they're often too weird looking or ugly for me to care about them. I'm so sorry ;___;

Star Trek and Star Wars fans share one key aspect, both franchise’s modern fanbase seem to actively hate the original material that the franchises were born from.

This has nothing to do with who he's dating.

He's a 20-something privileged white guy who's (quite bafflingly) gotten an extraordinary number of accolades for some solidly mid acting. For years, people have been acting like he's some kind of rising star when he's merely Shia LaBeouf 2.0.

We might be witnessing his fall from the weird pedestal he never earned.

There's a reason why the saying "God, give me the confidence of a mediocre white man" exists.

I can't stand seeing beards onscreen, in a show, movie, or game. If I'm reading a book and someone has one I just imagine they don't, unless the character is an old man or a slob. I can't get past imagining how awful they must smell.

My one "guilty pleasure" trashy reality TV show that I watch is Survivor.

The 50th season is starting in February. I generally disengage from the fandom, particularly with returning-player seasons, because there are spoilers and they always leak out. Even if someone doesn't directly say "So-and-so wins," you will get A LOT of comments from people who are spoiled saying that they have a "good feeling" about so-and-so, and when you see enough of those comments (from people who think they are clever), you kind of figure out by osmosis who is going to win/be in the final 3.

Anyway, I didn't realize a trailer for the new season had dropped until just now. So I watched it and it looked great at first and then all the sudden there are a couple of celebrity name drops. And then MR. GODDAMN BEAST APPEARS. MR FUCKING BEAST. IS IN FUCKING SURVIVOR 50. I'M SO FUCKING MAD. OF ALL THE FUCKING CELEBRITIES YOU HAD TO PICK THIS FUCKING CREEPY MOTHERFUCKER??? MY EXCITEMENT LEVEL IMMEDIATELY DROPPED FROM A 9 TO A 1. THEY ARE DIALING UP THE BULLSHIT FOR THIS SEASON EVEN MORE AND IT'S GOING TO COMPLETELY RUIN IT.

At this point, I have so many games in my Steam library that I haven't played, that I don't even bother buying new ones, no matter how cheap they are. I don't have that much free time, and I just stick with the same games over and over, so why even bother throwing money away, even if it's only a few dollars?

Idk why, but in this styling, Jennifer Lawrence reminds me of a mix of Sabrina Carpenter
and Taylor Swift lol

I’m not going to say this shouldn’t be a secret, but I think it’s actually a very good perspective you have.

I also have lots of unplayed games in my Steam library and one of my resolutions for the year is not to buy any new ones, no matter how cheap, until I’ve at least tried most of what I already have.

So... I'm gonna guess it's not entirely you.

Actors with A-list looks - even if they're gay IRL - tend to be closeted and not go for gay roles for fear of future typecasting. Gay ships being the main feature also tends to not happen in big budget shows or movies so there's even less $$ draw. The pool of talent to pick from is orders of magnitude smaller than even like a C-list Hallmark movie. It's not a big surprise when the people they find often fail to be Hollywood hot and/or are worse at acting compellingly romantic or sexy overall.

I mean think about it, it's not like those A-list actors with A-list looks are incapable of acting out a gay ship. They just don't because the money, opportunity, and audience / career favorability isn't there. Exceptions exist ofc, like Brokeback Mountain being an obvious one starring two guys widely considered conventionally hot - but they stand out as exceptions. Gay stuff is just not mainstream yet, so you're not gonna get the mainstream level hotness.

Besides, I look at het ships in shows with C-tier actors and go 'yeah, nah, these actors aren't that attractive' all the time, and I bet you do too

I’ve only seen this guy in one thing and he did a phenomenal job. It may have been a one-off, idk. But it’s amusing to me that you compare him to Shia LeBouf because I’ve seen him in several things and he was a much better actor than he got credit for.

Does your hair smell really bad? Or do you like, wash it, maybe brush it, get it trimmed?

I’ve had the opposite experience. Fans of the original material actively hate the new material and the new fans.
