Transcript by OP

[fscom]

I love heterosexual life partner characters and wish it were more of a common trope. But I dislike it when people make gay jokes about it. Gay romance is good, deep friendship bonds are good, there's no need to make dumb jokes about the former just because the latter feels too corny.

I feel you. I don't mind fans shipping these characters, as a friends-to-lovers enjoyer I get it even when the friends in question aren't ones I think of as ripe for romance. But like... the gay *jokes* grate on me.

yes!
Like shipping is one thing. But gay jokes are just... bad
Also I can ship and not want people being couple in a show alright

[(Anonymous)]

I agree. I wish that there was more stuff with non-romantic friendship. I feel like everything gets turned into shipping and it gets tiresome to me sometimes. I can't get enough of a good solid friendship.

[(Anonymous)]

I'd love to see heterosexual life partners between male and female friends. I think if that happened enough... well, obviously, the shipping would continue but at least friendships that don't turn into romance would be normalized, regardless of genders.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. It bothers me way less when people ship pairs of male friends or pairs of female friends together simply because there are so many fewer m/m and f/f ships in media. But m/f ships? They're everywhere, and there's a really annoying assumption that if a male character and a female character are friends, that MUST mean they're eventually going to end up together. I want to see more pairs of male/female friends that just stay friends and never become a couple.

There's a male/female friendship in one of my canons where the characters have explicitly stated that they AREN'T interested in each other that way and yet fandom ships them anyway and it drives me insane.

[(Anonymous)]

+1, I was a noromo back in early X-Files days and never changed my stance. Some pairings are better as friendships, and this especially goes for m/f pairs. Not least because I'm usually drawn into media by the female characters and so often the writing for female characters gets dramatically worse the second they're paired up with a male character, and everything becomes about him. See Fringe for a prime example. Bones, too.

[philstar22]

I agree with this. And I do tend to love seeing friendships that aren't romantic on screen. Then again half the time I'll end up shipping them anyway, regardless of gender, because friends to lovers is one of my top ship tropes.

[(Anonymous)]

This is me 🤣

[cactus_rs]

same, OP. same.

[(Anonymous)]

Same, OP. I love heterosexual life partners, whether it's m/f, m/m, f/f, give me everything you've got. I just love loyal friends and found family, preferably having adventures or solving mysteries.
