I really want to try and come up with fandoms that don't... anyone?

[(Anonymous)]

The only fandom of mine that doesn't is OZ (which is one!).

That's all I got. Anyone? (Check me trying to start discussion rather than wank...:p.)

Re: I really want to try and come up with fandoms that don't... anyone?

[(Anonymous)]

I can think of: Band of Brothers, Reservoir Dogs, Boondock Saints, ummmmm....

Re: I really want to try and come up with fandoms that don't... anyone?

[bloodrivendream.livejournal.com]

Queer as Folk and The L Word never had an enduring het ship.

A large chunk bandom does not either. But then again, it is bandom. But in some cases the non-bandom girlfriends get incorporated into the fandom.

The History Boys. (Well, there was Dakin/Fiona but it was kind of like a side note.)

Re: I really want to try and come up with fandoms that don't... anyone?

[(Anonymous)]

I could think of good few.

But they're also 99% devoid of female characters period.

I wonder why that is.

Re: I really want to try and come up with fandoms that don't... anyone?

[oflittlebrain.livejournal.com]

ITT: shows with no female characters and shows about gay people.

Re: I really want to try and come up with fandoms that don't... anyone?

[bloodrivendream.livejournal.com]

True, basically the only fandoms that do not are ones that are about gay people or have casts that are all one gender (usually all male casts).

Re: I really want to try and come up with fandoms that don't... anyone?

[ariseishirou.livejournal.com]

Uh, not even close, actually. See list below.

Re: I really want to try and come up with fandoms that don't... anyone?

[bloodrivendream.livejournal.com]

Then I suppose it only applies to what I and the people who commented before me could think of.
Glad to see things breaking the trend.

[ariseishirou.livejournal.com]

Resident Evil (a series that is 50/50 male/female character split, no less!)
Army of Two (technically - and if it did it wouldn't be straight >_>)
Silent Hill
FF7 (as much as never canonizing the romance caused drama like you wouldn't believe)
FF6 (sure Celes/Locke was heavily implied but you don't even have to get Locke back in the end)
Chrono Trigger (again, Chrono/Marle is implied, but it doesn't go anywhere in the game)
Left4Dead
Call of Duty (which may not count because there's one female character - but hey maybe it still counts because she never gets romantically involved with anyone)
90% of SMT games (either there's no canon romance and you can pick your own from a host of characters including those of the same gender, or there's none at all, as in Nocturne and Strange Journey)

So... virtually all of my fandoms >_> (I wonder what that says about me.)

[crimsontriforce.livejournal.com]

But but but Vincent/Lucrecia was canon last time I checked? I don't follow the compilation (or the fandom)... good catch on FF6 and CT, though. And that list says lots and lots of good things, to me at least. :3

Oh and Team Fortress, right, now that you mention L4D.

[ariseishirou.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but Silent Hill also has Harry/his wife, ostensibly, but as she's already dead before the game starts I don't think that counts >_>

Games tend to be less about the romance in general (not all games, mind - see FF8), I think, and my fandoms are mostly games.

I suppose if we're talking old anime fandoms there's X/1999 and Yami no Matsuei, where the driving canon romances are gay ones.

[crimsontriforce.livejournal.com]

I didn't know about SH!
Mine, too, are games, and since I grow tired of fictional romance pretty quick I'm happy that, as you say, there's not as much focus on that as basically everywhere else. But things like Valkyrie Profile, imho, would manage better without some of the unexpected romance, ditto Baten Kaitos and Phoenix Wright (kinda). And heck, Mario. Imho.
JRPGs in particular can't seem to be able to build a party without a main couple shoehorned in somehow (LoD I'm looking straight at you): some FFs, Chrono and SMT are valuable exceptions. Come to think of it, so is Suikoden...?

[ariseishirou.livejournal.com]

Ugh, yeah, aside from some FFs, CT, and the megaten games, JRPGs are atrocious for shoehorned romances. I've always meant to play Suikoden but I want to play the series in order and I can never find the first one anywhere.

I sort of forgive LoD for having the best physical fighter the chick who you would expect to be the black mage (Rose does by far the most phsyical attack damage with her best weapon) and the best magic user the boy who you would expect to be the sword-wielding hero (he does have the sword, but is better with his flame attacks). Doesn't excuse the awful romance with the useless little sister character though, damnit Japan.

I also forgot to add DMC2/3 - I remember how much angst and handwringing there was over which of the hot brothers the hot chick being introduced in 3 would end up with and... SPOILER: NEITHER OF THEM.

[(Anonymous)]

TF2 has RED Spy/Scout's Mom.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah right. RE has implied het couples galore. Ada/Leon, Jill/Carlos, Claire/Steve, etc.

[ariseishirou.livejournal.com]

Oh riiiight. The implied couples. I forgot that two people who respect each other, try to help each other, and watch each other's backs on the battlefield are totally doing it.

I mean, Soap carries that gun for five years, man. And Price catches him so he doesn't fall out of the helicopter and picks him up when he falls and leaps into danger when he's about to get shot... from this Infinity Ward means us to understand that Captain Price and Captain MacTavish are having hot fierce buttsex off-camera, just like Steve and Claire would have if one of them wasn't dead.

[choffman.livejournal.com]

just like Steve and Claire would have if one of them wasn't dead.


...Who is pitching and who is catching in this scenario?

[ariseishirou.livejournal.com]

I assume based on pairing order that anon assume Claire is pegging Steve.

[choffman.livejournal.com]

In Chrono Trigger DS Chrono and Marle get hitched in the ending.

BAHAHAHAHAH RAPING YOUR CHILDHOOD.

[ariseishirou.livejournal.com]

COLLECTION: They get hitched in one of the endings. You don't even have to save Chrono. You can beat Lavos without ever switching him. No marriage at all!

(Actually I totally shipped Chrono and Marle, but that's all it was: shipping.)

[choffman.livejournal.com]

I dunno man, I'd say that still makes it canon if you can freaking have them get married.

[ariseishirou.livejournal.com]

But you can also have one of them be dead. Does that make necrophilia canon?

Re: I really want to try and come up with fandoms that don't... anyone?

[crimsontriforce.livejournal.com]

I have lots of cracky game fandoms, eg Katamari Damacy, Patapon and LocoRoco. Their basic, funny or downright absurd plot premises include no romance at all.

Even among works with more relevant plots and relatively human characters, I can list Portal, Panzer Dragoon, ICO, possibly Jet Set Radio, possibly Skies of Arcadia, Hotel Dusk, Earthsea as long as it stays a trilogy (which is a jolly good idea anyway, if you ask me), possibly kinda legend of zelda, Haibane Renmei, definitely Oddworld, Kino no Tabi, Mononoke, Mushishi, Samurai Jack, Breath of Fire DQ (at least on its first play? I haven't seen the other half of the plot), Vagrant Story and Uru if you don't lump it with Myst. And surely something within Discworld? What about Old Who? Okami, too. I'm sure I could go on if it weren't 2AM right now.

Come to the gaming side of fandom, OP. We have Wiimote-shaped cookies.

Re: I really want to try and come up with fandoms that don't... anyone?

[ariseishirou.livejournal.com]

Samurai Jack ftmfw. Also, Hotel Dusk. OP really needs to pick up the controller, doesn't s/he?

Re: I really want to try and come up with fandoms that don't... anyone?

[(Anonymous)]

As far as I can remember Earthbound, Star Trek TOS (not reboot obviously,) SSBB and the parts of Pokémon I'm active in (Mystery Dungeon, gameverse, and the anime) are more than less devoid of canon het pairings.
