I know for fact I'm not the only one who gets upset at the thought of him in an unhappy situation, and while it's not because of gender or anything superficial like that, it's just my opinion that N/White wouldn't work out well and he could end up disappointed/hurt, what have you.

This fandom really is a beast. o/


You've already been called out on this, but you're really not helping the general tone of fandom by saying that the idea of Touko/N makes you physically ill, but Touya/N is just dandy, because there's enough goddamn misogyny in yaoi fandom as it is.

When I first saw this secret, I thought "well, maybe I'll give this one the benefit of the doubt: maybe the manga made Touko some kind of bratty jerk or something that would explain the reaction." So, I went and read the Pokemon special manga and holy Jesus fuck is your reaction to Touko in the manga overblown. Is she a bratty jerk? Nope! Perfectly nice, normal seeming girl.

Sorry, but despite your explanations I still see your reaction as essentially rooted in misogyny. IMO, it's really fucking pathetic that you're so wrapped up in this that you're hating on a character who seems like a nice girl because she might theoretically hurt N if they were shipped together. You did notice that in the manga, Touya is actually hurting N right now because he's the one actually doing the things that piss N off the most?
And you do realize that unless it's canon, shipping is entirely how you want to write it? I could write N hurting Touko just as easily as Touko hurting N.

I really think you need to step back and take a long hard look at your motivations, OP, because your explanation doesn't ring true and I am just so goddamned sick and tired of seeing people hate on female characters because they might interfere with a yaoi pairing.
