DA
Because every heterosexual relationship is the same, and obviously easy to identify with?

I'm not saying you have to relate, or that you're a terrible person for liking what you like, but it's silly to generalise about the sexes involved somehow being the only thing barring your way to that. I may as well say I can't relate to people who aren't atheists, so I can't get into fic unless I'm self-inserting? More likely than not, especially in fandoms involving sci-fi/fantasy, characters are nothing like you anyways, and they're put into situations you'll never relate to.

"I can't relate to this," to me usually sounds more like, "Being gay or straight (or some other factor) sounds like it completely defines a person, they're so DIFFERENT, amirite?"

(I'm the anon who wondered why she couln't relate)

That's exactly what I was trying to understand. I didn't want to assume anything, but... yeah.
I guess I just don't understand why some people can't just relate to other as people instead of as, say, straight-christian-caucasian-female, or something as specific.

tbh, I really don't want to know the whys for what people ship. Just ship and let ship. But I hate when people go out of their way to justify what they like, because I'd rather not know their reasoning is all about otheringor some other thing that might bug me and tint my view of them. I get that enough irl, and it's already tiresome enough telling people I'm not some exotic person living the STRANGE GAY LIFESTYLE. That's not even touching the part where people also think other, odd, ridiculous things based on my race (or what they assume my race is).

Yes. I get why someone who isn't any of these things wouldn't know what it's like to be that, or grow up a certain way. But to tell me it's unrelatable, and impossible to view where do they even come from to say they can identify with an HR nightmare, hot-blooded space cop for being straight/queer, but not queer/straight. What about the part where they're a space cop.

ah now I'm just rambling :( I don't ship like most people apparently though. I don't self-insert, or have to relate to a character I like (otherwise irl I'd be surrounded by people exactly like me), and I'm never attracted to anyone in my ships. But I understand why a lot of fans like those aspects, as it's fun for them. That's just boring to me I guess :(
