(Anonymous) 2012-05-04 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)Didn't I just get through saying that not all K/S'ers are going around calling people homophobic for not shipping our ship? I'm a K/S'er, and I certainly don't go around calling people homophobic for not shipping K/S. I call you homophobic if you use words like 'unnatural', 'immoral', etc. in your arguments against slash in general. Stop with the hasty generalizations already! What is it with posters on this site and hasty generalizations?! The person who called another poster homophobic last week in that horrible wranky thread was ONE individual. One individual does NOT represent a group as a whole. Stop trying to paint in entire demographic of people, a demographic of people that numbers in the thousands, btw, in a bad light because of ONE person.
Are you trying to engage me in a shipwar? Was that the intent of this reply? Because it wont happen. I don't need to justify why I love my ship to you or anybody. I just do. K/S is what I like. Hell, K/S is what I LOVE. Just as you like Spock/Uhura. We have different taste, end of story. That's all there is to it.
So, no, I'm not going to engage in a shipwar with you. I'm not going to call you homophobic and if you call me racist I will laugh at you (especially because I, myself, am in a mixed race marriage and the irony would be freaking hysterical).
I will call you trolling for a fight, for which you picked the wrong person to engage. Sorry. I don't participate in mud slinging. What I do, do? Try and repair misconceptions.
Slash fans (and, ironically, they're girls)
Another hasty generalization! Geesh. Just so happens there are some MALE K/S'ers, too. Have some on my flist in fact. And before you start in with more of the common stereotypes associated with slashers. K/S'ers range in all ages. I should know, I myself, am 35. Of my list of several hundred, they range from people in their 20's to people in their 50's. I attended a con last year and met a K/S'er in her 60's (and thought it the coolest thing EVER). So no, that myth that all slashers are sexually confused teenage girls? Just that. A myth.
I'm asking you nicely here, please stop generalizing. It is not kind. If we want the shipwars to stop between the K/S crowd and the S/U crowd, we need to stop making blanket generalizations. Stop being so hostile to one another. We also need to recognize that an entire population of people as a whole cannot be held responsible for the actions of a few bad apples. If you would like, I can provide you with links to K/S'ers who have written meta on why engaging in shipwars and/or character bashing is juvenile and exhibits intolerance.
We like the same franchise, here! Let's start from that commonality and develop a rapport with each other instead of always being down each others throats!
