yeah, well, so do Kirk and Spock, fine characters all on their own. And yet when this shit comes up, it's always Uhura who would be just fine on her own and no mention of the mens. It's annoying. She can be awesome and have Spock in her bed every night. One does not take from the other.

I wasn't meaning to imply that Kirk and Spock aren't great without love interests. Because they are, they're all three awesome. But this was replying to a statement that the OP was hating women and we were discussing Uhura in particular. The original secret was hoping for Kirk/Spock, so talking about them being single didn't seem terribly relevant.

But now that you have brought it up, I don't think a character of any gender requires a love interest to be great. I also genuinely don't believe that having a love interest makes one less of a character. Both are great options. I just don't think that taking somebody out of a pairing is hatred for the character or their gender.

DA

I just don't think that taking somebody out of a pairing is hatred for the character or their gender.

Agreed.

I think it's a problem when someone declares that So-and-So should not ever be with someone of Specific Gender.

You have a problem with Spock being with Uhura? Okay, that's cool. You have a problem with Spock being with anyone who happens to have a vagina? Far less cool.

the more I read these threads, the more I feel that some fans are just making excuses up. You ship K/S, of course you don't like S/U or any other pair with those characters. They can be the best ship of the planet and you'd still have a problem with it, and it's fine, everyone can understand we're all like that. But, please for the love of God, spare me the whole "faux feminism 101" crap.
I.don't.buy.it.
It's getting old.
