Isn't that also kinda bullshit though? I mean, we are going to care more about things we personally want/care about.

All these people seem to forget though, representation doesnt' matter. The focus is and will always be on MONEY. And the heteronormative mainstream was, is and likely always will be the biggest spender. So anybody saying "one step away from being canon" is almost certainly delusional. Ship what you wanna ship, but odds are good a character is floated as immediately gay from the start because they wanna see if that's going to fly.

This is true. Personally, I don't think the media is the place to go to for changes first anyway. It hasn't done anything groundbreaking in terms of social commentary for decades, at least not in the U.S.

Oh I'm going to disagree. Celebrities and athletes and the like form opinions for a lot of people. Which isn't always the best thing, but you want their support if you want things to change. not to the exclusion of other efforts, but it's not something to discount.

I think the OP wasn't complaining about pairing fans who don't care about the larger issues in general, but the ones who use the larger issues as an argument for their ship when those issues *don't* really matter to them.

If that made any sense.
