Re: WHAT UP

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not a fan of Sterek, personally, but I don't think the lack of Scott/Stiles slash is entirely because Scott is a POC. I think it has more to do with the fact that the way that Scott was written in season one didn't really resonate with a lot of people, and he wasn't very popular with fandom as a result. I love Scott as a character, but the writers focused a lot on establishing the basis for his relationship with Allison in season one, and as a result some of the things I think they were trying to get across about his character (the fact that he never really gives up, cares deeply about everyone - not just Allison, etc) got a bit lost in the shuffle. He had this horrible, life changing thing happen to him and was thrown into circumstances beyond his control, but there were times when it seemed that story took a backseat to "SCOTT + ALLISON = TRU LUV." Yes, people do tend to get fixated on one another, especially at the start of a relationship, but I think a lot of people just found it incredibly irritating that people were dying and there was horrible shit going on, and yet a large chunk of the narrative wanted to focus on walks through the woods and random make-out scenes. Scott and Allison are great together, but for large parts of season one the writers were trying to sell it so hard that a lot of times Scott came across as caring about Allison above and beyond anything else. I don't think Scott's as completely and terribly awful in the first season as a lot of fandom likes to portray him as being, but there were honestly parts where I found the constant "AllisonAllisonAllison" pretty damn annoying.

As for Danny, I have yet to come across anyone in fandom who doesn't like him, and Danny/Jackson has a pretty decent following, as far as non-Sterek ships go. Danny is, unfortunately, a tertiary character a best, though, so it's a bit more understandable that he isn't included in as much of the fic as the main cast. But considering the amount of screen time he gets relative to the amount of fanworks including him, I think he gets a decent amount of love.

Now, if you want to talk about the fact that so many people seem to forget about Danny when they're clamoring for an on-screen queer romance and holding up Sterek as the best choice for this, then yeah, there are some definite issues there. But that has to do more with the general tendency of overly enthusiastic shippers to erase canon queer characters in favor of promoting their ship as the One True Way to increase queer representation and equality for all.
