(Anonymous) 2012-11-16 06:30 am (UTC)(link)My ship fuel is character chemistry. It doesn't matter if the chemistry leads to a canon romantic couple or not, I just want to see the characters bonding and having moments together. When that couple is definitely not going to be canon, it's still nice to be able to suspend disbelief.
No homo queer baiting is the ultimate buzzkill. It's a spring loaded clown popping up at the end of a nice bonding scene to tell you that your interpretation is LOL so not ever possible! It means the writers have considered it, and laughed the idea off. It gets in the way of the suspension of disbelief.

(Anonymous) 2012-11-16 06:43 am (UTC)(link)That's a really good analogy for it. And I agree that character chemistry is great ship fuel, and in a lot of cases the only real fuel needed. There are tons of non-canon pairings out there that people ship on chemistry and interaction alone, with no need for bringing in the no homo crap, so unless writers are going to follow through and at least do more than make it clear that they know people ship it, why even bother bringing it up? One of my favorite pairings is one that the writers like to do this with, and like you said, it's a total buzzkill. It doesn't kill the pairing for me, but it has definitely ruined some scenes that are otherwise good right up until they set foot onto the no homo path.
