I agree on some points the blog makes on Danny and Scott, but most of it is done in a really tasteless way. First of all, gay people aren't interchangeable. That's just a really gross thing about the "rebuttle" over Sterek shippers. Yes, I think it's gross that Sterek shippers completely ignore Danny, and some go beyond into anger over Danny getting attention(wtf?) but when people say "here, there is some gay in it for you!" like all anybody wants to see is an extremely minor character be used and manipulated by a gross, semmingly sociopathic villain.

I think it is bullshit that so many say things like "We want A RELATIONSHIP!!" because, just be honest, you love the sex aspect. And it's also not even shameful to enjoy the sex aspect. I don't see what's wrong with that.

But a lot of what this blog says does come across homophobic. They make the points about Danny because they know it will gain them support from fellow anti-Sterek people. But they never really back that up with interest. A true method to promoting sane behavior when it comes to gay characters would be to get enthusiasm over Danny, make posts about him, dedicate a blog to him, make art for him.

Not use him as an ending point over why Sterek is disgusting and all these people are insane.

da

the things you are taking issue with like but when people say "here, there is some gay in it for you!" like all anybody wants to see is an extremely minor character be used and manipulated by a gross, semmingly sociopathic villain. - this blog does not do that. I don't understand what you are referring to here? we seem to be in agreement that it's sensible to point out the extent to which sterek fans calling for ~representation ignore the actual queer character.

I really hate the 'oh if you really cared you'd promote X instead of tearing down Y!' argument because saying that misses the point of how fandom operates a lot of the time & feels like derailing. Most times you can't effectively promote X because of how Y dominates. Of course there are people trying dedicate to Danny, to promote him, to get Jeff to develop him, but they are thwarted by the straight white slash ship. That's when you make a blog exposing that. He is an example of how disgusting sterek shippers can get. That's not homophobia.
