People always say this but I don't hear it about het nearly as often even though there's just as much of it.

[(Anonymous)]

Don't you know? It's right and natural that males and females end up in sexual relationships, even after first being friends.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't like it when people get overzealous about het-shipping either... crying "Canon!" when something isn't or insisting that all "worthy" fics lean toward their favorite ships. Don't even get me started on the "Die For Our Ship" bent.

[(Anonymous)]

I've been in a certain fandom for years that has a subset of the fandom like this. Never mind that one half of their het pairing is a little girl - they claim it's canon and that it's not squicky or anything at all!

[(Anonymous)]

I guess the difference is that in het, the couples being shipped are usually canon couples/not bffs in canon, so there's no canon platonic friendship that gets altered when people write het. It's more canon-centricism than anything, but of course, this exposes the fact that there are so few close m/f friendships and so few canon gay and lesbian couples, which is a big problem.

[(Anonymous)]

Fandom devotes much more energy to correcting the latter than the former.

I'm in a fandom where a guy is raising a little girl, and no one ever seems to shut up about how she's going to grow up and they're going to fall in love, because they're not REALLY related. That seems to be a problem as well; all the denial when it comes to familial relationships if there's adoption involved.
