#The crosstagging of hate into the main ship tags and imposing with headcanons and preferences in other ships' spaces

[chubs-deuce]

Can people ever be like. Normal about shipping for once?

Are we not just having fun with stories and story potential anymore? Making the blorbos kiss and have drama for fun?

Why are so many people treating it like existing in a constant state of war with strangers whose preferences and opinions just happen to differ from ours is part of the package when there's honestly no fucking need for any of it

#Both haters and shippers frustrate me in basically any fandom I touch these days #The people who get all uppity about canonicity in both directions #The crosstagging of hate into the main ship tags and imposing with headcanons and preferences in other ships' spaces #The harassment and gatekeeping and pettiness of it all #The elitism of gay ships and how any and every inclination of a het ship gets the sibling or mlm + wlw besties trestment #And how people who do ship het ships anyways get treated either with pity and “come over to the good side and like my gay ship with me” #Or outright harassment for made up nonsense reasons #The way a lot of gay ships get sanitized to shit also saddens me bc it removes so much complexity and appeal for me #The misogyny and the racism and the wokescold nonsense that simmers beneath so many ship-heavy fandoms #The way “ugh just let characters remain friends” is always applied with so much selectiveness and petty bias #Why can't people just tag their shit right so that nobody's stepping on anyone's toes #The pettiness and call out posting and witch hunting and cross-tagging just to start beef... I hate it. #Y'all need to chill tf out #chubs rambles #It's not that deep
