Can people please shut the fuck up about how “shipping every male character is harmful to the male friendship representation”

Literally almost every single peace of media has platonic male friendships in it and almost none of them ends up in a canon relationship. So there IS representation. Some people shipping those characters don’t take away their canon friendship.

And it doesn’t only happen to the male friendships. Every close female and male/female friendship you see on screen will always have people shipping them.

Because guess what? That’s how fandoms work. It doesn’t only happen with male friendships.

Are we really ignoring all the people who assume every man and woman who breaths the same air are canonically in love with each other? But somehow it’s only a problem when queer people do it.

Are we really ignoring how we get so little male/female friendships in media without writers turning it romantic at some point?

But we never get to see two close male leads of an action movie kissing at the end do we? So shut up about “friendship representation” You have tons of platonic friendships.

And the thing is, a lot of people who say this don’t even care about platonic friendships or mlm fetishization by straight girls. They’re just trying to find a way to put queer ships down. They never say “I think this two specific characters are good friends so I don’t like it when people ship them”

Instead, it’s always “these characters showed a little pinch of interest to opposite gender so they’re straight. just let people be friends and stop making everything gay”

Because they’re not actually mad about people shipping two close friends together. They’re mad about people offering the possibility of some fictional characters not being straight

everyone at hogwarts knows about harrys gay dads but some people hear about these two older gay men and for the first time in their lives feel seen. some people, like a certain fruity slytherin kid.

basically draco would have been much less of a twat if he had a positive gay influence in his life, or at the very least someone to tell him he doesnt have to listen to his dad

me: ugh i hate cliches

harry potter fanfiction: they were partners at the potions class and the assignment was to do amortentia and they realized they were each other's favorite smell

me: OH MY GOD THEY WERE EACH OTHER'S FAVORITE SMELL 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Me: Hm, I think this character is not straight.

Someone: Ummm, actually, they dated *opposite gender person* so they are obviously a heterosexual.

Me: *pulling a "bisexual/pansexual/queer" card out of my sleave like it's a poker game and I am about to cheat*

hey anon. Yes. Here he is

Harry being completely oblivious to the fact that his gay dogfathers are gay

takes after his dad, doesn’t he?

Do you ever just think about how Sirius and Remus could stand there and listen to Harry for hours... little Harry... they're just so happy to be there with him

When you find a fic on your favourite ship, with an amazing plot and all the tropes you like.

Say it with me:

In this house, we do not hate on canonical female love interests for the sake of our headcanon gay ships.

Moony through the ages

NEVER GOT WET: you’ve got questions, he’s got answers. who is harry james potter lupin, what’s his family life like, and who’s his weird new roommate?

this is in response to all the love the first comic i made in this verse got :) i’ll link that in the replies bc tumblr hates links. terribly sorry about the length, this really got away from me. also thanks for 1600 followers!! you guys are insane <3

bonus:

i love it when i can tell that a mutual has found a new interest. look at you shipping yet another queerbaiting ship that most likely will never be canon! good on you!

sometimes you read a fanfiction to distract and enjoy yourself but you end up reading a dialogue or a sentence that fundamentally changes who you are as a person and how you perceive the world around you, and honestly i wouldn't have it any other way
