One of my fandoms had a ship week for the m/m juggernaut that had the ~complementary~ f/f ship tagged on for no reason. If that's not vegetables, I don't know what is. (And it pisses me off because I'd LOVE a ship week for the f/f ship, but I fucking hate the m/m ship and I KNOW a lot of people who ship both either ship the f/f ship out of duty or because it ~frees up~ the dudes. I've even seen someone post a huge fucking screed in the f/f ship's tumblr tag about how much they love the m/m ship with one whole line at the end about the f/f ship being good too. Utter dreck.)

I don't consider that "vegetables." I consider that mistagging.

DA Canon has F/M and F/M, or maybe just one big F/M pairing. If someone ships M/M, but doesn't want to make the female characters into harpies or kill them off, they may add the F/F ship in the background as bit players and make some noises about them being ~so important~.

/has a couple fandoms that have followed this pattern. It makes it really hard to search for your F/F ship, because everything with them is also tagged with M/M, and a small percentage of those will actually focus on your F/F ship, but if you screen out the M/M ship, you'll miss them

As an increasingly bitter Merrill/Female Hawke fan, I will drink with you nonny.

Almost 300 fics and at least 280 of them are actually Fenris/Anders.

Out of curiousity - Person of Interest fandom? Because this sounds like PoI fandom.

It sounds like a lot of fandoms tbh.
