She thinks women who only have f/f relationships are "props" that people can never truly be emotionally invested in--people only pretend to like canon f/f ships for Woke Points, while it is only Tobin, which is necessarily het, that awakens shipping passion.

I have never seen that kind of UNKILLABLE PASSION over a non-Ted/Tobin story. And I might get into hot water for saying this but frankly—I think most people would trade in ALL their favorite Social Justice Approved, Casual Performative Reblog shows in a heartbeat if it meant they could get their most desired endgame on their #1 traditional, cishet white male-led Ted/Tobin show. And I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that in the slightest–hell, I know I would! But fandom is a frustrating place because it’s an environment (or has become an environment, IDK) where we’re not “supposed” to feel this way so most people pretend they don’t, only what’s even the point of that?
Yep, all those Swan Queen and Clexa fans, doing all that casual performative reblogging and fic writing and Twitter campaigning purely for the SJ points. No passion there at all. I'm sure they would definitely prefer endgame het.
