da

She's mentioned it in passing somewhere. 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.

This gets my vote for the most WTF-moment.

Lol, yep.

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.

DA CU's meta reminds me of some of the discussion over at Slacktivist during the original read of Left Behind -- that not only does she believe this, she is literally *unable to understand that other people do not*, to the point where the only way she can make sense of other people's behavior is to believe that other people DO think the same things she does, but are lying about it, or lying to themselves.

It's such a profound failure to understand that other people look at things differently.

So does she not fucking realize how many gay girls and POC there are in fandom, or does she just assume that they, too, inherently care more about white heterosexuals than characters who look and act like them?

Didn't Clexa fans, like, rent an actual billboard to Inform the Public when their ship got killed? Is that not proof of passion?

Not to mention Clexacon.
