why did shipping turn into a contest of “most accurate” or “most likely to be canon” why do i have to get a 40-slide powerpoint, three defense lawyers, a fortune teller, and a background check of myself and my whole immediate family to say i want two ppl to have sloppy makeouts in a car

Also: when did shipping turn into a ‘which relationship is the most healthiest in real life terms.’ I mean I ship people because I think their story is interesting, not to get relationship advice.

Also, it feels weird saying this as a grey asexual who finds most porn squicky, but: while “it’s interesting” is not seen as a good enough reason to like something (which it is!), “it’s hot” is seen as a shameful one.

This is bad enough in and of itself (sex is not an inherently shameful motivation!) but gets especially frustrating when it comes to the idea that the only Good queer fiction as at most sexual as a representation of Queer Characters Exploring Their Feelings In A Way Which Happens To Be Sexual. The only people who, say, like looking at girls kissing because it’s hot are gross straight men. Good Queer People are just invested in knowing the two girls have a happy and healthy relationship. And then people say “it’s ok if you’re a queer girl looking at girls or a queer guy looking at guys” which is, amongst other things, not actually much comfort to me as a genderfluid person, in fact that kind of strict gender division makes me dysphoric. If I started identifying as 100% a man, would all my sexy femslash become automatically Problematic? Would it only be ok if I write an essay about it being an Exploration of Gender and Sexuality that just happened to involve hatemakeouts? Whose interests are being served by this pressure to make all depictions of (especially queer) sexuality “pure and wholesome”? 

#BLESSED COMMENT #honestly my fave bomb to drop in fujo discourse when it gets to ‘B-b-ut they only care about this m/m ship for hot makeouts!!’ is ‘So do I’ #not pictured: me getting kicked out of queer fandom spaces because I’m an Inconvenient Gay #‘Whose interests are being served by pressure to make all depictions of (especially queer) sexuality pure and wholesome?’ LOVE THIS BIT #SUCH A GENUINELY GOOD MIC DROP (via @internalscreeching)
