Bro the solnex Drama pisses me off so much. Green text - an example of another fandom I’m in
Twice I’ve been in a fandom where people/creators can’t decide to make a NOT RELATED Duo siblings or dating for whatever reason, the first one being Starwars Rebels/Ahsoka with Ezra and Sabine, there are arguments where they are siblings bc Ezra said she was like a sister near the end of the series,they both call the only 2 adults (WHO ARE NOT RELATED TO EITHER OF THEM) “the parents” jokingly, mess around and play pranks together, etc.
But there are also arguments in that fandom to ship them bc Sabine spent 7 years trying to find Ezra in Ahsoka and like in the beginning of Rebels Ezra had a crush for the first 2 episodes.
I personally see them as siblings for my own reasons, BUT I have NEVER said a single bad thing about that ship, and while I’m sure people have fought one way or another about it, I’ve NEVER seen it with the 5 years I’ve been in that fandom. Everyone sticks to their opinions and MOVES ON. Bc it is COMPLETELY FICTIONAL and the characters are NOT RELATED.
The other time I’ve seen this happen is with THIS FAMDOM. and I WISH people had enough respect not to attack people over HARMLESS OPINIONS.
“Solnex is incest” yeah maybe TO YOU, to another person they are completely unrelated. AND THATS OKAY. BC THEY ARE NOT REAL.
And before someone says to me “you’re just saying that because you ship Solnex” I DON’T CARE about the ship. I personally don’t care either way, i don’t personally see them as incest but I also don’t care if they are found family. My Aroace ass sees them as doomed best friends bc I want more meaningful friendships. That is MY OPINION. I’ve found content on both sides of this argument that I think are neat. I just like the characters.
BUT OMG CAN PEOPLE STOP ATTACKING EACH OTHER. yeah that person ships it! there is a thing you can do on the internet called BLOCKING, it doesn’t hurt them! And if your goal is to hurt someone over a FICTIONAL SHIP bc you feel some moral superiority over it then you have bigger problems.
If you’re attacking someone because it makes YOUR Grossed out bc you do/don’t ship it YOU MOVE ON. again I personally don’t like Sabine x Ezra, My first thought is EW THEIR SIBLINGS but then I remember others don’t see it like that SO I SCROLL AWAY.
And like I would like to post something about solar and nexus, I think Solar and Nexus’s dynamic no matter how you see it is interesting. The only reason I haven’t is because I’m afraid I’ll get hate for just posting ANYTHING about them. on either side of that argument.
I don’t like drama and I go into fandoms as a way to escape it, I try to avoid it as much as I can but I don’t like seeing people getting attacked over NOTHING.
“Solar and Nexus are Siblings!” - okay good for you that’s your opinion
“Solar and Nexus are dating” - okay that’s good for you that’s your opinion
“You CAN’T ship it because it’s INCEST” - YOU see it as incest, and I would hope YOU wouldn’t ship them if you do see them as siblings. But OTHER PEOPLE DON’T. So it’s NOT INCEST FOR THEM.
DON’T LIKE? LEAVE AND DON’T INTERACT. IT IS THAT SIMPLE. STOP ATTACKING PEOPLE ON EITHER SIDE.
