hate it whenever a character is canonically with a black girl/woman and then the non-black shippers, ship that person with a non-black character and say they look better/they fit better. i get shipping, and crack shipping but the underlying microaggression in that statement cannot be ignored. i’ve been seeing people do this with tom holland’s peter parker for years now. even recently with francesca bridgerton and michaela stirling and mel medarda and jayce. or when people were open to the idea of tom welling’s clark kent being with rachael davenport and lots of racists in that fandom were up in arms about a crack ship…over a twenty-four-year-old show.
