Here’s to hoping that nobody is rude to you for drawing majorscythe
(pls forgive if this is extremely messy LOL)
here’s to hoping as well :’-)) it has genuinely been a fear of mine ever since i started being more comfy drawing them romantically and that fear has just . never stopped . and i think especially on twt it was very apparent when i openly expressed shame for posting on main and making an alt to separate posts about them LOL .
i am very grateful that so far i’ve only seen a bunch of respect and support (i like to thank especially the people who reached out), i haven’t seen anybody celebrating which is great bc in this part of the mcyt fandom there’s definitely been a lot of important discussions, but some of the aftereffects have lead to unnecessary hate to mm shippers and the overall demonisation of mm ships/shippers .
when tf!majorscythe was gaining traction so many antis were already quickly trying to shut it down and call them brothers, on bannerfall flowersmith was also receiving the short end of the stick . this rising trend has made it extremely difficult to fully express my interests without feeling shame or fear and the recent boundary update might just be extra fuel to the fire (though i am extremely grateful that in pyro’s stream today he’s expressed his support - but again ,, the antis ,,,)
(i will be speaking abt this generally vvv)
additionally, as much as platonic relationships are important stories to be highlighted, it should never be used to demonise or shut down romantic ones . there’s is as much romantic potential as there is platonic when it comes to relationships as a whole, and to shut down discussions of either or only separates us as a community . to shut down romantic ships as platonic and to dismiss platonic pairings as romantic when there’s completely nothing wrong with it in the slightest as how the fandom interprets them or in regards to creator boundaries only does more harm than good .
there is also the discussion of how much the mcyt fandom treats this space as any other fandom space, when in truth so many facets should be approached differently/cannot be approached the same way due to the unique structure of mcyt content, in regards to content creators and their characters
circling back to the boundary updates today however, this is my statement that any of my content going forward regarding scott and pyro, or maddy & pyro with other characters, are strictly and explicitly platonic. all of my previous shipping posts will not be deleted but i request to not engage in it any further. for shipping pieces than can be interpreted as platonic please interpret them as such :’-)
im saying this as im still fully invested in tf!scott and tf!pyro + tf!pyro and tf!maddy as duos and will most definitely still create content with them in it, but i don’t want anyone to misinterpret it as shipping .
