Connor X Richie shippers, Y’all aren’t gonna like what I’m about to say
I’ve seen a bunch of people starting to ship Connor and Richie (mainly on TikTok) and I have some things to say about it.
First I want to preface this with, I fully support shipping people who aren’t a mainstream ship and stuff like that but not when they’re a toxic relationship. Which some of y’all may not like to hear this but Connor x Richie is toxic.
A big defence people who ship it have is “He only said that because Bower’s showed up” which yes might be true but that doesn’t help your case. He immediately threw Richie under the bus to face blatant homophobia, bullying, internalized homophobia, trauma and more just so he wouldn’t have to. That is not the start to a healthy relationship ship at all. Other people also say “well he’s gay too”, which is not an excuse, just because he is gay too doesn’t excuse the trauma Richie had to endure because of Connor’s actions. He could’ve said something like “I don’t want to play with you, loser” or “I don’t want to play with you, we’re not friends” but instead he went straight for the sexuality part, which is not what a partner in a healthy relationship would do.
In conclusion, Connor x Richie is a ship that would be an unhealthy and toxic relationship that some of you guys are romanticizing and idolizing and it’s not good.
