There is fandom discourse happening in a place that I do not go but one of my favorite people in the world does go (not saying who) so I've been hearing a lot about it and apparently "shipping mlm is sexist" somehow? Because everyone should only be shipping wlw or something? The fuck? Back in my day we shipped everyone. All of the time. At once. And in every possible way. They didn't even need to be in the same media. They didn't even need to be in the same media format? What's happening? How have we come so far and gotten turned around? Ship and let ship. I've had ships that would give these folks nightmares
#rae irl#...i guess technically?#it's so strange to see discourse like this for a fandom i am not in#but am aware of because of my favorite person#also i am fairly certain there have been actual studies done on the gender dynamics of shipping and pairings#genuinely i feel insane#i'm too old for this shit cause like what do you mean what do you MEAN#they would not have survived fandom even 5 years ago#this is some purity culture bull shit but i cannot properly articulate how
