sad things I've heard "I hate Shallura because its Hetero!" me: ... *takes a deep breath and moves on because I cant be bothered with this stupidity*
I believe the Shidge fandom has gotten harassment over this before. One post was something along the lines of “Look how far the heteros will reach.” I have witnessed this across multiple platforms, fandoms, and time that a hetero-presenting relationship must be bad or unhealthy. Even then people go above and beyond to demonize hetero presenting relationships.
I haven’t even touched base on the pan/bi/ace/demi erasure that is prevalent not only in fandom but in LGBT+ spaces as well. I have been told before that I don’t belong in such space because I “chickened out and dated a man.” It’s extremely hurtful.
All ships should be welcome. Regardless of representation. We need healthy presenting relationships in all forms. Gay, straight, bi, etc. Ship and let ship. Enjoy what you like. Don’t harass others for liking what they like.
