I'm so sorry people were so awful on that beautiful Gwyn x Emerie fanart!
And then have the audacity to say "well they're friends in canon so it's okay to say that under clearly queen fanart". So would that make it okay to go and post "gwyn and Az aren't even friends" under Gwynriel fanart? Or "Elain wants nothing to do with Lucien" under Elucien fanart? Because "it's canon". Of course not, and we know they don't think so. Only, apparently, when the fanart is queer does it have to be "corrected" by canon in the comments.
And lastly, we dont even know Gwyn's sexuality which tells us the "canon argument" us just an excuse to diminish queer contributions to the fandom. Because canon Gwyn doesn't have her sexual preferences known. People aren't straight by default just because their preferences haven't been made known.
Absolutely awful behaviour and I'm glad you stood up for yourself.
Like I find it insane that people who claim to be queer and claim to have superior media literacy are denying that until the author SAYS a character is straight it’s all speculation 😭 Also I love how Nesta is clearly the ONLY one who says they are her chosen sisters but my wlw is invalid and incest 😭😂
