I don't know why people are claiming this means Lapidot won't happen, as I think Lauren's post was in direct response to people claiming their scenes were 'queerbaiting' or manipulative in some way, and they wanted to set the record straight. The 'I can't speak for the others' doesn't mean 'because they disagree with the ship', that's just something you HAVE to say when speaking about something high-profile that could cause backlash, as you don't want it to affect other members of the team. 1/2
I work for a facility in the public eye and I would have to do the same if I spoke to the media. I'm sure there are a whole variety of preferences in the crew, they're a big team of people! But the fact remains that enough of them approved of Lauren's take on Lapis and Peridot, including Rebecca, that we got all the stuff of them in the show. Lauren wasn't twisting anyone's arm here. They just want everyone to know that as a queer person, they do care deeply about that representation. (2/2)
