"kids are so whiny and annoying" you want them to be dependent on adults and obedient and silent and convenient but also independent and not needing anything but also without any sense of autonomy and agency but also going outside and getting off their damn phones but also staying inside so they don't get into trouble but also recognizing they have it good but also that the new generation is mindless and stupid but also just say what they want in clear and emotionally mature words but also stop asking for things AND you want them to not be pissy about it? get real

popular m/f or m/m ship (usually white/light-skinned): man grooms, stalks, coerces, literally beats the shit out of their partner

news, critics, and fans: the popularity of this ship reflects a transgressive counter culture in which women and queer people use fiction as a safe space to explore dark desires 😍. the creators have invented a fascinating, twisted, and thrilling dynamic between these two characters, layered with history and gothic symbolism. a true interrogation of patriarchy

f/f ship, interracial ship: [displays any slightly twisted or unequal elements to their dynamic]

news, critics, and fans: um... idk this is just problematic. the creators really fucked up here. these characters are so unlikable and two-dimensional. women deserve better than this. and anyway, why does every show have to have romance these days? the desire to force romance onto shows reflects the myopia and anti-intellectualism of modern television watching

popular m/m ship: the guys get along really well and are twee, funny, and charming, or their relationship is built on quiet insight and respect

news, critics, and fans: the virality of this show speaks to what women truly want in a relationship: EQUALITY! these characters really work hard to earn their level playing ground, and it's so beautiful to see

f/f ship or interracial ship: [does the same thing]

news, critics, and fans: this is so lacking in imagination, so boring and dull. news flash! i don't want my characters to talk in therapy speak. i want my gay characters fucked up insane and cringe!! i'm so sick of flawless characters that are nothing like real life. these writers need to go outside and touch grass

it's actually sad how tumblr killed fandom culture on their own website just like that. yeah, people can still post their gifs/art/fics, but making every reblog its own chain + essentially giving credit to rebloggers individually and making it nearly impossible to access comments/tags as the original poster entirely defeats the purpose of being a creator on here. and while i appreciate the posts already going around encouraging people to engage with op's posts directly rather than through a reblog, it's just going to be ignored like every post pleading with people to reblog and engage with content to begin with
