Why do you not care if a lesbian character is shipped with a man?? Just say you're homophobic 🙏😭
Oh my god.. Fml.. Okay, let's use an example that probably is ass beause I suck with these things..
This is Stacy 🐇 cute lil bunny, Stacy is a fictional character and uh her creator says she's a lesbian 🏳️🌈
A fan of Stacy knows she's a lesbian, accepts that she's a lesbian, and has no issue with her being a lesbian. However, that fan thinks Stacy and Ben 🫏 (another fictional character created by the same creator) would make a cute couple, so they ship them together, make cute edits go goo gaga whenever they see them together ya knoww normal shipping behavior
Does a fan shipping these characters suddenly erase the fact that Stacy is a lesbian within cannon? No it does not
Does the source material suddenly stop existing? No it's still there still representing people
is anyone being forced against their will to change who they are because some stranger out there changed a fictional characters sexuality for fun? No and its very common for people to do that
The canon identity of Stacy is sitting exactly where it was before. All that happened is that somebody, in a fandom space, imagined a different scenario with a fictional character for their own enjoyment. Fandoms constantly create alt versions of characters with different relationships, different backstories, different personalities, different appearances, and different identities all for fun and to explore what could of been or just because they want to
If the person shipping Stacy with a male is like doing it out of spite due to homophobia then yes it would be a problem because most of the time they are also spitting homophobic rhetoric, denying the existence of her cannon identity/saying it's disgusting and all that stuff along with the shipping, but that doesnt make the ship itself wrong it makes them a bad person for being homophobic and hateful. But if they are just doing it because it's cute to them or they just wanna, who careeeessss do as you please you don't need a "logical" or "correct" reason to ship characters.. What you do in and with fiction doesnt make you a bad person ;P
You can be uncomfortable with it no doubt you dont have to like it you dont have to engage with it, you can scroll and look for media that does makes you more comfortable. But calling people homophobic for shipping fictional characters is immature.. •⤙•
