when will you people learn that people going lol m/f is not the same as people being homophobic about m/m or f/f

this is a niche hobby in a niche website

literally go outside, read a book, watch a movie, engage in any space outside this one

i'm broadly with you but i think calling ppl homophobic for not reading the same gay-leaning subtext in the same way may be a bit of an aggressive stretch. i'd reserve that for people outright going against the canonly stated sexuality of characters, bc sometimes with subtext it really is down to some rpers just not reading the neon rainbow room rather than having malicious intent.

+1. Not liking someone's m/m or f/f ship does not mean you're homophobic, and using that argument to be an asshole to others banalizes and waters down what homophobia REALLY is. And I've seen it used sevberal times to frame other shippers are bad people and EVIL HOMOPHOBES.

honey, not shipping your pet m/m of f/f ship is not automatically homophobia. shipping is not activism, vtw: you're not helping real and living LGBT people with your bullshit.
