the fact that people immediately ship actual living real breathing men together just because they have a close friendship is the exact reason that so many guys feel like they canât be like that with their guy friends because they donât want to be perceived as gay when theyâre not. y'all complain so much about toxic masculinity and yet perpetuate that culture every chance you get
This deadass fucked with One Directionâs dynamic, so the usual âitâs just fictionâ line doesnât apply here.
The amount of male celebrity friendships that have pretty much fallen apart because they keep getting shipped is horrifying.
Look at Markiplier and Jacksepticeye.
They were fine with the shipping at the beginning when it was just mild âone these two have such a cute dynamic!â
But it didnât stay there. Sidedly there was porn, very raunchy porn of them being drawn and having both of them tagged in it or sent to their inboxes. They asked for it to stop publicly and it tettered out a little only to start up again and this time with threats to their girlfriends over them âgetting in the wayâ of the ship.
And people wonder why there was over a year break between the two doing collars and why we hardly ever see collars between them anymore
That puts a rather different complexion on the âtheyâre totally dating uWuâ jokes about Ethan and Mark in the Unus Annus comments.
Itâs messed with Supernatural too. Jensen Ackles (Deanâs actor) becomes visibly and vocally angry and annoyed every time obnoxious shippers bring up a certain ship, because speaking about how uncomfortable it made him led to a smear campaign that labeled his as homophobic during the early 2010âs.
some other examples of male internet celebrities being shipped together a lot:
Arin and Dan from Game Grumps
Shane and Ryan from Buzzfeed Unsolved
Didnât it fuck with the Stranger Things kids too?
So Iâve heard.
Yeah, it doesnât just affect celebrities tho. My brotherâs friends on his old soccer team were percieved as gay. My brither himself
Iâve heard of that too.
but doesnât it boil it down to weirdos projecting their fantasy on to people? itâs their problem, not the friends =(
stop shipping real life people you fucking freaks
And if you do, keep it to yourself.
no, just straight up dont do it
THEY ARE REAL PEOPLE. They are real people with FEELINGS that can see these fics and be affected by them.
Go ship anime boys or fictional characters who canât feel and donât exist. Fiction is a playground to do whatever you want, but NEVER bring that same crap into the real world.
Now Iâm stuck wondering about the overlap of the kind of people who think itâs perfectly fine to ship actors together, but that itâs a sin to ship cartoon characters together.
A perfect circle
but when you add the overlap between BOTH of those and the people that get Big Mad about men liking fictional lesbian content
you get another perfect circle
Tbh its not just men being percieved as gay. Apparently because I srare off into space sometimes and people walk in front of me so I end up âlookingâ at their ass or something that makes me a lesbian. Or because I have short hair and an instagram full of dogs and random pics of my family Iâm a lesbian. Happens to girls too, just not as frequently. Its really a terrible thing to do to anybody though.
This is the only place where Iâll draw the line at.Â
You can write whatever you want about fictional characters. As long as theyâre fictional characters, even if what you wrote personally offends or disturbs me, even if I truly believe your written piece should have never seen the light of day, I will never go after you for it. Because⌠those characters are not real, have not and will never be real, and writing about those fictional characters cannot directly cause harm to another person in real life unless that real life person consented to reading your content and were then negatively impacted by reading it.
But if you actively ship or write about real people and treat them as though they were fictional characters with no agency, I will go after you like no oneâs business.
First darned thing I see on my scroll back other than that chat is this an' I wonder why I'm not here more often
