the bane of my existence

1. Watch a show and pick two conventionally attractive (often white) guys to ship. One or both of them is shown to be straight/only like women.

2. Make great fanart/fanfic of them. Become popular.

3. Start making analysis/theories/headcanons that the only way to interpret these two guys is gay/bi and in love with each other.

4. Start bashing any relationships any of the boys might have with female characters. (Present it as a feminist take, "he doesn't deserve her" or "I ship her with myself" or "I ship her with this other female character")

5. Catch the eye of the shows marketing team, who will take advantage of the attention the ship gives the show. (Queerbaiting allegations loading)

6. Scream "_____ is/will be canon" and accept no other explanation for character behaviour. Bully anyone who disagrees. Including actors and showrunners.

7. Inevitably get disappointed by the shows writing. Scream queerbait.

8. Spread stories about how it was supposed to be canon, but _____ stopped the creators from making it so.

It was. So maybe all of the people saying that the plank wear should be ignored and that the FIA are conspiring against Lando should remember that. And remember that the plank wear rule was implemented as a safety precaution to keep cars higher to avoid more accidents like that one.
