The neutrality on your blog is refreshing!!! Opinion on antibatcest being homophobia?
I'm going to interpret this as - Do I think people who don't like batcest are homophobic? (if I'm wrong send me another ask or whatever you're comfortable with)
No. No, No.
When you start yelling homophobia because someone is not shipping the same thing as you, we end up in the exact same place as all the female characters who are not discussed because everyone wants to cry misogyny. 
The Batfamily Fandom would be a much happier place if everyone would communicate and hear each other out instead of throwing accusations.
(When it is glaringly obvious people are being dicks of course call it out)
Not liking a ship should never be grounds for you being accused of hating any flavor of non-straight people.
-First off any flavor of shipping the Bats together has certain taboo that people might not be comfortable with. Incest, the age gaps; certain Batships are a full grown adults and a minor.
It is not crazy that people do not like them.
For many, these situations are extremely triggering so already they might avoid it. Nevermind the arguments that can be made about, about discrediting adopted relationships or the issue with assuming two men automatically wanna fuck.
-Now it is for those exact reasons people probably do like those ships.
Taboo, morbid, not ok in real life is apart of the appeal of those ships. There's a reason people look at the car crash or they do risky things.
I did a small amount of research when I got this ask because I wanted to make sure I spoke correctly.
"Batcest"
Truthfully, a lot of the fanfiction that is written as Batcest especially orgies, and things like that are clearly a fantasy put to writing. It's kink.
You also have the fluffy stories where everyone falls in love and it's what have you.
One of the key reasons other than my overall support of the fandom ecosystem that I do not have a problem with that Batcest is for some people it's a coping mechanism.
Look at a lot of those fanfiction that are tagged grooming authors note will tell you they are using these "ships" to process things.
Which is why I put Batcest in quotation marks.
Objecting to it all could detrimentally harm some people who are using it to deal with things.
But some people are also writing it simply because they want to fuck all of the Bats. Or they just wanna play with characters and do whatever.
That is the fandom ecosystem.
Every single day I say if you don't like something, ignore it, move on. Certain ships you're not gonna like, for whatever reason you don't owe someone an explanation.
Operating under that you do not have the right to accuse someone of being homophobic for not liking taboo ships.
In general Tumblr, Ao3 is home of the taboo but everyone has different life experiences.
If you're an adopted child, you probably don't wanna read a story about two adopted brothers fucking, or I could go on.
Before anyone wants to make the argument about what classifies as taboo. Everyone's going to have different interpretations of that and that is exactly why you can't bitch.
-All of that now out of the way I have a very big issue with the justification of ships.
Saying it's homophobia or queer history whatever bullshit we're cooking up today does detrimental harm to people who are trying to live their lives.
Two consenting adults, of the same gender in real life having sex should not be forced into the same conversation as a fictional relationship that in real life would be a crime.
To this day, many people who are anywhere in the Lgbtq+ community are accused of grooming children, being pedophiles. Yes, that is said clearly from a place of hate and prejudice.
But if every single time a ship that is technically pedophilia or has very questionable lines involving consent drags a marginalized community into the discussion. It hurts them.
Yes, in a fandom space it is just people throwing around words but we as people know how very quickly anything will be used against us.
Whatever you want to enjoy on the Internet and the privacy of your own home as long as it is clearly fictional. I do not have a problem with attempting to use real life people to justify it is where we run into the issue.
You're justification can simply be you want to see Dick Grayson take it up the ass from Jason Todd.
Do not cry wolf because other gay people are not comfortable reading the same thing.
Do not attempt to say they are being homophobic because they aren't interested in the same thing.
Do not use the injustice and suffering, real life queer people dealt with for years as a stepping stone for your high horse.
Batcest it's always gonna be a controversial thing because every person is different but I definitely think it has a place in the fandom. To reiterate while you have a place in the fandom attempting put yourself on a higher standing than everyone else is where it gets problematic.
The Tim Drake coffee drinker headcannon is not below Jason should fuck Tim headcannons.
When everyone is contributing to the same pot, superiority has no place.
