Then why did you create it like this?

The JL fans are Blorps on crack. They have said horrible things to the two actress that have been love interest for the men even though one of them was Martin’s real life wife/mother of his kids and they have both talked about how shitty of an experience it was to see her be on the receiving end of the fandom’s abuse. The only reason they aren’t worse than the Blarkes is because they’re not racist…but only because there is no POC woman on the cast that threatens their ship.

JL is an absolutely fetishizing m/m ship that they’ve harassed the cast and the writers about FOR YEARS. They’ve been told in every way possible that this is not a thing. There has never been an instance where it’s been vague. The answer has always been “No”. Sure, when they’ve been denouncing it, there are times that the writers and even the actors have given less than polite answers at cons or interviews about the ship but it is because they’ve ran out of patience. There is only so many times that you can repeat the same thing to a group of crazies without getting testy about it. They were warned. Things were made explicitly clear to them. They weren’t baited, yet today they’re acting like this is the biggest affront to LGBT that ever happened in media. They’re insufferable and I’m so glad they were knocked out of their pedestal, but now a lot of them have gone from full blown “Moffat and Gattis (a gay man!) are homophobic assholes who baited us” tantrum to doubling down and saying “We know what we saw! We’re STILL right! You’re wrong!!!” because clearly it’s not like Moffat and Gattis are the ones who’ve been writing the show.
