#kenrius

I am a brokerlynn defender in spite of the controversial age gap. For some reason, brokerlynn is treated with less disgust that kenrius? Not saying there should be any disgust at all but its like, the problematic age gap ship with a trafficker super villain is okay but not the other one because two guys who arent related called each other brothers a few times? Lmfao make it make sense. NO SHADE TO BROKERLYNN FANS BTW I LOVE YALL. Brooke is an adult and toxic yuri all da way!!! I am just very much a “ship and let ship” person. THESE GUYS ARENT REAL!!

I feel like modern fandom culture really overuses incest allegations to attach disgust to ships they dont like!! I see it with dinostar sometimes. People are like “nooo they have such sibling vibes!”

Addressing the Kenrius allegations:

1. The brother stuff is overblown. They arent actually related

2. They did not grow up together and kenji spent a few years livinh with D’s family at the most. You cant tell me D and Kenj have a canon friendship that is significantly different from Ben & Kenji or Ben & Darius. If anything, they are just canonically “closer” or have spent the most time together considering the whole living together thing.

3. People take the brother thing too literal. Men call their friends brothers all the times. Im AFAB and i sometimes refer to my female friends as “sister” or my male friends as “brother.” Do i actually feel the same way about them that i do my actual brother and sister? NO!!

4. Sometimes, people can be in denial of their feelings. My first boyfriend was someone i had known since the 5th grade and was friends with since middle school. I too said “nahhh i dont like him. Hes like a brother to me!!” Spoiler: we ended up dating for a year. Sometimes, when we have feelings that we dont know what to do with or are sfraid of, we try to overcorrect and go to the other extreme to dismiss any possibility of said feelings.

Im not saying everyone who refers to their friends as analogous to siblings are secretly harboring romantic feelings for them. Im just demonstrating that it is a possibility.

5. The brotjer thing can be comphet. Many people are quick to say bengia can be comphet which is a valid interpretation , but that can apply to kenrius too!!

. YOU, kenrius anon, are valued and i respect you and your ship. Keep doing what youre doing and if you ever experience any hate feel free to come vent about it to me.

Aight thanks for coming to my TED Talk people. Ship and let ship!!!
