The MCYT community has a long standing tendency to overlook women creators, especially when it comes to shipping. Thomas and Gray could have the exact same interactions as Thomas and Micro, and I don't think they'd receive anywhere near the same amount of attention. Micro and Gray have played characters who were canonically in love, yet Thomspr is still discussed far more often.
Thomspr became popular largely from Chained Life interactions, and has continued to be heavily supported ever since. Meanwhile, ships involving women creators often receive significantly less attention, even when they have just as much narrative basis.
This isn't meant as an attack on Thomspr or the people who enjoy it. I like the ship myself. I just think it's worth acknowledging women creators and their dynamics being consistently underappreciated within the community.
