The Saiki K fandom is an almost perfect fandom. Almost. It would be perfect if people stopped POLICING MY FUCKING SHIP. Itβs a perfectly legal, normal ship. But yβall just HAVE to be hypocrites when it comes to shipping Saiki with anyone.
I see plenty of posts shipping Saiki romantically with Teruhashi or Aiura, and no one has anything bad to say, but when i ship him with Satou suddenly itβs a problem, suddenly itβs βheβs aroace!!! you canβt ship him with anyone!!!β or βSaiki doesnβt canonically like anyoneβ Atp itβs just homophobia, plain and simple.
First of all, iβm aroace, i ship what i want with characters who represent ME. I know how aroace people behave in romantic relationships, therefore i donβt need roaches in my ears yapping about how bad it is to ship them, because god forbid an aroace person defies your expectations for how they behave romantically. Putting us all in a fucking box wonβt solve shit.
Second of all, and i canβt stress this enough, IT. DOES. NOT. FUCKING. MATTER. Shipping is supposed to be fun, i do not care what is canon and what isnβt canon, but if we wanna nitpick then Saiki canonically has a crush on Satou in the manga. There. I do not care that Satou has a gf. Or what makes Saiteru or Saiura more implied. But donβt get on my ass for shipping Saiki with someone only when i ship him with a man (whom heβs canonically obsessed with, his motives donβt matter)
If i look for content about these two all i find is really mean-spirited videos telling people that the ship is abhorrent and weβre worth less than dirt for liking it. Shit, even on shipping posts we arenβt free to do what we want! Artists will get hit with the βoh i hate the ship but cool art!β THAT ISNβT THE COMPLIMENT YOU THINK IT IS. STOP FUCKING INTERACTING. NO ONE LIKES YOU.
Anyways, even if theyβre not my favorite Saiki K ship (iβm a kubokai truther), they still mean a lot to me, so iβd appreciate if allos stopped speaking over me trying to dictate what i can and canβt ship.
