My friend send me a screenshot of someone posting on Ao3 how TeeTeePor is official and all of us PorTeeTeePor enjoyers should 'move the fuck on'.
My personal favorite was when they said that 'Teetee was always meant to be the top' and 'Por was always meant to be the bottom'. (Read: Nooooo)
Another favorite was how they cannot WAIT for the day Teetee grows 'more manlier' and Por 'fully embraces his feminine side and drops that cool guy act just like other DMD bottoms'. (Read: Op get therapy, I am begging)
I don't think I need to explain, in detail, why this thought process is a) heteronormative in nature , b) pretty fucking homophobic if you think about it c) fucking ridiculous
What I will say and what I always say is, parasociality is ruining this world.
Those two are actors. A C T O R S !!!!!
Their real life dynamics, bonds, preferences, styles and so on are separate from their work.
Implying that you need to 'look' a certain way or 'drop an act' and 'become more feminine' is driving me up the fucking wall more than you know.
Implying that a young and deeply socially anxious acting pair that expresses, countless times that they do not give a fuck about the 'dynamics' of their characters should 'drop the act'
The notion that all DMD actors who act in the submissive/bottom role 'dropped the act' and 'became' feminine is actually, deadass disgusting.
It is no wonder said person posted this anonymously.
Shame was felt, but ignored.
