Why do fandoms hate straight ships
I'm not even joking, this is especially evident in Genshin, HSR, etc., my friend who draws GORGEOUS fanart of her fav ships finally had the courage to open her own public art account a few weeks ago and she already got tons of hate for shipping Neuvilette x Navia and Wriothesley x Chlorinde from Wriolette shippers. She even got sent death threats for it, and mind you my friend is a pretty meek person so she took a huge hit from it and hasn't been able to draw for a while now. Honestly let's be real in shipping repression is reversed. I get it, people want to see men kissing all the time me too, but it's so infuriating when I see the double standards. Ive seen so many people condone shipping male characters with set female partners to their bestfriends it other friends but when it's two male characters not canonically tied to one another but are close and one of them gets shipped to a woman everyone's going feral saying it's homophobia. I'm not hating, but please understand my position as someone who just witnesses my close friend harassed over a straight ship for no reason. A Wriolette shipper even called her a pedophile??? I don't get that one because if it's NeuviNavia they're talking about because Neuvilette is an old dragon then isn't Wriolette too?? I'm so confused.
I think it's because a lot of people want all shippings to be gay, they want the gay and hate the straight. I find it really stupid because not everything has to be gay, and it's really immature and pathetic for those people to hate on your friend or anyone who likes straight ships. Fuck those people, your friend should block their asses or ignore ...... 1 reply
Everything made sense once you mentioned it was the genshin fandom LMAO. That's not cuz they hate straight ships that's cuz everyone there is insane. So as someone who has been deep in the genshin shipping community I can provide some insight lol.
I won't deny there's a bit of animosity towards straight ships among certain fans, but specifically f...... reply
That's one of the reasons why I left that damned community. They internalized "gay ships" so much, they made it their whole personality. A lot of my friends that are also artists discourage each other to not make a straight fan art and post it, and I knew exactly why right after. It sucks to have a fandom you can't even call a safe place, especiall...... reply
genshin fandom is just pretty notorious for being huge + a decent proportion of younger/teen fans and therefore having a LOT of drama over things like shipping where they have to have a moral reason for not liking a ship. (and considering tons of genshin characters are non-human/immortal and basically NO ONE has a canon age to go off of there's ple...... reply
Idk why, cause it’s honestly weird to me when EVERY SINGLE character in a series is gay, like you cannot tell me that’s even mildly possible. And people tell me ‘it’s fictional’ yeah but it isn’t fantasy land? Idk, I think people hating straight relationships is weird as fuck and I personally don’t get the ‘man hate’ either, but t...... 1 reply
Honestly I have nothing to say but I'm sorry for your friend, I wish that they take it well and don't get discouraged by those horrible comments and continue doing what they love. reply
