To the C7ers who feel “blindsided” and are outraged by the Seven/Raffi relationship on Picard...how do you all think so many people felt about Chakotay and Seven. I’m not saying you’re right or wrong, and I’m not trying to start an argument. 1/6
I just think it’s hypocritical that for so long those who shipped C7 made fun of JCers like myself for “living in denial” and rubbed the pairing in our faces for so long. (Not everyone who shipped C7 did this.) 2/6
Now those same C7ers who sought to instigate and start arguments are doing the exact same thing JCers did/ have done. They’re saying certain things are or aren’t canon. Then they cry victim when others point it out. So many arguments have spawned over the past few weeks 3/6
I admit to getting involved in one, remaining respectful. I just want all this fighting to stop. If you don’t like Picard then don’t watch. If you want to be selective in what you consider canon then I welcome you too. But everyone stop fighting over it. It gets you nowhere. 4/6
When the whole thing went down that ended the C7 pairing I felt instant joy followed by feeling bad for those who were devastated by seeing it end. Why did I feel bad? Because I’ve felt that feeling of watching and waiting in excitement only to be so severely let down. 5/6
I feel like there’s such a severe divide in the voyager fandom. Why? Why are we so divided over such a silly thing? You don’t like a paring? That’s fine. Make up your own canon and find a way to move on. Just consider that next time you make fun of the voyager novels and JC. 6/6
