Over the last day I've seen an alarming number of armys whip out the good old "STOP FETISHIZING THE BOYS TOGETHER" in response to shippers, supporters, etc.

Just say you're homophobic and go. If you accuse people of enjoying the bond between two men, be it romantic, +

platonic, or w/e, and you accuse them of sexualizing them when all they're doing is screaming and cooing over cute interactions and gushing over the idea of them being together, YOU are the problem. YOU are the person that is reducing "gay" interactions down to just sex. +

QUEER PEOPLE ARE REAL. We are real, living, breathing people. We fall in love. Our lives are NOT all about sex. When you suggest that people who ship _insert ship here_ ONLY care about them from a sexual point of view, you are projecting the idea that gay couples don't +

exist outside of a sexual setting.

News flash! People like romance! They like to see two people in a happy, loving relationship. That is the entire reason why romance novels, movies, etc, exist. I can guarantee you the majority of shippers aren't in it for some kind of +

sexual gratification.

The fact that YOU can not fathom looking at two men who are implied to be romantically involved and not think of anything that isn't strictly sexual is a YOU problem, and YOU need to address your own homophobia and heteronormativity. Check it at the door. +

Turn your pitchforks towards the disgusting Y/Ns that loudly fantasize about the boys in exclusively sexual ways. Focus on the shippers that DO reduce the boys down to just objects for their own fantasies.

Do NOT vilify the people in the fandom that just love... love.
