Kinda leaves bitter taste and honestly really upsetting for me how some of these same sex shippers clearly don't have the understanding and awareness that some of the things they said or their fellow shippers said even in context of fiction could add more harmful stereotypes to the lgbtq community. Like as part of the community there are times when I just ???????? while reading tweets from these shippers because okay okay ship what you wanted but there's a limit like if you don't know what you're talking about then better don't because I'm sorry lots of people takes are pure shits and even harmful. This part is actually what makes me more 👁️👁️ to ship like wn because the amount of fujoshis that I know are homophobes irl thus also affecting how they formed their opinions
the problem is most genshin fandom is made of teenagers who think homophobia means not liking a so-called queer-coded ship and who base their whole identity on these characters so they deem it as more important than real queer people who, by denying their beliefs, must be homophobes and deserve no respect.
idk what to think about the 20+ y/o ppl who behave this way too honestly, they're the ones who worry me the most lol.
it's also hilarious if you reflect on the fact yaoi-only spaces are mostly made of straight women and they're parading queerness/using it as a gotcha to appear superior yet completely ignore the rampant misogyny in their spaces.
queer community is supposed to be a place that makes you feel welcomed no matter who you are but it has become an aesthetic that gains you points, the "gayer" you are the better it is. which is why theres also a lot of biphobia, especially towards bi women bc its seen as not queer enough/fake queer.
meh. i mostly try to stay away from these people.
