that whole n*v ship zine thing is so funny cuz a bunch of ppl decide to play fujoshi games and got mad they won fujoshi prizes (ie: the exact ppl they branded their zine for showed up)
but i don't even go here i can't even stand that french dragon ideg why ppl making entire for profit projects for him
I actually adore this ship and have previously not found the shipping fandom to be this hostile. I also see the shippers of that ship defending the zine and its artists so I think it’s hard for me to see this as a yaoi shipping culture thing and more of an issue around communities letting homophobia and heteronormativity run rampant in certain shipping spheres and defending it as a “it’s East Asian shipping culture to act like this you can’t criticize it.”
All fandoms have an issue with weaponizing social justice language imo is it ends up defending a lot of actual bigotry.
They’re my genshin otp and the dynamic the zine was selling for is my preferred dynamic and I will still be purchasing it but I’ve been loud about this alongside my fellow shippers because we don’t want to share a community with people like this
