i mean i've seen the "why can't they be friends" argument towards wlm ships too but also that person homophobic af saying seeing them as friends is more "wholesome" than seeing them as lovers. not to mention the blatant disregard to queercoding
yeah that's basically it lol plus "why can't they be friends" works as an argument against wlm ships because it's seen as the default irl, which is what annoys the fuck out of women (and is often used against them irl!! the whole men and women can't be friends ideology is literally doused in patriarchal standards). if you see a gay couple irl there's a 90% chance people will assume they're just friends though so it's rly funny how ppl have double standards but refuse to admit they're double standards bc they're too busy thinking of the default.
