Bingo! RaceFail, LGBTQFail & Misogyny all in one small act of fannish cluelessness

[rm]

A few clueless slashers fetishize real queer people while throwing in fun sides of racism and misogyny:

Oh dear lord. Are they really, honestly, insisting that it's not about the ship while making it obvious that really, it is?

"Nowhere am I so desperately needed as among a shipload of illogical humans."

IE: Yes.

And then I see the arguments for/against a lesbian relationship, and they make me explodey. Because on one hand they argue that guys like girl-on-girl so that's where the money is, so it'd be more accepted! And then there's the argument that it'd be worse because we should be working to undo the stereotypes about gay men first and foremost.

I really have no words.

Yes, because all programs featuring LGBT people in relationships do it for the slashers/femslashers/fetishists and not because, you, know, it's part of the characters' identities. Geez. Everyone knows that. ;)
