Dear het fans who just can't shut the fuck up (yeah, only het fans who just can't shut the fuck up - I do ship some het pairings too, y'know),
Yes, not all guys who have male friends are gay. Yes, not all girls who have female friends are lesbians. Hell, does anybody actually think otherwise? Because then we'd really have a problem ...
Yes, perhaps I'm ruining lots of beautiful and inspiring male/male friendships and female/female friendships. Oh, screw that, I certainly am.
What bothers me is ... what about male/female friendships? Why don't you scream in my face that I can't ship that guy and that girl because they're totally BFFs and reading something else into it is dirty and wrong and generally something bad fans do? Why aren't you disgusted every time the heroine ends up with her loyal (male) childhood friend? Or when the hero ditches the Alpha Bitch for the cute nerdy girl who's always been there for him and started pining for him when they were just little kids?
Do you think male/female friendship aren't important and shouldn't be valued as much as same-sex friendships? Do you honestly believe that men and women can't be just friends because it will always end in romance or at least sex? Or maybe the real problem isn't friendship at all?
Thing is, dear het fans who just can't shut the fuck up. I can and I will ship whatever the fuck I want - yes, even same-sex BFFs, bros, platonic girlfriends who call each other "sister" and swap stories about guys, and everything in between.
Yes, I'm a pervert. Was there ever any doubt about it?
Love,
