THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS

They care about each other so they want to have sex. Of course.

I hate every single one of you people that are like this. You are what’s wrong with fandoms and fiction in general, your complete inability to see relationships as anything other than an excuse for your favourite hot menz to put their dicks in each other.

YES I AM MAD AND I VALUE FICTION, SO I TAKE IT VERY SERIOUSLY.

So I say again, fuck you all for shitting on what is a fine comic book friendship/rivalry just because it got turned into a film that stars some very handsome actors. If you’re going to do it, at least do it right. A bald, non-leader Chuck and a softening Magneto on Utopia. It’ll still be wrong but at least you’ll be using… some sort of real source for your madness.

tl;dr I’m mad and slash ruins everything.

From a queer slasher: FUCK YOU.

As a slasher who is queer and who ships this because if I didn’t I seriously could not enjoy this film, because if I didn’t ship it then I’d be watching a fucking queer allegory (because yes, X-Men has been confirmed by the screenwriters to be a queer allegory) about straight men being straight and I am so fucking sick of straight men being mouthpieces and metaphors for people like me, having to read shit about how people like me “ruin everything” is fucking doing my head in. I know I’ve reblogged 239048290 of these goddamn posts before, and I’m sorry to anyone who is sick of them, but I am in such an angry queer mode at the moment.

I am not SHITTING ON a piece of media by slashing two characters. Tell me, how does the original film change because I have slashed them? Answer: it doesn’t. At all. It’s still there! If it was good before, it’s still good. My slashing has not hurt it. Tell me, does anyone suffer if I slash them? Anyone get hurt? What’s that? Nope? FUCK OFF, THEN. If it doesn’t hurt anyone, and doesn’t change anything, why is it even your damn business?

Stop telling me to not do something that helps with my feelings as a queer person who gets no representation in the media, like the ‘sanctity’ of these characters being straight is more important than my actual ability to consume media IRL as a queer person. Stop telling me not to do the thing that helped me come to terms with my sexuality, i.e. project my feelings onto fictional characters (and no, I couldn’t have done it to the already queer characters, THEY BARELY FUCKING EXIST). Stop acting like it is disrespectful to make characters queer, like straight characters are being degraded by not being straight anymore- just, really? You see no problem with that?

Stop reducing the idea of a LOVE STORY down to sex just because it’s slash, because no, slash is not all sex because no, queerness is not all sex. I don’t give a fuck if they fuck.

I do not do this because I think caring = wanting to fuck. I do this because I think they have an interesting relationship that would have been interesting to see the dynamics of as a romantic relationship, and because changing it in fanfic to explore that is therefore fun. Like, what, looking at a relationship and thinking ‘wow, as a romance that would have gone some interesting places, let’s have a go at that’ is ~shitting on it? Lolno. It’s not. It’s me doing something I enjoy and that if you don’t enjoy you can easily ignore.

YES I AM MAD AND I VALUE FICTION, AND ESPECIALLY THE IDEA THAT EXPLORING ‘WHAT IFS’ THAT ARE NOT WITHIN THE ORIGINAL PIECE OF FICTION ARE PERFECTLY FUN TO EXPLORE, AND *ESPECIALLY* THE IDEA THAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO CHANGE FICTION TO BETTER REPRESENT THEMSELVES AND HELP THEM, SO I TAKE IT VERY SERIOUSLY.

Also, people fucking shipped this before this film. I ship it MORE in the original trilogy. It’s infamous in comic fandom as the QUEEREST FUCKING SHIP EVER. It is NOT because of the new film.

tl;dr slash is a useful tool for queer people to represent themselves in the media that so vastly underrepresents them, makes me feel better about myself as a queer person, and helps me work through my sexuality. It does not hurt a damn soul. So stop acting like making two people less than heterosexual in fanon is somehow ~UNACCEPTABLE. And take your ‘but why can’t they just be frieeeends!’ BS and shove it, because characters like these are ‘just friends’ all the DAMN time, and just once, JUST ONCE, I want them to be IN LOVE because for gods’ sakes, WHY IS EVERYONE SO FUCKING STRAIGHT?! Stop whining about people changing your friends into lovers, because there are a million places you can still find that friendship (like, say, the canon), and next to no places for us to find those lovers.
