gay teenager: i wish that fandom spaces were a little more tame around shipping their teenaged characters, it makes me uncomfortable to see adults sexualizing people my age

gay adult: i agree, it makes me uncomfortable to see adults fixating exclusively on content of young gay people while ignoring any representation of gay people their own age or watering down those characters to unrealistic hollow versions of their actual selves. i remember how unsafe these adults made me feel as a teenager

35 year old bakudeku shipper with ally <3 in their bio: this makes me feel personally persecuted and attacked and actually youre homophobic for this. i am personally going to make you regret being born. i am going to call you new slurs you have never heard before and go through your entire account to learn your insecurities and then proceed to torment you for weeks to come. someone must bear the cross of keeping fandom safe <3
