Never Thought I'd Have To Use That One - Tumblr Posts

I know people typically think that shows need more lgbtq+ representation, but fandom need more heterosexual/romantic and aro/ace representation. Not everything has to be gay or romantic to be good. That's why found family is so popular. It cares more about the characters and their bonds rather than when they're gonna kiss.

That being said, I don't think that romance as a whole should be obliterated. Just that it shouldn't have to be prominent to make a good story. One of my favourite stories only goes to the point of being queerplatonic, which is the best thing ever, by the way. (I'm talking about PitViperOfDoom's Yesterday Under The Stair BNHA FF).

I'm saying this as an aromantic pansexual, by the way. So please don't accuse me of being homophobic for speaking my mind. I'm just tired of clicking on a character or fandom tag on AO3 and being bombarded with a load of gay. That isn't a problem in and of itself. It's when I filter out ships and there is hardly any content, because people are COWARDS.

Ship whoever you want to ship, just also think about the platonic potential. Romance in stories is fine, but don't make it the only reason your story is going. Don't make normal interactions romantic or sexual if they don't need to be. It makes me very sad and uncomfortable seeing how many people look at things like arguing and think that they're meant to be, or look at a canonical straight ship and go, ew, because it's straight.

Just let me read my gen fics, please.
