The Older I Get The More I Loathe The Sneering Disdain People Turn On Shipping And Fandom - Tumblr Posts

While I agree with most of this, I think you're missing the huuuuge swath of shipping that is explicitly (heh) political in every possible way and using that dynamic to either double down on the political message of the media or drag the unintended messages of it screaming into the light. It's not shallow just because women are mostly doing it or it's hiding its message within one of the most basic human needs.

But also yeah, hurr durr character hot or whatever. And sometimes you're just fukken exhausted man and all you got in you for today is thinking about how good that food in Spirited Away is and god it'd be nice to have that kind of job stability and consistent housing that kid didn't know how good she had it.

i think its really funny when people say they don't like political media and just want something 'cozy' and 'discourse free' then the media theyre talking about is like. miyazaki movies. or the moomins
