WHY
Why do we, as communities, as fans, ship the things we do? Why do we often interpret or headcanon otherwise stated heterosexual characters as queer?
I’ve found, both as a shipper and an observer, that audiences find every possible excuse to make straight characters gay, or at least some form of queer. Worthy of note is that that particular audience is mostly made up of white, teen to young adult girls who in one way or another fetishist gay relationships.
alternatively I’ve observed some clear aesthetic patters with sets of ships. one could summarize those patterns with one word: Balance.
so many queer and popular ships are about combining two opposing thematic characters. a dark and broody character with a cheerful or optimistic one, the hero and the villain, the serious and the goofball, order and chaos, Yin and Yang. and so often are these motifs and characterization points seen in Male Main Characters.
