There are some ships that you just know would be 100% canon if they were an M/F ship, and that's mainly what pisses people off the most in these situations.

It isn't just about the ship; it's also very much about the homophobia (whether the creators know it or not) that is preventing the ship from being canon when they otherwise would be.

Case should be closed based on this alone

A probably unintented(?) but very funny thing resulting from the Welcome Home update happening in March:

You know how popular holidays are replaced by made-up similar holidays that are each associated with one of the characters? Sally with Halloween/Macabre Menagerie, Wally and/or Home with the Homewarming... And we know from the Merchandise page that Eddie was associated with "Mail-in-Time" Day, the equivalent of Valentine's Day. You know. The one that happens in February. Which just got skipped over. Very funny considering the whole deal with Eddie being ignored and out of work.

It makes me so mad when people say that men and women can’t be friends. I have a few girl friends who have hooked up with every guy they’ve been friends with and say they can’t be friends with men. And then there are so many guys who have no interest in women unless they’re a sexual or romantic partner. Idk if it’s an ace thing but I have close friends of all genders (and I’m romantically attracted to any gender / asexual) who I have had zero interest in romantically or sexually ever, is that not normal????

the show started with Nancy dating Steve and then she started having relationship problems with him (cuz she was in love with Jonathan) and s1 ended with her getting back together with him and in s2 she started dating Jonathan plus Byler has many parallels with Jancy and mleven has some parallels with stncy idk how y’all can't see that plus almost every couple in the show has been in a love triangle with someone else: Dustin, Lucas and Max. both Lucas and Dustin had a crush on her (but Dustin got over it and it was never mentioned again and they even gave him a gf in s3) and Lucas started dating Max. Steve, Jonathan and Nancy. Nancy dated Steve but she was unhappy cuz she was in love with Jonathan, Bob, Hopper and Joyce. Joyce dated Bob and you could tell Hopper was jealous about it cuz he was in love with her and in s4 Joyce started dating Hopper. notice how they all ended up with the second person? and guess what

 gf, Byers             bf(?), Byers               bf, Byers

oh and L*nnie and Hopper were in a love triangle with Joyce and she married L*nnie but now she’s with Hopper

#never forget they used knockout instead of a different name they they had on the trade marks for SEXINESS reason. unreal.#<- can u explain that to me. anyways

yeah 👍🏻 although seems ive walked into a classic blunder of remembering something from a "the basics" video which ofc is from the wiki which ofc, its weirdly sourced and from a tf creator/company rep who. they have habits of just saying shit. ANYWAY. this is actually from the notes section on breakdowns page

the fandom concluded that Breakdown was meant to be Lugnut at some point in the episode's production. The Hub's Mike Vogel challenged this notion at BotCon 2011, claiming that Lugnut had been Knock Out's original name, which had been changed because "Lugnut" wasn't "sexy" enough for the character. The Prime Season 1 Blu-ray commentary, however, corroborated the original theory: Breakdown's place in the show was originally intended to belong to Lugnut, since a loyal Decepticon bruiser was desired, but the show creators wanted a land-based Decepticon instead.

That knockout was purposely designed as sexy seems to be a thing fans say a lot, tho i don't have a specific source to pull for that either. not that its particular hard to believe. and the tacit tf understanding here also being that. as the companies have to content with copyright branding, they prefer to use names they have on the books, and if the characters arent that iconic or new. any name seems to do, alas long as it fits the vibe.

also bonus fun(?) fact! botcon '11 also notable for when the writers said one of the most overly correctional homophobic things ive ever heard. (from knockout's notes section)(it DOES link the relevant youtube panel recording. but i have the wrong kind of mental illness, and would dissolve if i had to watch it, so lets take their word for it)

When asked at BotCon 2011, the Prime writers said that there is no designation for gay, or straight, for that matter, on Cybertron, where Transformers are created by the AllSpark, not through sexual reproductions. They also said that Knock Out is a knock out, and that the Nemesis is a very "don't ask, don't tell" place. And then they jokingly deflected the matter, claiming that Knock Out's mannerisms are not caused by any particular orientation, but are simply eccentricities caused by "a glitch in the AllSpark" the day he was created...

I know there's a big debate between who's taller, Steve or Eddie (I personally like to think that they are EXACTLY the same height, unnervingly so) but I don't understand fics or fan art that make one of them significantly taller than the other??? no hate to any writers or artists, I've enjoyed a lot of fics or art that do this, I just don't really understand why????

[duncanor]

I really love how everyone is so in denial about Trigun 98 and BLR Vash and they try to lie to themselves he isn't genuinely in heat, it's all a 4D chess scheme to distance himself from people by being off-putting

But the truth is, it was just a popular archetype in the old days 😔💔

Jesus, we're really getting down in the exclusionary weeds right now, there was a post on my dash deriding demisexuality.

Leave people alone, Jesus christ, whatever people are doesn't concern anyone else!

Work is fine. My many petty personal problems are also fine. But I need a revolution so BAD

so what if adrien will never know gabriel's identity. so what if he's so female-coded he isn't allowed, by neither show nor fandom, to be anything but sweet and happy and loving, and god forbid he feels anything like anger and fury. so what if gabriel gets more screentime and agency and attention and emotional moments (the right to grieve emilie is to be earned) than him. who cares that the writers don't see gabriel as abusive and they're happily peddling an abused kid as someone useless and irrelevant to the whole superhero thing, since he won't even be at the final battle where gabriel is defeated.

WHO CARES because according to the CANON video game, he's TALLER than luka at 15!!!!! he's TALL. he's gonna tower over everyone as an adult. a true win for the adrien hive!!!!

me when gay people are gay (i am somehow homonormative and heteronormative at the same time)

[basilsbestpainting]

The phrase “Man’s Man” is the gayest phrase I’ve ever heard.

Like, the harder someone tries to adhere to gender roles to assume heterosexuality the more homosexual they sound.
