As much as it frustrates me when people believe romantic relationships are somehow more valuable than platonic ones, I also don't understand why someone shipping characters who are close friends together (f/f or m/m) is seen as diminishing their relationship.

like, the characters are still besties. the romance is built off their deep bond, the friendship is why people ship it

I'll see it under edits a lot, comments like, "finally, someone who understands they're JUST FRIENDS" or "why are you ruining their friendship?"

And look, as someone on the aro and ace spectrums, I really understand frustration with other people devaluing platonic bonds, I truly do. However, such statements often devalue friendship within them ("just friends") and assume the people who ship them cannot possibly comprehend the complexities of the relationship simply because they see it as romantic - which is not the case. tbh sometimes I end up shipping a pairing because the only people thinking deeply about their bond and posting about it are the shippers! (that's what happened to me with eremin lol)

uh anyways we know the answer is primarily homophobia, probably mixed in with some genuine frustration about amatonormativity. It sucks that the language aro/ace people have for commenting on this issue is so similar to the rhetoric other people use to poorly conceal their homophobia. There is a genuine discussion to be had about how romantic and sexual relationships are valued over platonic ones and placed on a pedestal, but they get lost in the sea of bad-faith comments.

For instance, I do sometimes see the bond between characters be reduced to their romantic connection, even in well-intentioned analyses. The "would friends look at each other/treat each other like THIS?" style of posts also often rankle me because yes! I do look at my friends with adoration, and we do hug and we do go out of our way to support each other. Yet, those are traits I enjoy in ships, so I can't even get too mad lol. The problem is when that type of affection is thought to be relegated to romance.

I feel like if you want to convince somebody that your ship makes sense just edit them to Lover You Should've Come Over by Jeff Buckley. It works almost every time

thinking about konoha tabloids reacting to narusasu during boruto era like i can absolutely see this exact headline but about naruto and sasuke

“Hokage not wearing wedding ring again during another visit to Sasuke Uchiha’s house which could mean nothing”

[twomiddlefingersforthehaters]

His little blonde mind is full of Sasuke!

The other day I was thinking about how wild it would be if people spoke about Brokeback Mountain the same way the Naruto fandom speaks about Naruto and Sasuke's relationship. Like imagine people going "Jack and Ennis relationship isn't written romantically because they married women and had children with them" and then we are shown miserable marriages, neglected kids and both men still seeing each other without the presence of anybody else, y'know kinda like... N+S

Obviously the fact we're shown sex scenes between Jack and Ennis is the reason why the audience can't simply say it's a platonic brotherly friendship like they love to do with every mlm ship with romantic homoerotic writing that also keeps its writing PG-13.

But TRUST if there weren't sex scenes people would deny their homosexual romance and say that, for example, the scene were Jack and Ennis are shirtless and chasing each other playfully to then lay on the ground in each others arms is just bros being bros. Just like Sasuke telling Naruto they know each other hearts is just bros being bros, or Naruto wishing upon a shooting star for Sasuke and saying he will be the home Sasuke can return to is just bros being bros *eye twitch*
