rubynye asked: I really adore your writing, so I was a bit surprised to see you hate on poor embattled Sharon Carter in the middle of an otherwise insightful post. Sometimes I really wish it were possible to be a slash fan without being expected to participate in hating on female characters and het relationships.
I’m… not hating on Sharon Carter, though? I’m objecting to the suddenness and narrative incongruity of her being made a love interest for Cap when there’s no goddamn need for it: my issue is with the *kiss*, not with *her*. I’m just annoyed at a) the weird incestuousness of having Cap make out with Peggy’s hot young relative and b) the reflexive Hollywood need to make sure the leading man kisses a lady at some point, even though they don’t have much to do with each other prior to that point.
It’s like the random Joss Whedon decision to put Black Widow with Bruce in Age of Ultron: all shipping preferences side, if the relationship had been with Hawkeye, it would’ve at least made narrative sense, because we’ve got an established rapport and chemistry between the characters, something that makes it feel like an act of conscious narrative progression. But Bruce and Nat have barely any scenes together in the previous films, and suddenly they’re a couple? My objection there is no slight on Black Widow, just as my annoyance at this particular plot development is no slight on Sharon: my beef is with the writing, not the women themselves.

It seems like it’s intended as a nod to the 616 fans who ship Steve/Sharon, with probable intention to push the relationship later (and possibly fridge Sharon, tbh). I don’t…mind it?…because of the flirting in TWS but I’d definitely prefer Steve/Sam or Steve/Bucky or all three of the boys. >_>
