Anonymous asked: honestly... calm tf down... it feels rlly crap for some of us who aren't making those posts to still be seein more hate for our ships than anything else on our dash,, could u just stay in ur lane? jfc

Listen friend, I know it sucks to realise that some of the people who share your ship are assholes, but that doesn’t invalidate the need to call out bullshit in fandom. I love Teen Wolf, but there is hella racism in the Teen Wolf fandom. I love Voltron: Legendary Defender, but there are people in the the V:LD fandom who go around yelling about paedophilia if you don’t ship their faves. I love Supernatural, but holy shit, do not even get me started on some of the fuckery that’s gone down in that community over the years. I’m not saying Kylux itself is verboten or that everyone who ships it is terrible or whatever: I’m saying that there’s a specific issue that attaches itself to that particular ship that merits discussion, and that pretending otherwise is kind of gross and disingenuous, especially with everything that’s going on in the world right now.
