I can’t ignore it anymore, it’s fucking weird to take two characters who are canonically similar or equal heights and feminize—for lack of a better word—the one you think is the bottom (usually also whilst exaggerating the “top’s” height/size). Cut that heteronormative shit out. Leave it with the straights, it shouldn’t be with the queers.
Now before some “big brain” hurts itself, if that’s how the ship already is in cannon or how your OCs just are, fine, great, good for them.
What’s weird is taking it from cannon and straight-ifying it, is what I’m saying.
The way I see it, heteronormativity hasn’t really got a place (or as least a significant space) in queerness. Diverge from it, my loves.
I’m looking at you yaoi/danmei fans, mainly. Also, and I can’t believe I’m uttering this, I’m looking at you omegaverse. Do better.
(Once again. I say it because it’s RAMPANT, not that I’m damning any single person or small group that happens to crisp their egg rolls with it. Please understand that. I’m calling out the larger aspect of fandoms because it’s so commonplace.)
Fandom needs more subversion of expectations, anyway. That shit is COOL, y’all!
