I’m never sure whether people who want to ship characters with a same sex character feeling the need to illegitimize existing opposite sex canon relationships they have had is more annoying or the pearl clutching you can’t ship this person with same sex characters because their canon relationships haven’t been response is more annoying.
They both are very annoying and I’ve dealt with both. I’ve also dealt with people, in the latter case, accusing everyone who shipped the same-gender pairing of being fetishizers and only in the fandom for shipping instead of genuine fans.
