sasha 2,956 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 i encountered some tumblr confession and first was like wtf? but then i thought about it. it is really an equivalent of lesbians to straight men: straight women find male/male pairing to be arousing but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are LGBT-friendly or even tolerant. i still wouldn't call it homophobic though. found this confession Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Eight 6,542 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I think it is when they force one of the men to be the "woman" in the relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onetooth 4,117 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 no. It's how you treat/view homosexuality. If you ship, but view them as equals and human beings you're not homophobic. Now if they ship, but are grossed out at the real possibility of somebody being gay or they treat somebody who is homosexual badly, they are homophobic.

nancy mcflurry 2,385 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 No. Tumblr is full of idiots that can't take a joke. I bet in the back of their minds they fantasize about the same shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sasha 2,956 Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 I think it is when they force one of the men to be the "woman" in the relationship. it happens quite often really, when hetero dynamic is forced on male/male or female/female relationship. MPREG is still a nightmare for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay 11,273 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 those fans who ship such stuff without having even a small belief that one of them might be gay is stupid, and could be homophobic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRH Ayyu 4,199 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 well mpreg is a thing. so alot of male ship fanfic just push the whole male x women dynnamic onto it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehmy 1,931 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Are all female-female shippers homophobic? No. Are some? Yes. Same applies to this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hizu 6,868 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 no. It's how you treat/view homosexuality. If you ship, but view them as equals and human beings you're not homophobic.

DemonicPotato 2,197 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I think it is when they force one of the men to be the "woman" in the relationship. This, basically. I don't think it's homophobic to 'ship' two people of the same sex, but the way it's done can definitely be. The worst thing is when the shippers try to prove someone is gay/lesbian, which is only done to fulfill their fantasy, by using outdated stereotypes ('doesn't cross her legs!!!so manly!!!for sure a lesbian!!!').

campfire 5,083 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 the gender bending/mpreg ones probably tbh This, basically. I don't think it's homophobic to 'ship' two people of the same sex, but the way it's done can definitely be. The worst thing is when the shippers try to prove someone is gay/lesbian, which is only done to fulfill their fantasy, by using outdated stereotypes ('doesn't cross her legs!!!so manly!!!for sure a lesbian!!!'). so saying that someone is gay is worse than homophobia? l o l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midna 2,032 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Genderbending and mpreg fics are not homophobic lmao And I haven't seen a stereotypical slash fanfic for a LONG time. Maybe it depends on the fandoms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonicPotato 2,197 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 so saying that someone is gay is worse than homophobia? l o l ...no? I don't mind shippers assuming their idols are gay, I mind why/how they do it. Like I said, using stereotypes and especially relating homosexuality to perceived feminity/masculinity.

Thotcahontas 5,149 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Ummmm I read mmpreg ad I am in o way form or fashion homophobic..i don't find fanfictios male x male homophobic o the people who love readig the but still disapprove of real life male x male relationships are has nothing to do with the fafics but the person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onetooth 4,117 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 But even then, they are not homophobic because they ship but because they are grossed out by real homosexual relationships. lkja That's what I meant by the second sentence. let me go edit it to be a bit more clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haru ☽ 1,299 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 The act of shipping a same sex couple is not homophobic, the problem is the behavior of the shippers. Most of the shippers are very heteronormative, and they also abuse the stereotypes, but I wouldn't call them homophobic, they're just... ignorant. It's not hard to understand why a bunch of straight girls end up being heteronormative. And of course, unfortunately, there are homophobic shippers. I've seen many girls fangirling over gay couples but being grossed out by lesbian couples, as I've seen shippers of lesbian couples using "gay" to offend a man.

Basically what I was saying it isn't the fics that are in the wrong but some hypocritical shippers who would cum at a yaoi fic but be on the next trainn to protest against gay rights irl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
