It’s a difficult line to define, and no, not all shippers participate in queer fetishization, but some key aspects of queer fetishization include:

• straight or straight-passing privilege
• shipping exclusively white cis men
• usually misogyny (writing out women, killing off women, bashing women for “getting in the way of” a slash ship, etc.), racism (ignoring people of color), and transphobia (ignoring trans*folk)
• consistently ignoring canonically queer characters in favor of slashing canonically straight characters
• comments indicating slashing all men you meet, to the point of disregarding individuals’ sexual identities
• treating shipping as activism
• ignoring, talking down, or harassing queer people for voicing their discomfort with fetishistic behavior

from the “Afterword” of Emma, vol. 5 by Kaoru Mori

Like I said yesterday, Mori-san’s “Afterwords” are the most adorable things ever.  I have a few more that I’ll be posting.

But it’s all true.  That really is what the creative process looks like.

“I don’t want to write poems about regret” - Hanano Sumire

She is in no way related to Hanano Ana (Gintama). She’s the new character from Chihayafuru Season 2. She’s bitchy but very much relatable.

Taichi, boys are not the only ones who must confess we, girls, also need to. Because, if we don’t, we might grow old without someone by our side. What if my dream man is also just waiting for me to say I like him? I don’t want to have any regret.

SUMIRE IS THE BADDEST BITCH IN TOWN HATERS FEEL FREE TO SUCK IT

When I talk about the arc in which these three met I just kind of flail around helplessly and eventually grab people by the lapels while repeating “YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT!  You HAVE TO!” with a level of intensity that gets restraining orders filed and missionaries chastised by their pastors.

Yeah, time for another rewatch.
