*me pointing to a ship* close platonic relationship

*fandom crying voice* no… that’s wrong… they cant be platonic………. stop….. theres no proof…… ………. they look into each other in eyes and hugged like once ……. stop saying this fake thing….

*me pointing to a ship* luv that close platonic relationship

half of the replies on this post are people being like “yes omg sherlock and john / dean and castiel / any popular gay ship in any fandom” and i think that says enough about how bad this post is

also, in those shows, they aren’t romantic! they actually are platonic relationships! so why is taking a popular m/m or f/f ship and going “no theyre actually just friends in canon” any different from taking a popular m/m or f/f ship and going “no those characters are actually straight in canon” its the same goddamn thing. close platonic relationships aren’t few and far  between. y’all have them and get upset when other people see it as romantic

not wanting to have a romantic relationship isn’t radical. getting upset when gay kids see themselves in characters isn’t radical. y’all aren’t oppressed, you’re homophobic
