Aug. 24th, 2012 12:35 pmYes, John Watson will probably get married. He was married in the Doyle canon NUMEROUS times! He was married in the RDJ sequel and did that sequel have any less homoeroticness than the first?
IT HAD WAY MORE!
But no, everyone is acting like it's the end of the world and I'm kind of pissed because..
Haven't we established that if you don't like canon, you should just ignore it and do your own thing? Like all the fic where Ianto, Phil, Wesley, Wash and other are happily alive and well?
Now, if John were marrying a man, would this get this much backlash?
Yes, it probably would but why do we ignore canon m/f relationships?
We get good, well-written women like Pepper and we still ship Tony with Steve. Thor gets a rocket science girlfriend who's too smart for Nick Fury to trust with Phase 2 so what do we do? We ship him with his brother.
Why are we marginalizing women when in the same breath, we complain how there aren't enough of them?
It's kind of self-defeating and infantile, isn't it?
(sighs)
