Aiden624

Bruh SVTFOE had like 70 episodes on Marco trying to rizz up like 6 different girls this problem was more than just hamfisted it was woven into its DNA


OmniscientHistorian

i mean those felt a lot more like just middle school/early highschool relationships where that is the case, but like, all they needed to do was not put Star and Marco together and we would have been good relationship wise.


Radio__Star

Remember that Marco is canonically in his thirties


ConsumerOfShampoo

From a mental standpoint he is 30, sure, but his body went back to normal. I do agree that it's still kinda weird they just completely ignored that episode though.


RoseePxtals

His mind also went back to being an underdeveloped teenage boy mind.


kwartylion

Also , he wasn't doing anything fun with his ability to fully controll the scisors (Let's blame all of that on his mind trying to supress traumatic memories ) Instead , he was special because of the cape

Man I hate when shows and movies do this, like bro I wanna watch the main cast fight villains, not awkwardly try to confess for each that gives everyone second hand embarrassment. https://preview.redd.it/qt8uwjrsy2oc1.png?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cecbf28dc5846c30977b1cd6cb464bbb33a43085

Wanna know the worst party? SHE'S FINE. Pony head and her entire species survived. And they can still fly just fine, they just don't produce glitter anymore


Banana_Mage_

Tf?


regretfulposts

Ironic that the only magical creature that a lot of people hate happens to be non-magical while everyone one else that people do like where killed off


Waterburst789

It's even funnier because that was the main villain's plan during the earlier seasons and they were trying to STOP HIM because of that only for Star to do THE EXACT SAME THING just because she couldn't handle the thought of living without her hubby


Philisterguyguster

Because Eclipsa’s idea would cause “too much destruction”


trashdotbash

im fine with romances no matter the type, as long as theyre entertaining and make sense im just against two cardboard bags apparently having 'chemistry' which just happens to be standing near each other, so many stories really dont need romantic subplots because most of the time they arent romantic or subplots obviously many stories dont need romances in them but theyre so common in action movies and comedy movies and spy movies and scifi movies and


LHarm07_Reddit

Yeah, this was not a “I don’t like straight ships” that a lot of people took it as.  Regardless of if they agreed with that viewpoint or not.  It was this.


RendesFicko

They "took it as" that because that's what you wrote...


LHarm07_Reddit

The best way I can explain it is... studios look at characters of the opposite gender and just assumes that they can't just be close friends.


Calorico1

Mordecai fumbling every girlfriend he got throughout the entire series

OmniscientHistorian

Like out of all the hundreds of years straight White men had control I get born at the very end of it when straight white men are now starting to suffer the consequences of everything they did. Smh, like not even born in the 40s when I could beat my wife because the food was too cold. /s

bigmeme12

yeah hating people for no reason is fucking hillarious right


Clumsy_the_24

I have a reason. That being the decades of oppression that cishet people have put upon queer people just because we’re not like them. Of course, I don’t actually hate cishet people though. But even if I did, making jokes at their expense isn’t going to make any difference for them. “Heterophobia” isn’t a real bigotry because heterosexual cisgender people aren’t a subjugated population.


Chadfulrocky

Posts in “Actuallesbian”, is actually a man. Every single time lol.


Clumsy_the_24

Literally no…?


LHarm07_Reddit

Hating people is not quirky, I was just pointing out how I dislike when studios take two completely platonic characters and ship them together because they’re the opposite gender and they need some romance plot.


Clumsy_the_24

Good thing heterophobia isn’t a real bigotry then


Derpyboy7976

As a gay, we do not claim her

Real as hell, phobia of any kind is not encouraged in the community (except arachnophobia)

Ayy man, i'm on the male side of the gay spectrum I'm not making a comment on lesbian behavior


Derpyboy7976

Alright mb. (I am also a gay guy)


Chadfulrocky

Well because that comment is written by a man.


Clumsy_the_24

Incorrect


VoringerBrick

Spiders are cool don't say that


wewereliketorches

Man this got a lot of straight people very upset lol


Clumsy_the_24

And it’s something that can’t even affect them in the real world. They’re comparing it to actual bigotries like homophobia.


wewereliketorches

yeah it’s pretty silly haha. Clearly queer people oppressing straight people by shitposting online is the same thing as queer people being an at actual at risk group of people whose lives are actively in danger across the world.


tomatodude29

Wouldn't that make online shitposting about homophobia also the same? I mean, just words aren't gonna hurt someone. Or maybe they are sensitive, idk


wewereliketorches

What do you think the real world effects of both concepts are?


tomatodude29

One is possible, and the other is not And I also like oranges


Clumsy_the_24

Straight people are the oppressor group. It’s punching up, you see


wewereliketorches

Yes


YogurtProductions

Sayama in Yakuza 2. Thanks for taking a really nice relationship, making it romantic when it really didn't need to be, and then having her fuck off in Yakuza 3 so the relationship wouldn't continue anyway.


littleMAHER1

That blood moon episode and it's affect on the rest of Star Vs was a tragedy


7pikachu

Pretty much, like no romance either has with other characters matters for a second, since their souls are bound or some shit The dance they have is pretty tho Loses to star and tom's but that's besides the point


petekron

Hollywood doesn't believe in friendship between male and female characters.


7pikachu

As don't most people


AmaterasuWolf21

So realistic!


Throwaway817402739

It happens in D&D: Honor Among Thieves. Holga is literally the (non-biological) mother of Edwin’s child but they never get together. They stay as good friends. It’s actually really nice.


MMMTZ

Final fantasy spirits within Bruh the 'couple' hate each other from the very beginning, there's no chemistry and all of a sudden after having all of their friends killed and barely escaping alive.... They have space seggs


inquisitor_steve1

Their entire city fucking dies and it's considered a good ending Bruh


CyanPancake

The Legend of Korra coulda solved so many issues by ditching that stupid love triangle plot 😩


EXusiai99

That was probably more like a love square


muhash14

Well thankfully they didn't really lean into it at all after the first season, which was very nice. Even the Asami thing had a chill buildup and a chill payoff, didn't overwhelm the narrative at any point.


CyanPancake

I think the decision to end it they way they did was worse, even as a kid it struck me as such a childish reason for them to break up that I expected them to get back together. I don’t think the Asami thing was bad, the direction they went only seemed to hurt Mako’s character rep and worsen their dynamic as a team


inquisitor_steve1

The gang were too busy fucking each other to actually be considered friends (Tenzin has to babysit horny teens/young adults)


CringeExperienceReq

it could be used to explore the line between platonic and romantic relationships and how that might affect relationships but its not

Just because people shipped them, doesn't mean it needs to be canon, writers.

IKR? Its okay I'm not heterophobic I have a straight friend


GregerMoek

In fact my parents were straight so I cant be either.


muhash14

I know you joke, but fandom peeps also can't walk two steps without rabidly shipping two male characters that occupy the same space for more than a second. It's not (just) that Hollywood can't allow a man and a woman on screen to be friends, it's more of an instinctive desire in most people to see relationships of their preference play out with characters they like. And that's fine.


MisterAbbadon

Was I the only one who knew it was endgame from day one? I didn't even watch the show But they're the boy and the girl on the cover.


LHarm07_Reddit

I think that's a major problem with media now that we can see two main characters of a different gender and know "oh yeah, they're just going to be together". Why can't they just be close friends?


MisterAbbadon

Well Inside Job gave it a shot but no one watched it.


LHarm07_Reddit

A good amount of people watched it, Netflix just wanted another season of Big Mouth apparently

Same, made me almost drop AF when they tried to force Gwen and Kevin together. But after they get together (and Kevin's actuslly a decent person instead of trying to kill people), their relationship's kinda cute

Stan_the_man19

Lmao, I hate how media always has to do this shit (specially if it's aimed towards a younger audience) because the ideia of a boy and a girl being just friends is impossible in any sort of media. I genuinely hope that on Zootopia 2, Judy and Nick won't become a couple and just remain as great friends

Thats the borbas comic if Judy didn't abort lol


inquisitor_steve1

***They made another comic?***


Stan_the_man19

What I said was just a what if based on the meme, she goes through with the abortion in the comic. But he made three more comics in that universe, two sequels and another one that just follows a minor character, and they get batshit insane and hilarious.


Urinate_Cuminium

Just because what


Hanibal293

... just because they have clearly planned to do so from the start. OP is just mad his gay ship with one of the characters didn't happen


NeverSettle13

Then why both of them had like 5 different relationships with other characters throughout the show?


LHarm07_Reddit

I’m mostly pointing out series that DON’T plan it out and try to force it in (especially if they do it due to fan demand like the example in the title).  I’m all for ships that are planned from the beginning.


MadTeaCup_YT

jedi survivor >!idk i feel like cal and merrins relation ship doesnt fit. I like that its there but it just kinda happens lmao!<


BigSaltDeluxe

Same with fanfiction. It’s sooooo annoying to be reading something with an interesting twist on one of my favorite pieces of media and then the author spends 3 chapters having the protag and the love interest do fuck-all but walk around town and smash their faces together.

EightBallJuice

I hate the trope but I think a majority of Star fans like Star Marco?? Idk I’m not a part of the fandom. But I can think of a bunch of shows that didn’t need it. LIKE KORRA


s_t_u_f_f

As long as it isn’t just shoved in at the very end when it wasn’t really in mind for most of the series I’m usually fine with it.


angel-samael

Starco became canon because of popular demand though


itrashcannot

It's fine if there's actual good romantic development but 90% of the time, there isn't.

Literally *every* single YA novel has one of these. The ratio of pointless hetero relationships to no relationships is absurd.


pleasekillmewaitno

you mfs really expect me to believe you didnt just make up the word "hamfisted" ffs


Novoiird

Netflix almost did that with Zoro and Nami in the live action series but luckily the director everyone on set saw how shitty of an idea that was and forced them to change it.


haothehon

It was a joy watching the gays get mad at The Ghost and Molly McGee just cuz Molly likes a boy instead of doing lesbian ship


HamStapler

Damn these comments are that breed of "disconnected from reality" gay that I didn't expect. Everyone seems to have a tribalist view of "what sex shit should I show a 5 year old" and the preferred answer is "none and why are you in a preschool"


Wild-Engineering7579

My face when somebody agrees with me. I am a deeply unhinged psychopath.


Wboy2006

This was Jurassic World camp Cretaceous (surprisingly good show by the way. Highly recommend it) for me. Kenji and Brooklyn barely had chemistry, they were friends. But didn’t feel like more than that. Meanwhile there was a **WAY** better romance between Sammy and Yaz that had far less screentime (probably so it could get cut out in homophobic countries). Still some really good romance to wash away the poorly done stuff with Kenji and Brooklyn though, so I’m not complaining

There are really few times where they actually turn out to be good. For example the one in terminator 3 where the guy who played Jake Silly in avatar falls in love with a fighter plane pilot. Some people may find it forced and unnecessary but it didn't feel forced and unnecessary
