I'm not getting anywhere near as many horrible comments as I was expecting to get - a few people saying "That may be true but he still never loved [INSERT GIRL HERE]"

which is just stupid. but most of what I've heard back has been people sharing it in total gratitude that someone finally articulated it

Me, a person who witnessed the ship wars: it's been 24-25 years. Let this shit DIE. Please. T_T

But yeah, the sheer amount of ship wars that come down to 'which character performs their assigned gender 'correctly' instead of like you know... other stuff like chemistry or possible character development or even if you just like it. (Which let be real, some of the people in ship wars don't actually like the couple, they just need a flag to fight under.)

YOU DID IT

I don't even go here and I love this
