He sounds like a douchebag He isn't really wrong though. Two male characters on screen and aren't sworn enemies? They shared one sentimental moment? THEY'RE CLEARLY MEANT TO BE TOGETHER FOREVER AND EVER, THEY'RE JUST MOMENTS AWAY FROM SWORDFIGHTING EACH OTHER.

I get how it could be annoying, and even insulting, to make an effort to portray what could easily have been played as the typical bad ass action bros as complex humans who actually deal with their complicated feelings and develop a close, emotionally open friendship just to have a bunch of people be like "ermagherd, when are they going to touch tips!?"

He does have a point. In many ways, the fanatic parts of "shipping culture" are just promoting a different version the toxically masculine ideal that a man showing any kind of affection or emotional openness to another man must be gay. We should be normalizing the idea that men should be encouraged to show genuine care for each other in a platonic way. Though I do also understand the frustation on the part of the audience given Marvel/Disney's seemingly physical inability to have an openly queer main character, even if they're willing to tease it super hard with characters like valkyrie, but are too cowardly to actually commit to it.

Holy shit, Mackie just dunked on em and earned that shield.
I support the gay community, but he's absolutely fucking right. It's offensive and borderline counter productive to paint this picture that two men can't be close friends these days without eventually going down on each other lol. That sounds like some goofy ass republican propaganda from the 40s lmao Plus Bucky is already trying to clap Sam's sisters cheeks. I honestly don't know or care if Sam's sexuality has been established. I don't watch these movies for romance, gay straight or otherwise. --- "You go.

I mean he's right, but it's not limited to just gay relationships. Every friendship doesn't have to end on a relationship or attraction. Except when there are 2 gay men in any media, it's like they just have to get together for whatever reason. It's not always the case, but it's significantly more likely than when there are 2 straight people of two opposing sexes

I can sympathize with him at least to some degree. Shipping is going to happen for everything, but the particular m/m shipping community that grew out of tumblr and tvtropes is very knives out about it and get really unreasonable about their headcanon to the point where their ships not getting fulfilled is treated like bigotry.

Outspoken shippers are irrational and generally super fans, so it's likely one may encounter a greater frequency of them if they frequently interact with fans. As long as he's not bitching about a single person he once talked to, then it's a legitimate complaint.
