I seriously don’t get why people hate on Butchlander so much on X. If you don’t like the ship, just ignore us?? No need to spread hate. We’re not hurting anyone or changing anything.

We all know Homelander messed up Butcher’s life — we’re not ignoring that. But this ship is just fanon. It’s not that deep. So please, just let it be and move on.

Oh no, the fictional bad man did fake things to the nice fictional woman and her fictional husband in fake Imagination Land!

How dare we ship the bad man and the husband because he ruined his not real life in a fake fictional story.

^ This is what I always think when The Discourse starts. In pretty much every fandom.

You are 💯 correct. It’s not that deep.

“why do you ship them? I thought the ship wasn’t canon?” bro we’re talking about fictional characters, who don’t actually exist in real life, from a media that focuses solely on fictional events that are not real either. so what if these two made-up characters didn’t kiss in their source material? they have lots of nasty gay sex on archive of our own and thousands of novel length slow burn enemies to lovers fics written about them. the fanon content at this point far exceeds the whole canonical franchise. the problem isn’t “it’s not canon” the problem is that you don’t allow yourself to let go of canon and enjoy the wonder of fan contents that are just as good / valid
