So much sympathy to Mintywolf. I have, at times, caught some shit for Utena and Anthy being in a functional relationship in Archimage because some people in the fandom think they're "just close friends." You should've seeeeeen some of the comments on the Harry Potter story Akycha and I write together (Friends and Strangers) when they hit the fact that Hermione and Ginny were the "surprise ship".

Minty handled that beautifully. But it's really fucking shitty that someone can't see past their heteronormative noses and keeps trying to enforce compulsory heterosexuality on someone else's narrative.
