How do you feel about straight pairings?

[Totomato Zelo]

if i see a good looking guy like a girl and there's a another cutie in the anime i get mad and get crazy...like...like shougo chara =(
i try do ignore it but i cant i guess i have heterophobie twisted twisted  

[Asphodel_Winter]

Nope, definitely not just you. Almost all the time my reaction is the same as yours. But there are some straight pairings (not really counted pairings, but still) that I like... Like Snape and Lily... it's just too sweet to be, you know... In my opinion at least...

But in almost every other show, anime, book, whatever, I DETEST straight pairings. biggrin To the point I generally just detest all the female characters, although I'm a female myself. O.o sweatdrop  

[LazyButler]

In my opinion, it's boring if it's straight 3nodding

I absolutely adore heterosexual pairings.

What I can't stand is people who insist that because the creator placed a male and a female character together it is instantly a boring and stupid waste of time.

I think it's sad that a female character can be so quickly hated just because a fan wants to see their favorite male character with another. I feel just awful seeing that level of disrespect for the creator's ideas and hopes for their series.

Plus, there are just some homosexual pairings that are just pathetically stretched to the limit.

I will ship Kyon and Haruhi as much as I would enjoy seeing Kyon and Itsuki. Or I will ship Hungary and Austria as much as I like Prussia and Austria. It's all a matter of really seeing the relationship in all formats no matter the series.

I ship Kaiba and Anzu. I ship Kaito and Miku. I ship Ulquiorra and Orihime. Revy and Rock, and that my friends is a straight pairing you will NEVER call dul or annoyingl. I ship Yako and Neuro; Randel and Alice; Kittan and Yoko, Nia and Simon... and even Firo and Ennis. I don't see how heterosexual pairings can be dull, tasteless or annoying.

My biggest pet peeve is people saying that heterosexual pairings are cliche and have no substance. I can like my guy on girl as much as my guy on guy AND my girl on girl. I think it means your horizons are that much more open to experiencing what the creator intended from the series, as well as enjoying the pairings you enjoy shipping within, as yaoi.

After all; it's heartbreaking but I'm pretty sure 90% of the pairings fans like aren't canonical, but fan-created.

EDIT: Yes! I do like yaoi! And yes, I respect your ability to pair off whom you like. That is, of course, your own creativity. But I will defend heterosexual pairings just as vehemently as you slash your men. And then some. I'm an even-stevens girl: gay, lesbian, straight-- I'll enjoy it all, because that's my respect for the work the creators' put into their inter-character relations.

...I don't know who you are, but I respect you so much. This is exactly the kind of rant I wish I had the nerve to do.

Basically: this. Seriously... it just bugs me that people will dismiss a pairing for being straight; it's exactly like people go "oh that's gay how can you ship it!?".

c:

You're welcome. I'll admit too-- I've been through the stages: the innocent stage: where yaoi/homosexuality is this new curiosity... the obsessive stage: where I wanted little else to do with female characters.

Finally, I plateaued at a point where I took a look around and said: "How can I be so closed? I'm just like a homophobe, except I'd be a heterophobic hypocrite" -- since saying I hate straight pairings is essentially saying I'd hate any relationship I'd get myself into since I'm a heterosexual woman.

And that's just not fair at all to someone I'd love.

Unfortunately, it's a pet peeve for me. I don't know why, but I just don't like seeing a boy and a girl together at all in anime/manga. X_x I know there might be some good ones, but I guess it's just not my type of thing.  

[User_2629207]

"Seriousness is the refuge of the shallow."

Faberge, Keltena, [T w i r l], I agree with you guys so much. It's no wonder yaoi fans are looked down upon, the way some of us behave (like all the people who hate every female anime character ever...just because they "ruin" their OTPs) is just embarrassing.

Gold stars for you!

[Lady Tsukiko Kuonji]

It depends!

for example- Harry potter, I hate the stupid Malfoy+everybody pairings.

However, I also find it annoying that in Fushigi Yuugi, Nuriko and Hotohori are a must-get-together. I mean, just because ((SPOILER ALERT!)) Nuriko accepts the fact that he's, erm, male, does not mean that by default he must be in love with Miaka now. rolleyes  

[Sieffre]

I like straight pairings as much as I like yaoi and yuri pairings. I even like them within the same fandom - Remus/Tonks makes me glee just as much as Remus/Snape for example. It really just depends on the two people in question.

And I'd never demand that the channel be changed or the movie fast-forwarded though a kiss or sex scene. That's just rude - I'm not the only one watching.  

[Pawn Of Ace - - x]

the memories you painted that time.
now i see the colours you made it.
in order to protect the you who seemed ready to fall apart,
i spread my slightly anxious wings.
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

i don't particularly like straight pairings.
but i respect them at least, like not telling people "ohemgee stright pairings are the worst!!"
okay that's just immature.
and i also don't mind them in fanfics. as long as they are side pairings of course.

 

[x-Yoite-x]

I don't strongly support/fangirl over any straight pairings in the same way that I do yaoi parings, but I'm not totally against them either. There are some that I think could be really cute (like Sango and Miroku in Inuyasha), and others that just annoy me to bits (like Haruhi and Tamaki in Ouran). I guess I'm most annoyed by straight pairings when they get in the way of my slash pairings.  

[XxBlackRosesxX94]

They don't bother too much, Only some of them.

Like for example
Yugioh -Tea/Anzu
Naurto - Saukra (Ino close 2nd)
South park - Wendy
Any FANGIRL

Thoughs girls piss me off. Only the non-bitchy, whiny, annoying girl are okay for non-yaoi pairings

(Like Hinata/Naurto - i don't support them its better then with sakura)
