Nobody nominated the women in The Nevers?

NA with no horse in this race but I always get a kick out of fandoms where the slash fans show up to get in their rare ships and the femslash fans clearly don’t care about it. It’s never the reverse where a femslash fan is the only one cares about a mainly slashy movie and I don’t know why.

DC

IIRC the m/m is also canon, while the female characters, though they are the leads and spend a lot of time together, are straight and involved with men.

And fandom always follows canon, sure.

I mean you're in a thread asking about canon gay?

...a kick? Why?

A lot of people I know got put off by Whedon.

da

I can't speak for the slash/femslash discrepancy, but I fully intend to finish watching the show. Uh, someday. When I have time to binge the whole thing on one month's worth of subscription. Sometime. But I also have other things to watch for femslash where there isn't tedious het, or less of it.

This is the answer. A lot of people probably did watch or will watch but aren’t fannish. Those who like canon mlm prioritized watching it and somebody liked it enough to nom. The canon/fanon wlw fans didn’t bother prioritizing because it is a show for het and mlm fans. Of course a mlm fan is going to like it enough to nominate while someone who likes wlw isn’t going to bother.

Kicking up a fuss that people like gay stuff over implied lesbian or canon het feels like ‘anything with women is inherently progressive’ eat your vegetables bullshit. Shipping isn’t activism.

I don't think it's vegetables/shipping-as-activism, nonnie, it's reasonable to wonder why a femslashy show had only some side m/m nominated.
