Re: Letter 3T1L - Mary Renault book letters

coalie who used the word fetishising: I wasn't referring to shipping as fetishizing, not even old-white-dudes shipping, I too can still enjoy a good bodie/doyle h/c wallow.

(Also if you happen to always ship the blond tops, whatever, you're allowed to have a type. If you insist the blonde always tops to the point that you claim your favorite top is blond even in the face of obvious photographic evidence that they very very clearly aren't, I mocked you in the 90s and I mock you now too.)

But I meant to say that it was that specific style of/era in m/m fics they were fetishizing, not the ships. Or kinking on, if you prefer that language. Or obsessed with. Not just the ships but clinging to being part of that very specific fandom tradition at the expense of everything else. It's like the fandom equivalent of somebody whose whole house is 1970s kitsch down to contents of their bathroom cupboard. And that's not necessarily bad but it's definitely kinktomato.

Ayrt

See, I wouldn't have blinked an eye at "kinking on" or "obsessed with". But "fetishizing" specifically has a connotation that makes it a big red flag IMO.

(Having said that, I just realized that I got it wrong! I like dark haired tops and blond bottoms, oops.)

I'm obsessed with your spelling variation, coalie

I'm deliberately disguizing my spelling so you can't tell where I'm from, coalie.

Or I spent too long in transatlantic fandom and don't notice the difference anymore.
