On-screen text
EXTREMELY cold take that shouldn't even be considered a take:
Liking queer ships better than straight ships is the exact same as liking vanilla ice cream better than chocolate, both are good in their own ways and some people prefer one over the other. Queer ships are NOT fetish's unless someone fetishizes it themselves.
