Ok,i have a question for the proships, please don't take this as a attack
I believe that people have the right to like or dislike anything, that being said:
If i don't like a character or a ship for any reason, It wouldn't be a good idea for me to use a "antithischaracter" or "antithisship" tags to find other people who don't like them either.
Are you guys against these types of tags or just against the harassment?
imagine watching this silly firefighter show for literal YEARS and feeling delusional about shipping these two men despite the several relationships with women that they’ve had and being force fed doubt everywhere and then when the show is on the brink of cancellation it gets picked up on a new network and in a matter of literally only four episodes BOOM CANON BISEXUAL!! BOOM ONE OF THEM KISSES A MAN!! BOOM THE SHIP IS MOST LIKELY GONNA BE MOVING IN TOGETHER!! tell any of this to me even just a year ago and i’d actually fight you on account of getting my hopes up like that
I don’t know what this trope is but I’m starting to love it

When I say "this character is my favourite" what I am really saying is "this character is easiest to project homosexuality and autism on to"
I'm tired of seeing the word grooming taken out and used all the time by people who probably don't understand its definition.
For the record, Christine was in her twenties, when she met the Phantom / Erik. She was a fucking adult, in a society that for the time considered her a spinster. She never turned 15 or 16 in the original story, as people are so fond of claiming.
Also, Erik is not a villain but an anti-hero character. I'm tired of seeing him constantly demonize, like he's just a bad guy, when he doesn't.
Erik and Christine are basically twisted versions of Beauty and the Beast, Hades and Persephone, and Romeo and Juliet. Without forgetting that they are also, among other things, the incarnation of death and the maiden.
Erik also symbolizes Christine's sexual awakening and coming of age.
Whether you like it or not, they have a romantic and sexual connection in the original text.
“will isn’t perfect, he was mean to-“

Little late but
You can tell by the reaction people have to Penelope asking Colin to kiss her whether they ever experienced being a wallflower/insecure fat girl at a party or not.
Because you say it's pathetic, I say it's relatable, no matter how desperate it may sound. If you've never had your insecurity eat you up from the inside (but also the outside, as Portia literally told Penelope that she was delusional for thinking she was gonna find a husband in her third season out) to the point you genuinely, wholeheartedly believe no one will ever love you unless you physically change, then obviously the scene is off to you.
But Pen literally told Colin she felt stupid for thinking she's gonna find a husband (she just started believing what the ton and her mother said) and that she knows no one would want to kiss her. And for a romance girl like her, do you think the thought of never having a kiss, never experiencing that passion, would be easy to bear? I can so relate to being the most romantic of the bunch but also being the loneliest and aching for physical and emotional romantic love.
She is so vulnerable and so real in that moment but y'all gotta bitch about it because it doesn't make sense to you. It doesn't make sense to me either because she's gorgeous, but that's the thing - no one ever told her she's gorgeous and actually meant it. And even if they did, there must be 10 more people who didn't that keep that insecurity in her, specifically her sisters and her mother.
Nicola said this one was for the wallflowers, and it truly is, so if you find scenes like this cringe, you just don't relate to the character enough to feel it and recall moments when you had the same thoughts as her.
