It’s so easy to simply not look at art or interact with content about ships people aren’t interested in, and yet. Despite radiostatic being my #1 ship, I can see the vision and love the dynamic of Charlastor! Trolls are always going to troll.
Not the sea of Legos 😭 ( you are diabolical, I love it)
It's a mystery for me, why this ship ? I mean why any shis of course because you don't harass people over ships. But what does Charlastor has in particular that seems to transforms people into pearl clutching old ladies ?
Cause it hits all the marks:
"Ace erasure" because Alastor is ace
"Sapphic erasure" because Charlie is canonically with Vaggie
"Incest" because of ep 5
And "problematic age difference" because people forget Charlie is a fucking adult
All of which are stupid asf and I don't even ship Charlastor
Very good explanation, I haven't thought of any of that.
Are people aware Canon and fanwork are two different things ? Fanwork is literally someone's fantasy that caters to their own needs. Why are they making someone else's fantasy about themselves ?
People are not aware of that, no
Everyone either speaks out because they want to feel morally superior, or just think that because they personally find something icky, that thing is Evil
I agree. But even without the rational arguments I still believe it wouldn't be erasure either way because it's literally individual people sharing their fantasies. Representation is good, but it's also not the individual fan's responsibility to give it. That's the entertainment industry's job
This ^
Erasure would be if the show decided to make Vaggie suddenly straight or something, in canon. But as an ace lesbian I could not care less what people ship whether it aligns with the characters' sexualities or not
I agree, I'm aroace and I don't care one bit what people do with their ship with Alastor. You want him to be somewhere on the ace spectrum so he can have sex ? Of course, go right ahead. You want him not to be asexual at all ? No problem, more power to you.
If you want canon, go watch canon.
Oh I am aware that Alastor was just doing it to mess with lucifer. But ppl were still using what happened in deadbeat dad to say that all charlastor shippers are prodhippers even tho it wasn’t actually incest
This goes for anyone who harrasses people over seeing a ship they don’t enjoy ofc!
I’m just specifically mad today about people who harrass artists who draw Charlastor :)
I have ships I don’t like either but you don’t see me attacking anyone over it. Grow up.
Real, I am lately enjoying platonic charlastor but i cant even call it that (i call it radiobelle, the other less popular shipname for the ship) bc people always see red when you mention it.
For all shiphaters, if ya dont like somth just scroll and ignore, its rly easy.
There are quite a few ships that I'm not really a fan of, but like...who cares? It's not for me and brings someone else joy. Why would I waste my time trying to ruin someone else's day?

It's not sapphic erasure because Charlie is bi
To shorten my rant about their manipulation complaint, Charlie knows he has ulterior motives, they're attempting to manipulate EACH OTHER

Man does NOT see Charlie as a potential Daughter figure, sheesh.
But... I also know that's where the alasifur got it's start...
Just shows how much fandom hates women.
(then there's that, too, despite Charlie being Bi)
