Thoughts on Foeyay

I ship foeyay.

Which of course gets some fans going "Buh, they hate each other, don't they? Why are you shipping them?"

Because at every rivalry is a sick twisted obsession. Holmes/Moriarty. Dr. Horrible/Captain Hammer. The list goes on. But to the fans who "But they hate each other", they assume that because that if you ship them, that you must ship them the way everyone else does for every pairing ever, all lovey-dovey, gooey-sweet.

Clearly they've never heard of hate sex or the fact that just because you have sex with someone doesn't mean you love that person.

Just because a character has sex with another character doesn't mean they love that character and are now going to marry them. It just means they had sex with them.

I'm tired of that being used against me and others.

"But they hate each other, why are they having sex."

They didn't say "I love you." They aren't picking out china and I'm pretty sure the bad guy isn't stopping his life of crime and they still hate each other.

They just had sex.

Sex is an action. Love is an emotion or to be more specific, a chemical reaction. They're not the same. It is possible to bang someone and never love them, just as it is possible to love someone and never have sex with them.
