This is why I rarely even want to look at comments on Twitter because, honestly, it's pretty frustrating hearing the accusatory tone that's coming from some of the people writing on there that if Merida is paired with either Mulan or Ruby, it'll be a token LGBT relationship. What?? That episode hasn't even aired yet and people are complaining. The Twitter comments were frustrating to read. That's why I usually try to stay away from the SwanQueen fandom, most people there are very hardcore shippers and get angry about anything. I'm not trying to start a ship war or anything (I actually ship SwanQueen myself and have good friends who do), I'm just saying that RedWarrior (or BraveWolf or BraveWarrior, we'll have to see) has nothing to do with SwanQueen and I'd appreciate it if people understood that. I am not against shipping at all, but I just don't find certain ship-based Twitter comments in response to the Ruby-Mulan-Merida photo to be constructive at all. Literally people just commenting like, "We want SwanQueen" or "SwanQueen" is ridiculous because it gives the impression they're rallying around a specific couple/pairing without expressing deeper notions about what exactly they desire from the show in regards to a LGBT couple. How about writing, "I don't agree with Merida being a couple w/ either Ruby and Mulan or Ruby w/ Mulan, but I'm a strong supporter of SwanQueen". It just doesn't seem like a conversation when people throw about shipnames on Twitter and there's no meaningful conversation going on.
