Augh! Can't Some People See That Not Everyone Will Agree With Them?

I'm just venting over something on fanficrants...

No matter how anyone sees a character, someone else will disagree with them.

Why is it so hard to understand that?

No matter how straight one may see Cid Highwind as being, someone (quite a few someones for that matter, given how popular Valenwind still remains, even in the face of canon Cid/Shera) will refuse to accept that he is totally absolutely straight and will still slash him with Vincent.

As far as I am conserned, it's not about Cid, or his presumed orientation, it's that people will always slash characters, no matter how much of a "redblooded bloke" that character may be.


Fine, Cid's straight. He had a woman in a bikini painted on the side of the Highwind. He's canonically married. He's a typical red-blooded male. But that will never stop people from slashing him.

Yes! I believe Cid is straight. I believe Sephiroth is irredeemable. I believe Cloud will eventually settle down with Tifa.

These are my canon beliefs, but I don't have to like them, or read those them, because I can suspend my disbelief in favour of other directions that I prefer better - direction that I acknowledge are less canonically possible.
