A bunch of people are talking about their first experiences with antis, and it's always Voltron or Gravity Falls or Osomatsu-san, which is weird because I never see anyone talking about MadoHomu antis.
I mean, I know WHY, it's because the Tumblr fandom basically died around six months after Rebellion came out, but it's weird that I never see anyone talking about it, because it's a perfect example of how Tumblr treats F/F ships; flattening them until they're nothing but "uwu pure lesbians", ignoring every single aspect of Homura's character that might paint the ship in a less than perfect light, because honestly, that's the kind of thing that could be swept under the rug by a fandom.
As long as you're only looking at the original series, that is.
After Rebellion came out, the more possessive and obsessive aspects of Homura's character couldn't be downplayed in the same way that they were used to, and fans fucking turned on the ship. Meta upon meta upon meta about how not only was the way the ship was portrayed in canon an abusive relationship, but this was the first time I really saw the "If you ship this, you support REAL LIFE ABUSE" argument in full force.
