• 2019, anonymous, quoted in Ebony Elizabeth Thomas, The Dark Fantastic: Race and the Imagination from Harry Potter to the Hunger Games, page 99:

  The way that femslashers are treated in this fandom is disgusting. As a het shipper, I hate to see my femslasher friends getting constant homophobic hatemail from Arwen fans & being condescended by Merthur shippers who think that shipping a M/M pairing qualifies them to tell actual LGBT people how to behave & think, & what they should & shouldn't be offended by.
