They are actresses. Fan service is part of the job and part of the entertainment industry. If you see them kissing, cuddling, acting flirty on livestreams, fan meetings, and events, or even call themselves ‘girlfriends’ don’t automatically take it as proof that they’re together in real life. Enjoy the chemistry and fan service as entertainment, but don’t assume intimacy equals a real relationship.
I honestly don’t get why people need actresses to confirm if they have boyfriends or girlfriends just to validate a ship. Actors themselves do not owe audiences a matching real-life identity. They are playing characters, and actresses are not obligated to be gay just because they play gay characters.
For me, fictional characters can provide representation, but I don’t think actresses themselves should automatically be treated as representation. Some actresses may openly say they’re bi or whatever, and that’s their personal life, but I still think there are better public figures to look up to if you want real-life representation.
At the end of the day, just enjoy the series, enjoy the ship, enjoy the fan service, but don’t demand actresses “prove” their sexuality or relationship status, and don’t build personal emotional stability around celebrity ships. It’s entertainment, not your real life.
It was supposed to be a quote to some tweet, but the person set their account to private. 🥲 And also it’s not an attack on anyone, just my honest opinion and take on this matter, you’re free to disagree or agree.
