Regardless, people can jsut mkae their fanfics why does it have to become canon? But one thing that NEEDS to happen is more scenes with Tyler H and Dylan O'B!!!! They play off each other very well Most fandoms don't have this issue actually. Most slash fandom pairings never expect their ships to become canon. But the way they've used the Ship pisses us off. Especially seeing as this is one of the few shows that the pairing had the potential to become canon. Until we learnt Jeff really does dislike homosexuality on screen. He appears unable to write gay characters meaningfully.

I'm with you on that last bit, do it or don't, but give us their scenes because they've got awesome chemistry. Yes, that is something that should be campaigned more for, more scenes between the two of them! It could be comedica and dramatic gold.

I'm not entirely agreeing with you about the using of the ship in terms of fans, I do feel like they were just pleasantly surprised about the interest of fans in it initially and so were just ...reacting?

But I do agree, Jeff Davis and co.s portrayal of gay characters has not been good. Ethan and Danny should have had some expansion and the only lesbians they had were so one could get killed.

In addition, I do feel a bit put out by the ethnic minority representation. Coming from a South Asian background, I am used to the dearth of said characters, but I don't know...I mean I guess I don't mind if people wanna see brown people they can watch Bollywood but not every brown person likes Bollywood, there are Desis in the West, it would be nice to have just a character here or there that is someone you can root for (and whose existence isn't solely because they're an ethnic minority). So far, only Raj from BBT has been a character that I feel is a satisfactory representation as he is a character of consquence and isn't enitrely a stereotype LOL

I want them to use the Bengali/Sri Lankan mythology of Nagas and Naginis for Season 5, it would be awesome! Snake shapeshifters, they could also use the huge Bengali folk mythology of tiger shapeshifters!
