Oh yeah, I came across by accident but I did get sucked into all the drama that the fail_fandomanon has going on.
Maybe, but I guess if you offer it, you should be willing to write for it. As long as you can offer something for someone, they match you. For this particular exchange, I think you might've been the only one who wasn't matcheable. Since they do make posts announcing how many people aren't, for most exchanges, it seems like it can be anywhere from 1-5. Rarely is it more than that. And there are always more pinch hits down the line, as people default for whatever reason.
Six weeks is definitely not enough time. If it is only a few episodes/one or two seasons, a movie or a short book, maybe, but it does take a while to watch and then write a story/make art about it.
Like, one hand, I can see why someone might get offended but on the other, like you said, there is no point in wasting time stressing out. Unless it happens in canon, you can't waste time on this. People are going to ship what they want and you can't change anyone's mind. And wow, that seems like a bit much. This is why I only follow a few people I know on any platform in a certain fandom and avoid the rest.
True. I know it was the Harley Quinn show but it is funny how they chose to address it, rather than it was "not age appropriate", them going with "heroes don't do that" is certainly a choice and it is even funnier that they had to clarify after all the jokes/memes came out, and be all "Batman is a generous lover". Lol disasters. And you are right, they probably do.
