I am very grateful for Hoechlin. It's almost amusing given he's a noted Christian, which, if you'd think anyone was disturbed by fan's interest in a homosexual pairing it'd be him; instead he's awesome about it.
I myself have some issues with Sterek fandom at large (particularly those who shove the pairing in the PTB/actors faces), but yeah, I don't understand the random backlash against them as a whole for this. It's amazing how weirdly chosey people can be? Like, one minute, we need to push ships because it gives queer representation and the next those who ship slash pairings are suddenly the bane of the earth and the person who said a very problematic statement is praised because he was picked on. Huh?

Sigh.
