hmm, well. i have been known to be that open-minded in other fandoms.

and i don't have personal dislike for the guts of otp-breaking shippers in this fandom.

but i'm definitely of a pretty militant otping stripe. they can do whatever they want, but my low opinion of otp-breaking here is probably impervious to pretty much anything. i can't see myself ever granting it any real consideration--i'm completely uninterested as well as unconvinced.

as for your sense, it did sort of dissolve into soup in the middle. i probably lost a couple of sentences' worth. but i think i followed the rest okay, at least. as for emotions, i think it's more like spock's, like, political position--party line on emotions, and what they are, and what you should do with them, is different from the human norm--but i don't think his experience of them is inhuman. i think, in fact, we're given the half-human thing partially to make sure he's still accessible for viewers to identify with.
