bro/dirk is off in the incest corner of the fandom no one really bothers.
dirk's a gay kid who actively pursued the assumed straight jake who had a lot of other love interests. which the fandom was mostly cool with untilllll it became canon. and then they basically nitpicked this ship to death and were super hung up on dirk (the openly gay kid that made the first move) as a horrible controlling abuser. and the writer kept giving a lot of (mmmmmostly positive) attention to this ship even after they broke up so fandom exploded with a new wave of essays about how problematic it was every time there was an update. IT WAS SO EXHAUSTING.
