'Teen Wolf': Tyler Posey Talks Sterek Gay Romance

[@Catsmaggie]

Hoechlin is so politically correct and he is so careful to not offend anyone. I love him so much.

[@Ephesians2.8.]

Right?! He's awesome

[@pumpkinpooch16]

He's a pussy

[@Catsmaggie]

No Please! No, He just has a brain.

[@pumpkinpooch16]

Sorry that was a typo (I meant to write "Princess"

[@SoroOrenji]

I'm a part of the LGBT community being a pre-OP transmale bisexual myself, but it was the way you phrased it that made it seem like we're all sexual predators. I get that kind of humour, I do, like how I call my female friends bitches to take back the demeaning term. Of course, I didn't mean to offend you if in any way you were, but its not exactly the same in every perspective, as I just explained.

[@ughkook]

I think Tyler is wrong, the reason WHY I began watching Teen Wolf was BECAUSE of Sterek then I fell in love with the show as a whole and Stiles.

[@hyg_jm]

same here.

Lol kpop lovers and their ships

[@OfTheiAm]

babysuga i think tyler hit the nail on the head, a literal relationship between stiles and derek is weird, the age difference, there both there own person , there in a whole different genre and so far from THAT, its a weird twisted part of fandom thats hard to understand.

[@AngelusHale]

STEREK FANS; this is for you guys. There is support for Sterek in the cast, this was Posey is opinion and he has the right to voice it. Let's respect it. "i knew that derek and stiles were just magic." -jeff davis [x] - "when you see certain things working, you write towards them, and we definitely did that. we actually started out, in the writer’s room, with a heading that said "great pairings", and at the top of that was derek and stiles." -jeff davis [x] - "they would’ve gone bonkers for the scene that i had originally planned. you can print this. the idea was stiles paralyzed on top of derek, and stiles says to derek, ‘wait a minute! i can still move my tongue.’ so the scene would have been stiles pushing his tongue against derek’s face, trying to get himself off using just his tongue." "eventually, the tongue ends up in derek’s ear and derek’s saying, ‘stop! just stop. just stop.’ dylan loved the idea when i pitched it to him." -jeff davis [x] - "what can i say, i’m a fan of great tv…and a sterek pairing would be legendary. ps. i’m working on my fanfic as we speak." -greg berlanti (co-creator and writer of cw’s “arrow”) [x] - "well, they do have undeniable chemistry." -jeff davis [x] - "i’m a sterek fan. it’s just too great not to be." -holland roden [x] "the derek and stiles relationship, to me, is one of my favorites on the show to play, just because it is such a contrast in their characters. i mean, they are the complete opposites. so i think anytime you have those kinds of characters interacting with each other, it’s always a really fun thing to explore. i know that every time i see a script with a derek and stiles moment, we always get excited about whatever day we’re going to be shooting that.” -tyler hoechlin [x] - "dude, that ship sails itself. don’t need my help!" -adelaide kane (when asked if she ships sterek). [x] - "sterek is eternal." -max carver [x] - "i do. i want them to get together." -daniel sharman (about sterek) [x] - "they’re like ross and rachel. they end up together."-holland roden [x] - "there are a lot of scenes between derek and stiles that i find utterly amazing. cause they do have a really great relationship." -crystal reed [x] "since the beginning, it’s always been the same with them. like, they’ve been brought together just by the circumstances that they’ve fallen into. but i think over the course of season one, they’ve grown to care about each other." -dylan o’brien [x] - "derek and stiles have a lot of fun together. i think you guys all can see the dynamic." -tyler hoechlin [x] - "dylan and i have gone to jeff with an idea for a scene, and i don’t wanna say what it is, because it might still be used hopefully. cause i really do think that it would be a really fun scene. and it’s a really great, touching scene." -tyler hoechlin [x] - "but i had an idea for jeff, that when we do finally meet, and if it’s a scene that’s very expositional-like if we come together and something’s going on, and we have to converge and discuss something-then we should kind of stop at the end of it and before we walk away, stiles should just say, ‘i missed you’.”-dylan o’brien [x] - "what’s misunderstood [among these fans] is that tyler and i don’t like it or something, but that’s not true." -dylan o’brien (about sterek) [x] "i think the stiles and derek relationship, in the same way that derek has come to trust scott a little more, i think derek has come to giving stiles a little bit more credit for what he’s been able to contribute, all of the things that they’ve gone through, and how instrumental he’s been. you’ll probably see a lot more concern from derek than you would have in the first two or three seasons where he would have been like, ‘just kill him…because i don’t like him anyway…and it’s an easy reason to get him out of here.’ i think you’ll actually see a little bit more concern and care from derek." -tyler hoechlin [x] - "not only am i surprised by the popularity of sterek, but i have to say i’m overwhelmed by the tenacity and passion that it obviously required to win." -jeff davis (after sterek won the backlot’s first slash-ship tournament) [x] - "teen wolf fans, in general, are superfans. but the stereks are no doubt the alphas of the fandom." -jeff davis [x] - "sterek all the way." -dylan o’brien [x] Have a nice day :)

I just think Posey is angry because now Stiles and Sterek are the main "thing" in the show, he's not the center of attention anymore

[@vicpantoja22]

Of course he is angry, he is supposed to be the main character but people just shove the attention over to the next white guy on the show

[@vladdpinedo]

Victoria Pantoja I really like Posey and his acting, but he shouldn't attack directly a big part of the whole Teen Wolf Fandom, cause most of the people ship sterek

[@joecoolio6303]

Lol he can blame jeff for how his character is written, and also stop with this white male stuff because it's getting disgusting.

[@goldtintedspecs]

***** IDK if he's attacking - he's just saying he dislikes the idea of people watching the show just for the Sterek and ignoring everything else. I'm a Sterek shipper and I agree with this - the show is about a lot more than Sterek. That wouldn't hold my attention for long. Shows usually are about more than a ship.

[@lulu_Lm]

you're an idiot, they are playing CHARACTERS on the show....aka not real. It's Pathetic how people spend soo much time shipping this and that, when you are suppose to be enjoying the show. Looking for someone to blame, blame the producers not Tyler. In season 1, 2 and first half of season 3, he was the main character, but now instead of having a best friend who does nothing, he is the focus for part 2 of season 3.

[@PrayingMoth]

I'd rather watch it for a ship than straight cliché...

[@akeiltheseal]

But the OTP never happened, plus there are gay moments so...

[@maria-vn5pk]

@Liza Johnson i don't care if a couple is straight or gay that's not the problem for me, but what he said was true their romance was VERY cliché

[@adrianoines521]

@Liza Johnson no the straights on this show were just really cliche a lot of the time. the only relationship that wasnt hella cliche was stalia and nobody even ships them.

[@EmperorTChalla]

Acting 101. Never bite the hand that feeds you. Will Smith said it best on Jimmy Fallon last night and I'll paraphrase "Your job as an actor is to make sure your fans/viewers have a great time and it's not about your ego or about your negative attitude"

[@EllesarOf2Evils]

The type of Sterek fan who gets upset over the fact that Posey is not on board with this particular ship were never the 'hands that feed him'. They are the ones who derided Scott and Posey from the start. They are the ones who wrote him out of their Sterek fics and shopped him out of photos. The ones who wrote Scott as a bad person, or stupid, and dissed Posey as an actor. So no, I don't think answering honestly rather than pandering to a specialized fraction of the audience is going to effect his career. Its not like Sterek fans are the ones who follow and support his career, his charity work, or his morale.

[@LoungingPotato]

EllesarOf2Evils Can we stop saying how the ENTIRE Sterek fandom is like this? I absolutely adore Tyler Posey and Scott McCall. I loathe that we get so much hate. Look at when the roles are reversed with Scallison. People go crazy for that ship. Is it because it's canon that makes it different? I just don't understand. Not all of us harass people. Hell, I even ship Stydia still. It's generalizing an entire group of people that I don't like. We're individuals and shouldn't be judged by those who force anything onto anybody. There are people who do that with Scallison and people who do it with Stydia, but nobody EVER calls them out on it. Why is that?

[@lucvalor]

@@LoungingPotato Exactly! I’m not even a Sterek shipper (read several fics - so many actually - seen a lot of clips and I totally understand) and I am outraged by the hate towards the Sterek fandom. Sterek got the show so much more fame and attention. People are even more crazy over Scallison, when Scott betrays his best friend of forever, Stiles, for Allison when they’re not even dating, and Allison has this psycho phase everyone seems to overlook, but everyone seems to think it’s OK because...it’s canon? I’m still not sure why.

[@krishnadiaz7707]

@@lucvalor stiles igual traiciona a scott, pero hay no dicen nada

[@Amy-mw1zl]

Okay so Posey pissed me off here. Even IF Sterek shippers are just watching it for Sterek, they're still watching it! The first thing I EVER watched about Teen Wolf was a Sterek video, and now I love Teen Wolf and the ship even more. Sure, gay couples wasn't what TW was intended to be about, but you can't say someone is watching a show for a wrong reason, and to call it sick and twisted? I have half a mind to stop watching the show. Honestly, Stiles, Derek and Malia are the only things keeping me watching it at this point. I hated Scott. But Posey isn't being homophobic- have you seen the way he and Dylan act when they're together?

[@tardis301192]

I totally agree with you, I read fanfics not because I want it to happen but because a lot of them are actually well written etc etc, so I read Destiel and that linked me to a Sterek which I read and enjoyed and it made me wonder about how the characters REALLY were, so I watched the show and became a fan though I haven't watched it since like the first couple episodes of the dread doctors episodes :/ I agree that he isn't being homophobic but how he worded his answer and using the adjectives he did has probably upset and hurt a lot of people who were his fans and fans of the show and he has kinda alienated those fans who do enjoy fanfiction especially Sterek.

[@farisaeed9114]

I'm agreed cause i admire the role of Derek and stilles i think Derek is the main character and it's his story

[@aimee7621]

ME HAHAHA I SAW CLIPS OF STEREK AND THAT IS GENUINELY WHAT MADE ME WATCH TEEN WOLF

[@mayaflucus903]

I love Tyler with all my heart and I think that hes one of the most adorable things in the world, but what he said here just kinda made me doubt that. Sterek clips were the things that got me into teen wolf. and now i love it and ship sterek everytime they're even in the same room together. why hes being a dick here when hes usually so sweet everywhere else im not sure

[@little7redify]

I didn't know about Sterek or Sterek shippers at all before I watched this show I watched with no idea about it or what's in it and from literally the second episode of season one I saw the chemistry between Stiles and Derek, and at the time there wasn't many gay couples in teen shows so I doubted either of them was gay so I thought to myself.. this is the kind of thing where if one of them was a girl we'd immediately know those two are gonna end up together because of the way they are acting together. Then I started shipping them more and more then when I finished binge watching the first season I had to go to the internet and look up stuff about teen wolf and I was surprised to see that everyone else ships Sterek lmao. And after a while I told my friends to watch the show and I've mentioned to them that there is a gay couple but I was talking about Ethan and Danny. But all my friends watched the first few episodes of the show and thought Derek and Stiles are gonna be said gay couple. So Tyler Posey is literally the only one who doesn't see it and thinks it's bizarre and twisted. If anything, Sterek not being endgame IS what's bizarre but you know, Stydia shippers gotta get what they want.

[@heyitsdarcyx6928]

Tyler was a bit harsh taking about people saying stuff about sterek😲

[@ayamemitsuki7261]

Sterek actually got me into teen Wolf. So Tyler doesn't HAVE to ship it. Of course not. But saying fans are watching the show for the wrong reasons was kind of careless. Fandoms and Ships are very powerful so I think a good majority of Teen Wolf's viewing is thanks to Sterek and I've seen comments here with a lot of people saying they watched a Sterek video and then started watching teen Wolf. But people shouldn't be mad because he doesn't ship it he just needs to be a little less careless with one or two things he says

[@gisellemartinez1324]

Ayame Mitsuki preach 👌🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼

[@Maisie.Meehan]

i agree- having his own opinion is totally fine, but he expresses it in a pretty bitter and aggresive way. Especially after he just went on about how he loved Scott and Kira's relationship and wants them to go on for a long time; it kind of brings off this "MY plot is meant to be the highlight and I don't like that people prefer this non-canon one" attitude.

[@sup4744]

What he said was pretty much true. It does suck when all your talent is dismissed just because you are shipped with a hot guy

[@ladylegasis621]

Actually me too, the only reason I even thought about watching teen wolf was sterek, i saw edits on KZbin and was very interested on seeing the dynamic of stiles and derek in the show

[@watev26789]

First of all you can't imagine how many viewers you gained because of Sterek. I didn't even know that the show existed.And I'm not the only one. Secondly, it is not wrong and twisted. There are so many people who ship them. why? because they obviously have a chemistry and it is visible to everyone. Lastly I would like to say that there are no right or wrong reasons to watch a show. You watch a show cause of things like Sterek,because you're bored,because you want to,because someone told you. Come on Tyler don't make me hate you just because you obviously want more attention. we already see your face 38 out of the 40 minutes I mean a bit of Sterek wouldn't harm.

Stiles has definitely shown interest in men.. and since the show started the cast has basically been encouraging us to ship Sterek. So they shouldn't be surprised that we STILL ship them..

[@jamariwaldron8595]

kroberts1515 Jeff and the cast didn't even know about Sterek shipping until after season 2 was made it was by luck

[@TheRookieRuns]

I watch Teen Wolf and did not even know the concept Sterek untill season 2. But already some of the first episodes I really liked the relationship between Derek and Stiles. Then I realized that there was a thing called Sterek and I loved it. They ARE my OTP. BUT! What Posey just said about it, well, people watch the show for different reasons, by saying "if people are watching the show because of Sterek, they are watching it for the wrong reason" he is also saying "any other reason than my reason is wrong". Some girls watch it because of the hot guys, others are watching it because of the theme "werewolf", you cannot really say that there is a wrong reason for watching a tv show. You watch it because you either have to, like to, love it, hate it, nothing better is on the screen etc. By saying there is a wrong way, Posey just created a crew of haters, not only Sterek-lovers, but also others.

[@CJPDeQueen]

Completely agree with everything you said and how you came to love Sterek because it's the way it happened for me too. And not only did Posey inflame the already difficult situation even more between the Sterek/TW fans and the non/anti sterek/TW fans he has now validated what the haters are thinking and believing and making them feel self righteous in their thoughts and opinions. Such a shame.

[@jomoody798]

I haven't even seen Teen Wolf and I fell in love with Sterek because you get a little sick of seeing straight romances in teen shows, not that there's anything wrong with that. I quite enjoy Sterek because it's just DIFFERENT from all these male/female romances. I don't think it'd be as big of a thing if people actually wrote gay romances into these kinds of TV shows. If people are restoring to their imaginations to find satisfaction in media character portrayals than you should be happy instead of having thousands of viewers standing up in unison and leaving because they're so god damn sick of straight couples. On the bright side, I'm not watching for the wrong reasons because I'm not watching at all. I was even considering binge watching before I figured out Tyler Posey felt this way. Then again, is there a right reason to watch Teen Wolf? What is that right reason? Maybe give a right reason before deciding if something is a bad reason.

[@nisaahh]

THERE’S ALSO AN ASEXUAL MALE yay there’s a gay relationship in it. of course, that’s not the main focus of the series, so if you’re looking for a show with a focal point of an lgbt+ relationship, Shadowhunters isn’t the show for you Shadowhunters is similar to Teen Wolf in its some ways, so if you’ve binged Teen Wolf and you want another supernatural series, bam here’s Shadowhunters

Okay like this really pisses me off. Why the hell would he say that? I mean seriously. Imo it shouldn’t matter why people watch the show. As long as it’s being watched. And since shipping became a thing, people watch shows specifically for that. I for one am a hardcore Sterek shipper and idc what posey says. I believe a lot people watch shows just for shipping but then fall in with the show and other characters as well. I mean hell thats how I got into Glee, by Klaine.

[@AngelusHale]

Don't take it like that. Posey acts and speaks a lot of the time without thinking - he assumes that all of us Sterek fans are like that but that's of course not true. I don't think you realise what Sterek fans did to get that kind of reaction out of Posey. They constantly harrassed Dylan and Hoechlin, sending weird drawings and stories to them and they send death threats to the writers so that Sterek wil happen. They went completly bananas. In the beginning the actors loved the Sterek thing, but it got so out of control that now they just don't wanne deal with it anymore. You can see that the other actors handle it a lot better than Posey But yeah, Sterek freaks ruined it for everybody. It's a sad thing cause I love Sterek.

[@Ame-zv5lj]

Seriously, we watch for the thrill of wondering what happens next. Along the way, of course we think people could get together as we see plausible, but saying we watch it solely for Sterek is complete BS. And the fact that he used "twisted" I find that insulting to the gay community. It's not twisted, it's called having a different view point as others. It's how you view a person's relationship/interaction with another. Seriously........ what he said was rude.......

I love Sterek, but not in a fetish way, I just love Dylan/Stiles and Tyler/Derek scenes together, they are so funny and I love them so much. plus I guess there is not a right reason to watch a show if you deeply love it. i started watching Teen Wolf because I saw the promo on Tv before the beginning of the first season and i totally loved it :)

[@RavenStillBeguiling]

Go check out the Sterek tag on tumblr and tell me people aren't watching a different show. One where Derek and Stiles' whole life purpose has been to protect one another because they are so ~in love~. They even think Stiles locks himself up next week because he doesn't want to hurt Derek...even though what he actually says in the preview is he doesn't want to hurt Scott. When you twist things, flat out make up shit, and change characters personalities/motivations to suit your agenda, yes you are watching something else.

[@teamtoomany4820]

[@LunaArgentum10]

RavenStillBeguiling AU is inherent in fanfiction....it happens in every show, movie, and book that people write fanfiction about. Fanfiction is a large, multi-layered, many faceted beast of a thing. It comes in art, in short stories, in youtube videos, and in many other forms. Some people will delve deep into it, others will barely touch the surface of it, and still others will be in between. My point is that Fanficiton (as with most things in life) is a spectrum. And with that you get the nice people, the crazy people, and the in between people. Hate on the crazy people if you want because apparently they have been hating on Posey and others, but don't dump on everyone because of their actions. That's just like when LGBT say all Christians are assholes. No they aren't. The homophobic, outspoken Christians can be assholes, but not all Christians are. Just like not all gay men are flamboyant. Not all lesbians are butch. Not all pitbulls attack people. Generalizing can be useful, but when we do it to groups in order to justify hate and insult it is no longer ok.

[@pigsnot1]

I would want sterek because I'm almost certain that if sterek were canon, the two would turn each other into completely unexpected but awesome characters because of their completely contrasting personalities. It would make an extremely interesting story to see this transition. In derek it might make him more open and trusting while with stiles, it might make him more independent. And lets face some facts, at least one of these two characters will have to get in a relationship at some point (most likely stiles) and it will result in a really sloppy, badly written love story simply because there are no more characters that either of them can really be with. And I dunno about you, but id much rather see a relationship come up between two main characters that have been around from the start and whos character we know, rather than introducing a whole new character just for the sake of them being either stiles' or dereks love interest

[@kmuffett]

Tyler Posey is totally entitled to his own opinion but buddy needs to be taught not to insult fans, regardless of if he thinks they're watching the show for the "right reasons". Get over yourself kid, this isn't like people watching Schindler's list but only paying attention to their fave ship. This is a campy sci fi show on MTV. If certain fans can only enjoy one ship out of it then maybe it's because those fans are women or PoC's and there's not much else on the show for them to enjoy. Or because people can choose to focus on whatever they want out of TV without a twenty-something rich actor telling them they're wrong. Holland Roden looked super uncomfortable with his response, and Tyler Hoechlin basically saved that interview from going super uncomfortable. I've never heard Hoechlin tell fans how they should watch the show, in fact I've never heard him be anything but appreciative of people who watch his work. And that is why people can be justifiably side-eyeing Posey. He can think what he wants about ships and fans, but not when a camera is on him. That's not classy.

We have the right to ship whatever the hell we want. And for those calling us delusional, shut your goddamn faces because Sterek was powerful enough to make it as a topic on conferences and interviews and Sterek shippers were the ones to make Teen Wolf famous against Destiel on the poll for best ship or whatever it was. I have never disrespected anybody else's ships. And I will not allow people to bully me or any other Sterek shipper calling us delusional and other stuff.

[@rotisepan]

did you watch wolf watch and after after show? because i think bizarre and weird seems are the words that posey oftenly (is that even a word?) used recently

[@aleetimes3]

No though I'm not saying posey is a bad guy I just think he can express his distaste for sterek in other words.

[@rotisepan]

Ariel Lee yeah! he's like using the wrong words because he used to it, i guess

[@flutterbyedreams5188]

Ariel Lee I think that maybe he was trying to say that the show is supposed to be about teen wolves (aka him) then the fan made but popular "sterek"

[@AmyCobalto]

So recap: 1. There is no right way to watch a show. Like, sorry guys, the myth of the "true fan" is just a myth. Don't bash the hand that feeds you buddy. 2. Outside of shipping, main characters getting upstaged by supporting characters happens EVERYTIME and EVERYWHERE. Tyler is, in my opinion, vital to the show. But him feeling like he's not doesn't justify all of his actions. 3. Tyler saying those things doesn't mean he's homophobic. Of course not. But it's an unfortunate choice of words, as "twisted" and "weird" are frequently used to bash queer people on a regular basis. 4. Just because some shippers may be rude, doesn’t mean they are all rude. There are morons everywhere. In any collective, only the ones who stand out get noticed and in this kind of environment, sadly, the ones standing out are generally the trolls and the oblivious delusional stalking fans. 5. Tyler saying something offensive doesn’t make him a bad guy. We all know he's adorkable. That it?

[@melissay354]

people are really trying to say that sterek never had any chemistry, that there's nothing there? get real people, sterek is one of the most popular ships on any show, let alone just teen wolf. it's won multiple ship competitions with thousands of votes, that kind of thing doesn't come from a ship that has no substance to it. and the stuff about ignoring dethan is mostly bullshit. maybe some people do it, but most sterek shippers are happy to see some representation in the show, even if it's not in the areas we want it, it's still great.

[@Chocobear555]

There *is* nothing there, except for what's in Sterek shippers' imaginations. Stiles and Derek are frenemies, at best. They're not 100% friends, but they're not 100% enemies either. You guys would realize that if you weren't so busy reading into every little thing that Stiles and Derek do when they're around each other. Tell me: Just what, exactly, do you believe is evidence of Stiles and Derek's attraction to each other? What tells you that there's "something there"? Because I can't, for the life of me, even come *close* to understanding why Sterek shippers are convinced that Derek and Stiles are secretly interested in each other.

[@joecoolio6303]

Why do you even care?

[@qaz09876543211]

***** Stiles isn't straight it has been implied many times that he is Bisexual. And we have no clue if Derek likes guys. All we have seen are interactions with women but that doesn't mean he is, for sure, straight.

[@kingsleya23]

qaz09876543211 theres only one example where stiles is asked about his sexuality at a party, and he falters it was a ploy for sterek idiots, the writers are teasing you. Up until this season it was obvious stiles like lydia, its even implied now.

[@kingsleya23]

Did you just say it won a ship competition? one thats made by fans? LOL omg hahhaha. You do realize that gives no validity as to it happening its just your imagination kid.

[@Earthstar444]

someone's feeling satly

[@thegnomecleric]

I agree with him. He wasn't trying to say that he dislikes gay relationships, what he's saying is that he dislikes the idea of Sterek because, in all honesty, it just doesn't make sense. Both characters have no interest in men, both characters barely even like each other. And what made people immediately start shipping them was that in one episode Derek basically assaulted Stiles and threatened him against a door. How is that 'tension' how is that 'lust', how???? Stop hating on him, he's done nothing wrong other than giving his opinion, which, shock horror, he's actually allowed to do.

[@Momo_Minomo]

I wouldn't say neither character has an interest in men since they've put a lot of effort in making Stiles appear bi-curious if nothing else and just because we've only seen Derek with women doesn't mean he could never be attracted to a man. I think what people are shocked at is Posey's vehemence, here. It sounded like he said if you are a fan of their chemistry (and even you don't see it a lot of people do) you're not watching the show "the right way". I was kinda disappointed in Posey for that but I'm not gonna rage.

[@thegnomecleric]

There's never really been mention of Stiles's bi-curiosity, in my opinion (that's just my opinion please don't get offended). And I feel like if they were going to go down that route or at least have it there as a possibility for Derek, they would have mentioned it and laid the foundation down a long time ago, but they haven't. I think people forget that actors are human and are as affected by other people's words as any other person. The amount of hatred being directed at Posey just now is absolutely disgusting. And to be honest, if he'd said it any other way, he'd have still gotten hate because that's just the way the fandom is and it's ridiculous. I once saw a post, for example, on tumblr that said 'if you don't ship Sterek then you're homophobic' which is totally barbaric. That'd would be like saying 'If you don't ship Stiles and Lydia then you're hetrophobic' like, come on. What Tyler's saying is that 'you should watch the show for the storyline and for what's happening to the characters, not for the possibility of a ship'

[@Momo_Minomo]

Lexi Bird I agree people are waaaay overreacting to Posey's comment and to rage, insult, and threaten an actor is wrong no matter the reason. Even if he had said something homophobic (and he didn't) I would disapprove of this bullying fans are doing. Like I said, it was the vehemence that kind of shocked me but I'm not angry or anything. Hoechlin and O'Brien have both mentioned that they see the chemistry and potential of sterek and would have fun with it if the show went that way. Whether that will happen is up to the writers, though and I'll enjoy the show and privately ship sterek either way. As for Stiles' bi-curiosity, straight teenage boys don't typically go around asking if gay men find them attractive. He also sort of hinted to his dad outside of jungle. He could have just said they were there to support Danny but instead he hints he may like men. Besides, Jeff Davis has also made comments that Stiles MIGHT be bi. He's not really committed either way. As for laying groundwork, other shows have made the decision of putting a character in a gay relationship with no warning or groundwork before. Willow Rosenburg, anyone?

[@tuck295q]

I thought that twisted, weird, bizarre thing in Sterek is like a minor thing in the show that's really entertaining. It really does give to show that comedic element to the series and it's a good thing. Trust me Posey, if people just gonna watch the show just for that fetish, might as well just go watch gay porn or something. There are plenty. And hey, creating relationships between characters has a huge impact of making people care for them, which makes audience feel captivating to the show and story with excitement of wanting to finish the show even more. I really don't understand what's so wrong about it. For me, the show gets really interesting with kitsune. Most westerners would definitely go for vampire instead of a freaking nine tail fox. And it's simply ingenious to put a type of shapeshifter that has relationship with wolves instead. In all seriousness, thanks to Sterek that plays quite a huge part in keeping the show just above the water because the first 2 season barely have any contents. Most of which are like a set up until this season. If you don't want to have the audience to watch the series for porn, sexy material, then you have to make the stories that sell to the audience with different reasons. Like who here would watch Breaking Bad for the sexy material and watch Twilight for Sci Fi intellectual ideas?

[@LoungingPotato]

I hate how the Sterek shippers ALWAYS get hate. Yes, we have people that are rude and say that Sterek should be the only ship ever. But jfc look at Scallison. People went APE SHIT when they broke up. And now that he's with Kira and Allison is with Isaac, look at all of the hate they get. There are going to be crazy people wherever you go but pinning the entirety of it on the Sterek fandom is insane. I'm a Sterek shipper but guess what? I also ship Stydia and Scira and whatever else I feel like. Just because I'm a Sterek shipper, doesn't mean I'm going to harass everybody into it like some of the other shippers do (and again, this isn't just with Sterek).

[@diogoalves1709]

Exactly! Thank you so much for saying that! I mean, I love Sterek, it's my OTP but I have never tried to shove it down anybody's throats. All I've been complaining about is that I feel played by the production. They got a grip on how much we want Sterek and they keep giving us hints without having any intentions of making it actually happen on the show and that's why I'll stop watching after this season is over. Not because Sterek isn't happening, but because Jeff and the production don't have the guts to step forward and make a clear statement that Sterek won't happen. Instead, they keep teasing us for something that won't happen and that makes me disappointed because I feel played. And I won't watch a show that I feel is getting messed us with the ships and wars because it's the biggest mess and I hate this kind of stuff. I love the main plots of each season but the kisses, make out sessions and relationships are the biggest mess and I don't like it.

[@ZwinkyZMVS]

Guys Posey meant , that people make sterek more of thing than the actual show, Posey wasn't jealous, he means like people tweet kind of stuff like , if i dont get sterek i'll kill someone, thats a threat taken far not to barge into the sterek fandom (not part of it im in the scira fandom) but honestly yes some people in the sterek fandom take stuff a bit too seriously and there is a part of that fandom that take sterek to the next level.

[@GingerKinomiya]

Wtf Tyler? That answer was really unnecessary and rude. I love him....but......

[@sparkers70]

Tyler Posey can say what he wants, but when the show's first season launched, he himself talked endlessly about his RL friendship with Dylan -- would say and do almost anything to promote the show, and he was totally fine with all the bromance talk when it was about him and Dylan. Tyler simply seems jealous that the attention shifted away from him. If all that fan-fiction had been Sciles instead of Sterek, I bet he'd happily entertain the topic at every opportunity. And we would've heard a VERY different comment from him in this video.

[@Lanoira13]

Ship hating pisses me off so much, I swear. So you don't like a certain ship. Good for you. But you aren't the be all and end all of fandoms. You don't get to decide for everyone else whether or not a pairing is legitimate. Just because you don't like a ship doesn't mean there aren't people who have it as an OTP. Just because you don't see the rationale behind the shipping of a ship doesn't mean there's no basis for it. A lot of people probably hate the people you ship- Canon or not. Does that mean it shouldn't exist or that you have no reasoning behind shipping it? No. Everyone should feel free to ship and still command the respect we give others, and we all, as a fandom should respect that. When you say any ship is twisted or shouldn't exist or fake or lacks all credence or suggest the shippers any less deserving of respect you disrespect your fandom, fandoms as a whole, free thinking, freedom of expression, and humanity. Also you come off as a judgmental prick.

[@CJPDeQueen]

Well said.

[@mukbangfoodiev2]

None of the relationships on this show have really made any sense. Love at first glance, obsessing over a girl who sleeps around and treats you like crap, and a guy who can't keep a girl alive. So.....that's all I have to say about that. In regard to Sterek fans most of us don't believe the two will actually get together and we're okay with that but what we do believe is that the two character's have great chemistry together...which is rare and important for any show. Scott and Allison was toxic, Scott was extremely stupid and naive when he was with her and it was annoying not to mention they have poor chemistry. Lydia and Stiles would not work because Stiles deserves a person who hasn't kissed his best friend nor treated him like he's dirt and they have a good brother/sister romance.

[@MrDPower16]

The fact that Tyler is having such an opinion about Sterek, makes me pretty mad. Even though I don't ship Sterek [Stydia ftw] he should be supportive and let anyone ship whoever they want to ship as long as they love the show for some reason. I can imagine that Sterek is everything to some people so he probably shouldn't say that they watch the show "for the wrong reason"

[@Furrina89]

I do ship Sterek, but I saw nothing wrong with what Tyler P said. Should he worded it differently? Yes, but it's the truth. Sterek is not Canon, so watching a show ONLY for a non-canon ship, and then pester the cast and crew about it, is pretty stupid reason to watch a show. Watch the show because you like the show, not because you want the characters may or may not get on with it. TBTP acknowledge and encourage the ship, but they have said over and over again that it may or may not become canon... because either way, it could give away too much of an arc for a story they haven't even planned yet.

[@MrDPower16]

Vini Bhatt OKay I didn't know that they were that obsessive with the ship that they started pestering the cast and crew about it. I don't think that's cool at all. But we can't generalize the fandom.. there are some people who just ship them for fun and people who are going way too far but every fandom has people like that. Also there are no certain rules how to watch a show.. even if you just want to see Melissa McCall because you like her so much, it's the same thing to watch the show because you like Sterek even though everyone know that they will never become canon. But those small situations between them is what excites the shippers.. and as long as they found excitement in the show someone shouldn't care what they like about the show. I have the feeling that someone is just allowed to watch a show if they just like all the obvious things like Scallison.. and for me personally it's quite refreshing to watch the show from another perspective even though I don't ship Sterek. I hope you understood what I'm trying to say.. sorry for the wall of text :D

[@Furrina89]

MrDPower16 yeah, like I said, it's fine. I hate that all of us are being grouped 'crazy stalker/obsessive fan' category because it sucks. i'm in multiple fandoms, these days you cannot NOT be, I'm aware that every show has hardcore fans, and even though i agree with everything you said, there IS no fixed reason for watching a show and there have been subtextual shippers long since before the internet, but the fact remains that if you keep harassing people to see things from your perspective while denying ALL other perspectives (I mean even Laws of Physics have a room for Theory of Relativity), at some point someone is gonna snap and say 'fuck that, it's never happening. EVER.' like it happened with Destiel (Dean/Castiel). And it sucks for all the fans because tho' we KNOW it's never gonna happen, there's always a hope until someone decides to crap all over it. So, I'm not pissed at Tyler for saying that, he's entitled to his opinion, I'm pissed that he felt need to say that after 3 years of 'yeah, okay, it's fine'. sorry for the rant. still hurting i guess :(

[@MrDPower16]

Vini Bhatt I completely agree with everything you said.. I think we have the same opinion about his statement.. The good thing is.. it's just his opinion.. it doesn't hinder us from shipping who we want to ship and find all those little things that weren't done on purpose by the producers but make TOTAL sense in our heads! :) Even if he'd support it.. so what? At the end of the day it doesn't change anything.

[@christsianakas4182]

First of all, the question was directed to Hoechlin, not Posey. Since TW oftenly used and uses the Sterek fandom, we have EVERY right to ask whatever the hell we want about our ship. TW exploited the Sterek fandom and even Danny to get votes on polls or win other competitions, so Posey has absolutely no right complaining about it. He's not the one bringing the votes, the fandom is. It's not the fans' fault that Sterek is more popular than Posey, it's Davis' fault for not making TW more Scott-centric instead of Stiles-centric. Even if it was his opinion, he phrases it very poorly, so it's obvious misunderstandings about him being homophobic occured. There is no such thing as true fan. People can watch the show for whatever reason they want. Actors and actresses like Crystal have been posed with way more awkward questions and still remained professional. That's all I have to say about this.

[@andreac7874]

[@swancymonteiro1851]

Btw, what IS the right and wrong reason for watching this show? like honestly is there a guide I need to follow or something? Or can I watch something because I like it?

[@SPNSGPBlvr]

According to a lot of the haters I have seen lately you should watch the show because a) it has a non-white main character, b) the main character has all the best plotlines, c) the main character is the best actor ever, d) the main character's love interests are the most romantic, genuine, brilliant, non-clique thing in the entire world of writing. At least that is what I keep getting told! I DO NOT hate Scott or Tyler, I like Scott's character but can get bored with his plots. I love Scira. I love Sterek. I do understand why he is upset at the constant focus on Sterek when it's not canon, but that doesn't give him the right to insult the fanbase. I don't think I've ever seen another actor handle a shipping question so badly.

[@Dukeoflords]

A large portion of the sterek fandom has treated his character like shit since the show started and honestly the only thing I'm shocked by is how long its taken him to say something like this. And don't even try it by calling him a homophobe either he was more than happy when people told him they shipped scisaac and he constantly talks about wanting scott and stiles to make out so just don't

[@DarkbloomTV]

I wonder if he still would be saying that Sterek is weird and bizarre if suddenly all Sterek fans would stop watching. I am not a Sterek fan myself but a lot of people got into the show because of Sterek and started watching for Sterek but stayed for other storylines/characters and now saying that it's weird...

[@Capybaroque]

Does anyone else remember the days in early season 1 when even writers from other shows / random celebrities / internet hosts supported Sterek? I mean, even though it's a crackship, it just shows that the idea in itself is appealing, and you can admit that without shipping it. MTV even supported it to bring in fans with the whole TV Guide "We're on a ship" thing.. I thought, though it may not be the focal point, that shipping was what helped the fanbase for the overall show develop quickly. I feel like he's just frustrated at crazy fans, and what he feels towards them applies to all crazy shippers, not just sterek. (Example: I'm still pissed at the girl who yelled out "you're hot!" to Dylan last comic con, which made him lose his train of thought when talking about Stiles' relationship with Scott. Girl, your comment had no substantial contribution. Upset, I am.)

[@OfficialLeoMejia]

I couldn't help but feel insulted about what Posey said. Funny thing is that whenever Teen Wolf does want to win something (ex. TV Magazine Cover) they turned to the Sterek fans/fandom for help. This "pays more attention to Sterek than the show, isn't watching the show for the right reason" part is ridiculous. I mean REALLY? because to my understanding there is no right or wrong way to watch a show, either you watch it or you don't. If it weren't for us, BIZARRE, WEIRD, TWISTED Sterek shippers I would have walked out of the show after the disaster that was 3A and if that is not good enough reason to stop watching it consider all the plot holes, continuity errors and the inexistent timeline. (Im glad they convinced me because this season is SO MUCH BETTER and by BETTER I mean Dylan is killing it.) Even if people are just watching TW for a ship or for their favorite character, who give a shit why they do it, just remember that the views still count and those people that are watching the show for the "WRONG REASONS" are the ones that are helping you keep your job. Fans can make you and fans can also destroy you. I'll for having and expressing an opinion but express it without insulting people. Im sure Posey is a great guy (from what I've seen at cons and interviews) and he said that without thinking what harm it could cause to some people but the way he answer the question really made him sound like DICK.

[@CJPDeQueen]

Clapping you hard here!!

[@RavenStillBeguiling]

LOL @ people calling him homophobic. If that was the case he'd be talking about the ACTUAL homosexual couple on the show which is Danny/Ethan. If that was the case he wouldn't have been very open and excited about the idea of Scott's sexuality being explored. Sterek is not a couple. There is absolutely nothing in the narrative that even hints that there's anything romantic between them. They aren't friends, they can barely tolerate one another, they rarely interact, and the only thing tying them together is their love for Scott. Which is why too many Sterek shippers are constantly shitting on Scott and erasing him from his own narrative. Tyler Posey must be as tired of it as the rest of us. Sterek fans are always shoving their ship down the actors' throats and have been for years. Everyone in that cast must be exhausted and frustrated by it, especially Tyler and Dylan who have to deal with it on a regular basis. It is weird, it is bizarre, that on a show where there's so much to talk about, all they keep hearing about is Sterek, a crack ship.

[@joseenoel7142]

all of this x 1000 % agree with you :D

[@AmyCobalto]

I highly disagree. Stereks, as any other fandom, are usually normal people who ship a thing. Nothing more or less. People are rude because of their manners or the way they were raised, not cause of their ship. People are calling TP an homophobic because one simple reason and that is: Two people who coexist, meet on a regular basis and have saved each other’s sorry asses several times... why would that be considered a twisted relationship (if it was)? Why? The only reason I can think of is that maybe TP doesn't like that the two of them are males. I don't think he's an homophobe anyway. However, he'd have no reason to rant against Danny and Ethan 'cause that had nothing to do with the question. Anyway, he is entitled to his opinion, but he's despising a lot of people here. Dispatching half of the TW fandom wasn't a very smart move. There are ways and ways to say things and that way he chose was a rude one, that's all.

[@RavenStillBeguiling]

Argiro Sin Yes if these people want to watch a 45 minute show in the hopes of getting a 10 second Sterek interaction, which rarely happens, that's their choice. But you know there's more to it than that. It's a problem when the cast goes to conventions/fanmeets and 90% of the questions asked by fans are about Sterek. It is a problem when Tyler Posey gets erased from his own show by Sterek shippers. I wish I had a dollar for every person i've seen say that based on what they've seen in fandom they thought Stiles and/or Derek was actually the main character. It is a problem when these shippers are sending cookies to the creators in an attempt to literally bribe them into giving them what they want. Even though it wouldn't make sense on the show, it wouldn't make sense based on who Stiles and Derek are separately and together. But again, they don't care about that, they only care about getting Sterek and have been harassing the cast members and creators for years. Of course it's not everyone in the Sterek fandom. That's a given so all you're doing is derailing the conversation from the real problem: A majority of the Sterek fandom IS behaving this way. So you should be calling the bad apples out instead of crying over semantics.

[@RavenStillBeguiling]

Amy Airiel Amy, Sterek fans have been automatically calling everyone who doesn't like Sterek homophobic for years which is why i'm rolling my eyes at seeing this yet again. That's their go-to insult. Tyler's word are a bit harsh, I can agree with that, but Sterek has an age difference, Derek is very much a man while Stiles is just a kid, they don't particularly like one another, Derek has been quite abusive towards Stiles in the past so people having a negative reaction to the idea of them together is not automatically homophobic. It's seeing that these two people together would be extremely problematic.

[@joseenoel7142]

RavenStillBeguiling you are so right, everything you just said is right, plus you do very polite manner and with very justified explanations :D

[@DearOblivion98]

WOW TYLER WHAT THE FUCK LIKE 70% OF THE TEEN WOLF FANDOM SHIPS STEREK AND YOU'VE JUST BASICALLY DISSED ALL OF US I'm genuinely sad now like what

[@rotisepan]

wow honey, if i work for teen wolf, i feel like our job it's meaningless and pointless, and it's sadden me. i think posey little bit tired to get asked about sterek because teen wolf is not about sterek only. you know the amount of sterek stuff recently went up too high than the main story. try to respect the creative team and cherish from other aspect and point of view in teen wolf, you'll find balance. namaste.

[@UncleFizzmo]

rotisepan Have you ever considered the possibility that it's the writer's fault the show can't stand on its own without the support of the Sterek shippers? It was them that made Teen Wolf popular in the first place.

[@rotisepan]

UncleFizzmo yeah sure, i think scott's character not strong enough like "naruto like" to steal the whole show. you know what? i watch teen wolf because of sterek at first, and that because of tumblr doing. but then the tension of the story got better, i couldn't help liking it all even though kinda don't make sense, but hey supernatural have no limits whatsoever haha. just be nice with the actors still supporting them appreciate their work, be grateful they made teen wolf, if there's no scott, no stiles, no sterek man

[@MichaelMusou]

wtf do boats and ships have to do with teen wolf? and wtf stiles nor derek is gay in the show, thats not nice saying that about someone

[@jessc.4325]

twwarrior333 HAHAHAH

[@NasreenN101]

why are people so offended? O_O maybe he just feels that stiles and derek don't mend...there are seriously some fans that will stop watching cause their ship doesn't come through or whatever. grow up. he is NOT being homophobic just giving an honest opinion on the matter. stop attacking him on twitter.

[@pokafamily8336]

Wow, had no clue posey was like that. When talking about his character's relationship he says it's cute and etc. but with sterek the fans should focus on the plot and etc? So his romantic story is ok, but fans noticing the chemistry in sterek and hoping for more makes it wrong? Does he even notices what's coming out of his mouth? I could go on about his double standards but I'm pretty sure most people noticed his asinine opinion on sterek. It just made him look like as if he wanted the "fans"to focus on his characters.

[@tackledeaks6165]

Ila Rakhi I personally think it is twisted.Not because of it being a same sex thing,but mostly because stiles is a minor and Derek is already most likely in his mid 20’s.If anything,Sciles would be better as they are the same age and have a true friendship,which stiles and Derek don’t really have as the only reason they are connected is because of Scott.

[@mieroth]

Why so mad? Goes to show that Sterek must be everywhere for him to get worked up about it. Tehehe. :D Some actors can't deal with fan shipping whilst other actors are cool with it. It doesn't matter either way. Shipping is a fan activity. If certain actors have a problem with it that's up to them. Opinions and more opinions. Personally I'm just loving that Sterek is getting such attention, especially considering they have such little contact in the second half of this season. Carry on Sterek shippers!

[@AresSceptile]

I'm fed up of everyone bashing Sterek in the comments. Posey is completely right, although it isn't just the Sterek fans fault. Everywhere I go, I see, "If -blank- dies, I'll quit," or, "I only watch TW for -insertpairinghere-!" Stop blaming us for every fucking thing. If you want to see more of Scott, then go post about him. Nothing's going to happen if you sit here and whine about Sterek taking all the spotlight, jfc. As for all the hate certain Sterek fans are giving Posey, back the fuck off. You're only making the problem worse. I'm ashamed of some of you, you're proving the anti-sterek's right! A 'Posey Appreciation Week' definitely needs to be created as an ammends to this whole thing. :P

[@swancymonteiro1851]

You know what the best thing about the TW fandom was and still is, is that people on tumblr especially always try their best to promote 'shipping equality' like everyone is untitled to ship what they want and that we should never ship-shame someone. I love how the stydia fandom are respectful to the sterek fandom and vise versa, there's obvious tensions but NEVER have I ever been told by a stydia fan that I can't ship sterek, because they understand and being a sterek fan I've always felt accepted. But today is the first time ever, that I've felt like I should feel 'sick' about myself because I ship something weird, and bizzare and twisted. I feel like someone is shamming me for what I ship and the worst thing is that its not even someone from the fandom but someone who I look up to. It sucks. But to all those people who actually understand, thank you. I love you posey, always will.

[@Pinkcaramel68]

Posey I love you, a lot. But this hurt, like we love teen wolf for teen wolf, not only for sterek.

[@governmentscheisse]

then what he said shouldn't hurt you lmao

[@Pinkcaramel68]

HAHAH, you got me there lol. Yeah, that was typed in the moment. I guess I just thought it was a bit harsh and unnecessairy, but I love Posey, especially his honesty. Like I'm over it, tbh.

[@snappiepappie9899]

Plz stop with the hate on Tyler its just his opnion

[@mattlemmons6647]

An opinion that's insulting to a huge group of the show's fans who did more to publicize it early on than any other group. I'm not a Sterek shipper, but I think the way Posey, Jeff Davis, and MTV turned on them once the show became a bit more popular is shameful.

[@snappiepappie9899]

+Matt Lemmons Well Tyler is just a little hard some times and I think that theres no need to be mad at him

[@mattlemmons6647]

Then don't be mad at him. I have low regard for ungrateful celebrities who bite the hands that feed them. (Of course, now that his show's ratings have dropped by half maybe his opinion about what are and aren't legitimate reasons to watch it could stand some rethinking...)

[@Cassandra6]

I don't see the sterek shippers making such a big deal about the canon gay romance with Danny and Ethan. Stiles is obviously in love with Lydia and Derek has only been in heterosexual relationships. I don't know what show you guys are watching because we are obviously not watching the same one...

[@gizzylovett]

Ethan isn't exactly a great character tho.

[@Cassandra6]

Gizzy Lovett Yeah I didn't like the twins at first but they are growing on me now I'd be sad if they left the show

[@ThePandaGalaxy]

***** I think that Stiles' love for Lydia has progressed to be almost admiration more than love at the moment. After everything they went through together I think it is more that Stiles has a strong relationship with her, but it won't become canon. Just because Derek has only been in hetero relationships doesn't mean we should write it off, but I'm not saying he is definitely bi or anything. Guess we just have to wait and see, but I do see your point :)

[@Cassandra6]

Amy Richman-Billing I think you may be right Stiles will always love her but maybe not so intensely as previous seasons. And well just judging by Tyler Posey's reaction to it here I would say that Derek is not bi, it's just not part of the narrative of the show. If a scene ever happens that depicts that in the future then I will concede but as of now I would say definitely not since nothing like that has been addressed or shown in any way during the entirety of the series

[@joseenoel7142]

Amy Richman-Billing I do not agree...at the beginning it was the admiration and even almost the obsession, but now it is clear he is really attracted by her and his feelings for her its many adult if I can put it that way. He is now able to recognize the changes she has made and not see it as the perfect little doll, but as an equal, as it should be in a real relationship

[@ladyhachiko]

If Sterek is a bizarre and TWISTED thing so tell me what StilesxMalia is. Come on! People think really too "straight". It's like watching the episode of Spartacus in which Agron met Nasir for the first time and say "they will never be togheter". They sort of "hated" each other but then they became a canon so... Sterek is really not so odd guys (sorry for my english)

[@ladyhachiko]

*kind of

[@BrattyNaomi]

Oh My God I luv Agron and Nasir!!!

[@sean7245]

Tyler was just a bit jealous. (No one takes Dylan away from him).

[@aerys9644]

dude who would shame fans? like they are still are watching the show and supporting y'all. Tyler Posey should have thought about that a bit more before talking out of his ass

[@almightyant90]

I've said this once on another post I'm a hetro guy who is not rooting for Sterek but I would have to be blind to not see how they interact with one another. Most same sex straight characters don't have sparks like they do when they're interacting with one another. I know ppl like to say how when it's a love hate relationship well guess what a lot of relationships on shows start off that way. Examples True blood: Sookie and Eric, OTH: Peyton and Lucus, TVD: Elena and Damon and the list goes on that's what some fans get from Stiles and Derek. So I don't fault them for liking what they like, however Tyler my man he really should've chosen his words more wisely. He came off as someone who has a problem with gays by saying bizarre, weird, and twist thing which wasn't very professional in my opinion. That's how you lose viewership he could've stated how he felt without steeping on others toes it wasn't right. Someone should've spoke to him about that. Not only that it was disrespectful to Dylan and Tyler who are great actors and did not intend to attract such attention. It's not their fault for being great at their roles as the rest of the cast he should've thought of them and not just himself. Also I don't think anyone is watch the show anymore for him anyway it's all about my man Stiles right now so get over yourself.

[@bowegirl02]

I never get a friendly nice vibe from tyler Posey when he does interveiws and its not even because of this one. I just dont like him.

[@Maisie.Meehan]

+Bowegirl02 I think he's just a very 'talk first, think later' kind of guy- he's very energetic, but I honestly think he's a pretty harmless guy ;) I give him a bit of credit for at least stating his opinion (even if it was worded in a little bit of a rude manner)

[@plnathalia]

I just wish that if they're never gonna make Sterek canon, stop with the hinting and teasing. Stop giving the fans false hope. Just be honest.

[@swancymonteiro1851]

this is the best thing anyone's ever said. As a sterek shipper I would just like to be told that its 'never happening' and I would like not be used as a tool to win polls or be on magazines. Because I feel used by Jeff Davis, like he uses sterek as a way of winning things and giving us false hope in return.

[@BelieberINWeed]

For reals guys, it's all fiction. Teen wolf is fictional and so is sterek, therefore the idea or people tailoring their own vision for these fictional characters in fandom shouldn't be an issue. It's 'immature' to even rationalize anger over such a thing honestly. Jeff Davis is not going to stop writing and the actors are not going to stop acting just because a group of people like a specific FICTIONAL relationship. You all need to stop being craz. And Tyler, srs you gotta hand it to the fandom, because without the fandom the show could've had the fate of 99% of MTV's dramas...down the toilet after the first season.

[@BelieberINWeed]

Not to say the show its self lacks substance, but as we all know(or should be aware) that the fandom is what stretches a show, movie, band etc beyond its one universe and makes into a remerable thing even after its far ended. Hello! Star Trek guys!! Do you get all frazzled when people are like "Kirk and Spock 4 ever" ? The thing is, we all are aware of the large Kirk/Spock following but we also know that there was waayy more to the show, as in it didnt take anything away from the show at all it just stretched the enormity of its entity.

[@MichaelMusou]

its a good tv show thats why it didnt go down the toilet, no one cares about your stupid interpretations or wishes or whatever

[@BelieberINWeed]

Ok smart ass, reread my comment.

[@xiumer5810]

I think that Tyler Posey could've worded that differently, as to not upset Sterek shippers. And of course, if we ship it, we want it to happen, but I think we all agree that we would carry on watching the show if Sterek never became canon. I started watching the show for the story line, and that's why I'm carrying on watching it. And yes, I have started shipping Sterek along the way, and yes, sometimes my thought process is 'I need some Sterek, so I'll watch some TW' But it's the same for Destiel, or Johnlock. I think Tyler could have just been a bit more considerate, that's all.

[@totallymagus]

While Tyler is entitled to his own opinion of Sterek, he didn't have to call out the fandom as fake fans out to make TW weird. I like Sterek and I couldn't care less if Stiles ends up with Lydia. Having an opinion on Sterek is one thing. Calling out the fandom like that was fucked up though. Stick to your day job, Tyler.

[@Ches19.]

Amen! Honestly. I ship Sterek because they have so much in common, because they mesh, because they just really work well together and they could make each other better. Their amazing chemistry aside, I'll start with what they have in common. They've both lost family, and they both haven't truly gotten over it yet. They mask their feelings and deflect using humor (Stiles) and anger (Derek). They're both a little lost in their roles in all of this, Derek having Alpha-hood thrust upon him and taking care of a pack, and Stiles trying to figure out how he can help and stay on an even level with everyone else without any supernatural powers. People say that they hate each other. Not true, even Tyler Hoechlin said so. Theirs is a mutual respect now. Sure, in the beginning there was a lot of threats and slamming into things, but even then it wasn't hate. With Stiles I think it was a kind of fascination, and wariness and a little bit jumpy, yes, but not true fear either. Derek, I think, was more like casually intrigued, because come on, he's never met anyone like Stiles before. And he recognized his intelligence because he went to him for help a few times. Also, if you guys will remember, there was that scene where after Derek is forced to kill Boyd and he's staring down at his hands in horror and grief, Stiles comes up behind him to put a comforting hand on his shoulder. And Derek lets him. Does that look like hate to you? Besides, it's one of the most used romantic tropes ever. The couple "hate" each other at first, but over time come to love each other. It's everywhere. I honestly think their respective personalities are perfect for each other. They can help each other cope in their own special ways. I really think that they understand each other more than most of the other characters do. And like you said, it would be so much nicer to have two main characters who've been there since the beginning get together than shove in a new character we don't know just to be a love interest. One of the reasons I don't approve of the Malia/Stiles pairing. But really, that whole thing was so badly done. One, hooking up in an insane asylum when Stiles was getting possessed and Malia having just become a human again after 8 years spent as a coyote? Consent issues galore. Also, horrible timing. Why on earth would Stiles stop to take the time to make out, of all things, during all of the shit that's going down? With a girl he barely knows and didn't have much lead up with? Malia should, if you're looking at this logically because so many psychological studies have been done on this, be feral. She should be wild and instinctive and animalistic. She became a coyote at age 9, she hadn't even come close to being emotionally, mentally, and academically mature. Especially not on the level they've shown her to be now. Yes, there's leeway in shows with magic, but this is ridiculous. Even without the coyote part, if you were to send a 9 year old out into the forest to live on their own for 8 years, they wouldn't come out normal either. I think Stydia is the only possible contender with Sterek at this point. While its definitely more logical and healthier than Malia/Stiles (Stilia?), it also just doesn't work for me. This part is solely my opinion and preference, just putting that out there. I personally don't like how he's had this obsession/crush on her for nigh on ten years now. She didn't even know he existed until she started getting involved with all the supernatural stuff, and even then, I think she truly loved Jackson, though I'm not sure about her feelings for Aiden tbh. I can see Stiles and Lydia being really good friends and this badass super smart duo, just not romantically. Again, just my opinion. I still think its a viable ship, just not my kind of thing, I guess. And now for the age difference. It can't be that much, Derek's most likely in his early 20's so 6 years at most. Besides, I know plenty of people in real life and in fiction who have bigger age differences than that. I have an 18 year old friend who's dating a 23 year old, and no one has said anything about their ages. Plus, Jeff Davis must really not care too much about the age difference seeing as he had Derek practically seduce Erica into being a werewolf, and that stunt Erica pulled with making out with Derek to distract him in the middle of a fight. Erica is Stiles' age. Clearly age is not an issue. As for use of the words "twisted" and "bizarre" being hurtful in this case, yes it does make a difference that it's a gay relationship, because LGBT people throughout history have been called those things with genuine disgust and aversion, as well as the people who support them, and the people who ship gay pairings. It's a sensitive area. So, yeah. God that's a really, really long comment. I just had to put that all in one place. Okay I'm done.

[@CJPDeQueen]

Well done on your great (and long!) comment. Some really good explanation on your thoughts and feelings regarding the situation with Sterek and TP.

[@Ches19.]

Well thank you. Idk, the Teen Wolf cast and fandom is kind of irritating me right now with all the shipping wars and the hate. Sterek either gets ignored like it doesn't exist or bashed and beaten down to a bloody pulp in so many ways, and that's just not fucking right. Most people are extremely harsh and violent and rude when they talk about Sterek and Sterek shippers and that honestly hurts. Doesn't matter that the Sterek Campaign sends the cast cute little cookies multiple times, doesn't matter that they raised money to save wolves, doesn't matter that they're extremely respectful and intelligent people, doesn't matter that all some shippers ask for these days is a little screen time and some respect. From what I've seen when I search Stydia and Stalia, those shippers come off as much more forceful and angry, despite the fact that that's what they accuse Sterek shippers of being. They make comments like "Stydia better be endgame or I'll strangle Jeff!" (for real, I saw a post like that and many, many more along the same lines or very much like it, on Twitter, Tumblr, _and_ Facebook). I don't have a problem with Stydia being a ship _at all_, it's the shippers that rub me wrong. It just bothers me so much, it's seriously putting me off the show and it's so sad that it's gotten to that point because I loved watching this show. Then season 3 happened and it got worse :(

[@CJPDeQueen]

I so get everything you are saying. I think it's a shame that most of the cast seem to be fed up with the Sterek fans even though most of us are not bothering them about our love for the idea of Stiles and Derek together as a couple. I think most of us knew it was never gonna happen on screen simply because I don't think for one moment that either of the actors that play them would want to go down that route. If any of them had been told before they started in the role that they were at least bi, it would have made it easier to deal with however the case is they were not, so I can't imagine for one second that they would want to change something about either of their character (like their sexuality) that they took for granted. Plus I believe that because Tyler H and Dylan O'B have such a close friendship off screen, it would be too much for them to play an all male couple falling in love on screen. I've only watched bits and pieces of the last series because they don't show it on tv in the UK anymore which is so annoying. So I'll keep up on what's happening in this new series via youtube, etc, etc. Not really bother about any of the couples on TW now as I lost my only cannon one which was Scott and Allison (despite Tyler P's comments!) so what ever happens between Stiles/Lydia or Stiles/Malia is neither here nor there to me.

[@xDesdemonaMortiss]

I'm pretty sure 99% of us didn't start watching Teen Wolf for Sterek, sure I ship it, but I also ship Stydia. So? We are a fandom, fandoms have ships. But I love the show. But I also love my ships.

[@Himmel.Himmel]

I knew from the title this was gonna be awkward

[@RanaKhan-zl6ri]

8 years later and this is still so fucking iconic! posey has more balls than the whole cast combined!

[@bigchill6788]

For real . I love it when actors speak theor mind

[@3oct10]

I love Sterek but I understand every point of view, but I hate whoever who makes the questions for the interviews, why don't they leave the subject alone? If you don't know how to handle such delicates things like that don't touch them. This is good excuse to start another battle in the fandom. Holy hell!

[@DreamTeamMacedonia]

Honey if it weren't for Sterek Teen Wolf would lose like at least 2/3 from the viewers xoxo

[@merdok1993]

Yeah, and that's EXACTLY what Tyler Posey means. It's pathetic that people think the whole show is about shipping.

[@hinodejisa]

merdok1993 No one thinks the whole show is about shipping, but some people watch the show for the shipping. Because, while "Riddled" was fantastic, last episode I was thinking, "that was silly," "that makes no sense," "electricity doesn't work like that," "great character moment from Derek!" "why did that happen??" "nice bit of info," "that was dumb," "that also makes no sense," "really, Scott, this comes as a surprise to you?" and finally "wow, Dylan, that was some fantastic and really creepy acting." So, yes, some people only watch it for the shipping; otherwise, they wouldn't bother with it at all.

[@governmentscheisse]

lmaooooooooooo except sterek didn't even become a thing until after the show became successful and it's still not even a thing to most of the audience.

[@hinodejisa]

governmentscheisse Except, yes, it was a thing before the show was successful (*sterek fan here* liked it before the show was successful), and, no, it's not a thing for most of the audience, just a large portion of it.

[@Cassandra6]

governmentscheisse haha that's what I'm saying. and hinodejisa I think you are over counting the sterek shippers. Ask anyone outside of tumblr if they see anything between Stiles and Derek and they will think you are crazy.

[@celestetyler8676]

I think rather than being homophobic, Posey is saying that Sterek is fucking weird. He can't see it happening, hence his words. I mean yes, his words were a little harsh, but I don't think there's anything we can really do at this point. (Just to clarify, I am Sterek trash. What's written above definitely doesn't reflect my views on this hella gay ship)

[@KaMafo28]

Sure Sterek is the biggest Ship in Teen Wolf, but that doesn't mean that that is the only reason they watch Teen Wolf. I as a Sterek shipper also watch the show because of the action and the thrill and just the pull of the show where you just want to scream at the tv! I love the cast and even if I don't like what Tyler says, it is his opinion. He should have been more respectful with his words though. It could really hurt some peoples feelings. Trust me, a lot of Sterek shippers also ship other ships on the show, so no we don't just watch it for Sterek. Even if we did, that's our choice... Just like with Stydia shippers, Scira shippers, Steter shippers. It's not just Sterek.

[@fmellark]

It's Tyler... I don't think his intention was to be offensive. Sometimes words come out wrong.

[@KaMafo28]

It's true. He's like a puppy.

[@_Aniver_]

***** I didn't even know Sterek existed until Season 3 Part A because them being shipped just never occurred to me and I didn't pay attention to the TW fandom until a few days ago so I didn't even know people shipped it. Personally, I always assumed their interactions were just for comic relief. In reality, there are people who just watch the show for ships...I'm glad Posey was so honest about his words. What I don't like is that people are taking his words and twisting them into either fan bashing and/or LGBT bashing...

[@KaMafo28]

I know Posey didn't mean to sound like he was insulting the fandom, but I do feel like he could of used better words for it though.

***** Posey didn't mean what he said at all. He didn't mean to sound like a homophobic jackass. He just doesn't want to be the star of a show that os going to be associated with the gay and lesbian communities. It wouldn't do well for his image as an actor. Heath Ledger almost didn't get the role of the joker because he was associated to broke-back mt. It's the simple fact that the media still views homosexuality as a negative thing. That's why Sterek woun't be a thing unless the Sterek shippers demand it

[@Mslittlejoeyy]

So, if he were describing a straight ship and used the terms "twisted" and "bizarre" (I can easily name you a couple of ships immediately that come to mind, when I hear those words and they're not gay pairings) does that make him or one, anti heterosexual or anti decent human being?? get your little heads out of your, yes, twisted fantasies, because that is what they are when you push for the idea of a completely fictional ship, to LITERALLY become apart of the series in order to be happy/satisfied. The majority of Sterek shippers define this to a T. Every thing has to somehow universally be a SIGN/INDICATION that they are DESTINED to be and all of that BS. It's only damn obvious you are watching for your blinded Sterek moments/signs to appear to you while watching the show. Just seeing the obvious fact being displayed within the reaction to Tyler's outspoken truth about this madness and the action taken by these Sterek shippers in response, speaks a lot about how delusional you all are. Derek Hale is not gay nor bi and Stiles does not have an undying love for Derek (as much as you all are wishfully imagining because of your fantasy visions) this IS fact. So, if you're going to ship them together, keep it away from having any relation to the actual show already and shut it.

omg thank you!

[@OkCare1786]

when you say you could name a couple like that do you mean Delena? lol

[@Mslittlejoeyy]

LMAO that's the very FIRST one that comes to mind indeed! Misha Micky

[@jessicadavis8865]

AHHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS.

[@OkCare1786]

Mslittlejoeyy hahaha, the description fits them perfectly

[@Sired2Klaus]

What does he mean by "not watching the show for the right reason"? It's a tv show for entertainment! You can watch a show for whatever reason you want weather because you like the plot the characters or the actors or an onscreen romance or all of the above. We've all done it. We watch because we want to be entertained and why we are entertained shouldn't put us up to be judged.

I love Posey and he may dislike sterek, but this is not cool. even with the lack of sterek interactions and some major plot issues, we are still dedicated to TEEN WOLF. we've always combined forces to bring attention to voting and charities. One of the huge promoters of posey's own leukemia walk were a group of sterek shippers who don't do it for STEREK but because they LOVE the show and its cast. It's just a bit disappointing for the way he worded it.

[@TTORREZ1]

I LOVE that Tyler Posey was honest about his feelings. People need to respect that. He's entitled to his feelings & opinions.

[@Dalenaxx3]

I started watching the show because it was a fresh new show about werewolfs, one of my fave things, with great characters and a great storyline. Back then I did not even know Sterek and started shipping it first at the end of season 2. But I got hooked on that show and have sleepless nights over it because of Sterek. I like a few TV shows but I'm not eagerly watching every episode right when it's airing and supporting the show members in every way possible, only do that with Teen Wolf, because Sterek is the icing on the cake. It's what keeps me interested cause you always wanna know if your dream comes true or not. I love all of the characters, am deeply involved with what's happening and all that, but those are not the things I dedicated my life to. And let's be honest, they should be thankful for all of the Sterek shippers, cause it makes the show a huge success and gives it quite the promotion. And if you're so in love with a ship, you just cannot not be in love with their characters. And if you're in love with Stiles and Derek, you just have to care for the characters which are caring for them and which they are caring for. So in the end, the fountain might be Sterek, but Teen Wolf is the water it flows into. So you're loving all of it. Posey, I loved you and your craziness very much, but that was indeed very mean of you and it shows that you have no idea of shipping. And the part where Hoech says they will always be focusing on the relationship between Stiles and Derek as partners in crime, well, can we finally take that as a serious answer. That Sterek is not gonna happen? I'm tired of being used for promotion. I'm just so tired of it...

[@ThePandaGalaxy]

This. Answer. Is. Perfect. Thank you :D I ship Sterek but I was struggling to find a way to express what I feel about this :)

[@Dalenaxx3]

I am, very very happy that someone can relate to what I'm thinking and that I managed to put it into the right words! I didn't really know how to put it either :) Shipping is like being in love. You just can't describe the feeling.

[@TheresaTheWeirdo]

As professional actors, they knew what they were doing when they added the obvious sexual tension in the scenes and the subtext. We all know Stiles was BLATANTLY staring at Derek's lips when they were both mere inches apart, and that Stiles has always had this genuine care for Derek's safety, especially in the scene where everybody thought Derek was going to die and the only person who hesitated walking away from him was Stiles. The tenderness and appreciation in Derek's eyes knowing Stiles was worried for Derek's life was obvious. And then there was the fact that Stiles was questioning his sexuality and he's remained pretty sexually/romantically ambiguous through the entirety of the show. And they have both saved each others lives on multiple occasions, which kind of builds up the typical foundations for a strong relationship- platonic or not. Of course some people go too far with it. But really, when they're giving each other actual sex eyes every time they have a scene together, and pretty much setting everything up like a relationship is bound to happen- what were they expecting? The viewers are not idiots, when we love a show we pay attention to every detail and pay attention to all relationships and character development. The writers were building up for a strong bond between Stiles and Derek, and then they downplayed it like it was nothing. I'm assuming it was because the writers are homophobic (whether they know it or not) and they thought it was funny and amusing to do that, but I think they didn't realize their viewers are mostly LGBT+ teenagers and it's not funny to dangle something like that in our faces and then literally mock it right after. Kind of done with this show, but I'm watching because despite my dislike for the writers and their whole "everything has to be straight but we can hint at other things and make minor characters gay" ideals, I still absolutely adore Stiles's character.

[@ShuhPond]

I don't disagree with you. I think that's exactly the reason that the show runners stopped putting them in scenes together, at least without others there.

[@Ame-zv5lj]

I think assuming that the writers are homophobes is not the right way to go. The showrunner is gay, remember? Plus, there are so many gay characters since season 1, and Mason and the invisible guy (I honestly don't like him) may become a thing more serious in season 6. I think they thought it was cute, but then saw how the whole Sterek thing became more and more serious and tried to undo what they did because they knew it was never going to be a real thing, so they downplayed it.

[@kanekiminion3985]

people are saying tyler's homophobic but have you seen how he acts around dylan o brien and sprayberry?

[@sherlockianfannibal3280]

ikr

[@KokueiKatana13]

Internalized homophobia does exist and is very real.

[@potmki6601]

shivermejimjams he may or may not do it "no homo" and still be homophobic (just saying)
