*giggle* Um, yeah. I have some Chlois fans on my f'list, and some are definitely more sane than others, but yes, I still find the Chlois thing inherently baffling.
I guess it's partly... the drive to be canon. Because Clark/Lana is canon, Clark and Lex's complicatedness is canon, Clark/Lois is future canon like woah. From what I've seen Chlark and Chlois fans seem to actually mostly just be Chloe fans (I say this based on the many insults flung at Clark that go mostly unchallenged). So, they want her to matter, to be important to canon. And, in the future, the two most important people in Clark's daily life will be Lois and Lex. And Chloe probably can't take over Lex's life.
Right!! You're going through all the same emotions I had on discovering them. It's completely baffling. And the spelling! Yeah! I end up concluding that they don't really like iconic Lois either, but are projecting what they would like on to that name.
Yeah, that's what I'm really getting. And there are also posts about how, if Lois is the real Lois Lane, she should have come in and immediately blown everyone away with how cool she was. Which... for one, that would make for a sucky continuing character and for the other, I find it hard to believe they wouldn't have been yelling, "Mary-Sue!" if that happened.
One of my issues with Chloisers is that they see everything as a competition (between women--for men, for the prize job).
I've been picking up on that vibe. Like, if Chloe can't have what Lois ends up getting, Chloe is doomed to be miserable. If Chloe can't be the star reporter of the Daily Planet and Clark Kent coming home to her at night, she'll be unfulfilled and miserable. And that just seems very limiting.
