I'm saying this in the hope that you may run your fest without resentment from your participants. Read your phrasing, your wording, again. This is an asshole post. You've declared your mind can't be changed even with evidence, yet you are going to put another person through all the trouble and misery of trying to find evidence which may or may not exist. And what kind of evidence would you even accept? Because I can link you to meta posts about underrepresented ships but again meta posts are written by one individual but I can't tell how much research she did prior to writing her post.
So if you have no intention of changing your mind, just say you're rejecting these ships. There is no need of making a post that only creates frustration and resentment for your participants. I'm sure that as a mod you don't want such negative feelings associated with your fest.
