Tyler did not "fume" over Sterek, he said that people who try to make everything that happens on the show about Sterek are not watching the show for the right reasons. He probably gets worked up and feels this way because Sterek shippers constantly erase his character and others and often throw around racist and ableist insults towards him in defense of Sterek, something that doesn't exist. Tumblr just tried to make it about Posey being homophobic and not liking Sterek when it has everything to do with how disrespectful Sterek shippers have been.
http://draedenornah.tumblr.com/post/...an-anything-in Here's Posey talking about his character with Isaac. It's a joke, obviously, but it's what I found right now. Posey has always been incredibly supportive of both queer storylines and queer people in real life.
Here's Hoechlin talking about Sterek not being a romantic relationship. There's also an interview you can Google where he said perceiving Derek as gay or bi is "disrespectful to the character".
Also, Dylan and Tyler playing into Sterek with "we're on a ship" happened way, way, way before the ship blew up and way before they even knew what exactly "Sterek" was. It's called queerbaiting when a homosexual relationship is teased but never made to happen. Since then, there have been times where Hoechlin refused to sign Sterek artwork, Hoechlin and Dylan sat separately at cons to keep people from freaking out, and have gone on record to say Sterek isn't a real thing.
Good Lord, I only know this because I used to be obsessed with this show.

I think I still have a soft spot for Posey so I defend him against Sterek shippers who erase a PoC character and constantly replace him with a white boy.
