I don't ship and I don't care much about the people that do it but sometimes they can be annoying and be really cringey though

I think well of them. Shipping is fun. But if it's same-sex ships you'll have to acquiesce yourself to the fact that it's never gonna be actualized outside of fan works.



Why? Is it specifically female fans of yaoi that you're averse to or the act of shipping male characters in general? If it's the former, what particular thing about female sexuality being expressed do you take issue with? If it's the latter, how do you reconcile the differential treatment between straight couples in fiction and gay couples in fiction.


first, i'm so sorry if was rude, i was refering to those extreme fujoshis. Yes, fundashis too, but i have never seen one of them so i didnĀ“t even know that they existed.
I have talked to a lot of fujoshis (not everyone is like this, i know) and they way that the fetishize gay relationships is akward. You put two guys togheter and they start shipping them. A great example is part of the MHA fanbase, with very illegal ships and pretty weird things. I do not have anything against shipping men, girls or whatever
I guess you are a fujoshi?, so sorry for being rude i donĀ“t want to make anyone feel bad


No it's fine, I don't really mind but was just genuinely curious. Well they indeed exist, you've seen one now.

I don't see what's particularly awkward about that. Sexualization in fiction is a natural thing. As long as you're not being a creep to actual people who do not want your attention, you should be fine imo.

As for legality, are you talking about the characters being minors? If so, that's like 95% of all characters in anime, irrespective of whether you're shipping them with the opposite sex or the same sex. I guess it seems kinda odd to me to raise that objection selectively when it comes to gay pairings alone. A ship does not necessarily have to overtly sexual, and it oftentimes isn't.

No, I'm not a fujoshi, since I'm not a joshi.

I think shipping is pretty -3 letter word beginning with G and ends with Y- Ive never understood viewers desiring for certain characters to be together in a relationship.

"Omg I want them to be together soooo bad"
me: "xD LOLE"

No problem with shippers, if you truly believe that Person A and Person B would make a lovely couple then all the power to you to enjoy that...

HOWEVER, it must be pointed out clearly, unless your ship ends up canon in some way, do not assume it is just because you "really think they should" because that is not how it works - the canon is determined by the creator, if they say Person A ends up with Person C and B ends up with no-one or Person D then that is the official ship END.

The ones who know that shipping is just for fun are happy dreamers. The rest are delusional. I don't ship because it generally undermines understanding character motives & plot progression in favor of self-serving fantasies. That might just be my inner-actor speaking though.

Does anyone have a problem with shipping, anyway? It's fun, it's exciting, and it inspires a lot of genuinely good content like fanfiction or fanart. The romance genre's entire POINT is to cause people to ship characters and debate whether or not there is chemistry between the main couple.

What people really dislike about shipping is the toxicity of the so-called "shipping culture". You know what I'm talking about. We all know that one BNHA fan that gets really aggressive whenever people ship literally any other ship than the one they favor. All those fujoshis that hate Uraraka, just because she "gets in the way". This is toxic. Shipping is supposed to be fun. It shouldn't be something gaining either creepily overreacted praise from the fans of a certain couple and actually hurtful hate from its haters. If someone ships some toxic shit like Yoonbum x Sangwoo or whatever then, by all means, please do criticize, but don't fucking kill each other over a ship. Toxic shippers are getting normal people a really, really bad rep. Because everyone ships SOMEONE, even if their ship is just looking on the canon couple getting married or something and thinking "aww".

Ships are okay. Shipping culture isn't.

I do ship characters but not in every single anime that I watch, it's not necessary and I don't watch animes for shipping characters, it's not that important for me, I watch animes for story, characters and character development and I don't have any problems with shippers in general but only with toxic ones who only cares about their ships and are being annoying and will shove their ship down in others throats

to be honest, they are kinda hit and miss for me, sure they can ship them because they think its cute for them on a highschool setting or episodic but When its a very heavy story wise the shippers got out of control because if this it intentionally destroys a character or story that the author created since they nag author to ship the characters that they want.

Shippers are usually just a nuisance, because they generally do not care if two characters they ship have any chemistry and just want to see characters they like to get intinate. They mostly consist of Those People found on Twitter or Tumblr, which is why most of ships are gay. They are usually harmless if left alone and ignored, but can be even worse if author makes a cardinal mistake of actually listening and catering to their demands, which can effectively ruin an entire series as a result. RWBY is a good example.

@Piromysl F/M shippers aren't any better. Look at the FF7 fandom. Some loons mocked a woman's death (it was cancer fyi) because she shipped Cloud/Aerith instead of Cloud/Tifa.

And don't forget the following behaviors:
> Death threats (Voltron went down in flames thanks to them)
> Trashing on characters for the mere crime of existing (poor Emilia, Rem/Subaru fanboys are mentally ill)
> Caring nothing about any series they see except for the desire to see two characters fuck

And don't forget the victim complex they have. They don't understand why people often look down on them, and for good reasons.

Shippers are amazing to me if the shipping is from two entirely different shows. I genuinely think silly ships like MordeTwi (Mordecai x Twilight Sparkle) is fun.

I dislike aggressive shippers, specially fujoshi/fudanshi are the cancer of the anime community even more so when their gay ship has at least one straight character and they go to lengths to prove them gay, have had plenty of bad experiences with these types.

Aside from KKM, what other series has such people? And yeah, those aggressive shippers are the worst, those people literally ruin every fandom they touch.

@LeonhartAugust All my personal experiences are from KKM fandom since I was part of it for 5 years but I've seen other shippers behave similarly. For straight, there was Nisekoi and Re:Zero. BnHA is more than infamous for all the gay shipping that goes on in its fandom specially BakuDeku. I'm sure everyone knows at this point how Tokyo Ghoul shippers sent death threats to its mangaka when their gay ship sunk. While Yuukoku no Moriarty was airing people only cared about shipping Sherlock Holmes and William Moriarty arguing about how they are gay for each other in the manga even though the manga doesn't explicitly states anything like it. Even with BL series fujos get overly defensive about gay abusers and rapist, romanticizing their actions.

Always the sameā€¦ Every age, every generation.

@LeonhartAugust

The issue with fandoms is that the amount of teenagers and young adults is very high, often uhm... such with behavioral issues too. They let out the frustration in their life on some random person with the wrong ship, a random artist etc... and can't see that the internet is in fact, just the internet.
Some people were dodged over "problematic ships".

@Tressym My thoughts exactly, and the less I talk about antis, the better. I get getting disgusted by certain topics in fiction, but those guys are genuinely deranged. Also, there's rather abhorrent vermin like tragedydesu, who would use to flood the forums with his shipping obsession like some mentally disabled teenage fangirl for years on end. And of course he blocked me when I asked him why he cared about Ayase Momo's virginity.

Eh, it's okay as long as you don't argue and make much drama on the internet. Fanfics, doujins, shipping animation are all different forms of art, and, yes, while there might be questionable content is those (there probably is), all of it still has a place to be.

I know, antis are awful.
"I don't like romanticized rape" or anything doesn't give an excuse to berate them aka threaten them or anything these insane people do.
I also hate sexualized lolis and still don't try to ruin someone's very real life and identity over it lol.

It depends on the ship, most of the time I really could care less but proshipping is when it becomes a problem. Examples include Aqua X Ruby and Sugimoto X Asirpa.
