| Every time a character commits the cardinal sin of apparently being in the way of said ship, this character gets an unholy amount of hate. It would be one thing to hate a character for being annoying or poorly written, but this reasoning is ridiculous. Why is it a bad thing for any boy/girl to have a crush on of the characters in their ship. For those who don't know: Die for our ship - "A specific character hated for getting in the way of a favored pairing, official or not." Examples of anime fandoms that pulled off this BS: Naruto Bleach Tokyo Ghoul Erased Re Zero |
| I don't like them but it doesn't mean i hate them. Sometimes my fav charcter in a series got into that position but it wont change my opinion at all. |
 |
| I didn't like Ichigo for getting in the way of Zero Two and Hiro, but hate is a word too strong to describe how I feel about her. So yeah, disliking the character is inevitable, but I wouldn't go out of my way to trash her as a character. I understand that she also likes Hiro and that's okay, but she should get a hint already. |
| no more forum pic. that's it. |
| I have nothing against rukia, she's cool and all but she is inferior to Orihime at every category. Still, she was never between them so I guess it was only the fans over exagerrating. |
    |
| yeah, some ichigo x rukia shippers are scary, ngl poor orihime |
| I hate emilia, but that's because she's bland as hell, not because subaru can't stop drooling over her. I also hate subaru for being a cringelord, but he has his moments. this has nothing to do with shipping. the only thing I ship is my dick with the female characters I like. if the mc is into her, good for him I guess? won't stop me from fapping. |

| @LeonhartAugust I don't completely understand the premise of this whole thread. But a Captain holds ultimate responsibility for both their ship and everyone who embarked on it. Which is where the idea of "The captain goes down with the ship" has come from. |

| I do ship my characters but would never go out of my way hating that particular "getting in between" character or the series itself as long as it doesn't bring any harm to the story. Even that Erased ending was something I was completely satisfied with. |

| ?? Why don't you yourself ask those "so many people"? I mean, what can we do about it? I don't care about ships. |

| I'm not into shipping and there are a lot of stuff I don't understand about shipping but imo there's nothing bad with this. It's just an anime. So what if some people hate a character. People are allowed to hate a character if they want to, whatever the reason. What can be considered bad is when fans attack others for liking another ship for exemple since it has an impact on real people. |

| people are weirdly obsessed with shipping |
| Self-insert shippers take their business extremely seriously. |

| I've honestly never seen anyone like that and I've been on internet for 20 years. But people complaining about shippers I do see them everywhere. Mystery. |
| Remember kids, shipping characters doesn't make you gay. It just makes you a moefag, also known as an obnoxious female. |
| So, I know it's not an anime per say, but the Kingdom Hearts fandom was very much like this, and you can still see a lot of the remains of this sort of mentality, even today. A lot of people, back in the day, hated Xion. Not because they didn't like her character, not because they didn't like her design, not because they didn't like her personality. They didn't like her because she got in the way of Axel and Roxas being shipped together. I shit you not. I saw girls say that as the excuse all the time, same with Kairi getting in the way of Sora and Riku. And that remnant of that mentality is still in the fandom on occasion, but only with Kairi. (Hate with Xion over shipping bullshit has gone down drastically.) People hate Kairi quite a bit, and while I don't blame them because Nomura and his writing team treat her like side trash, a lot of people will just come out right and say that they don't like her just because Sora's probably going to be shipped with her, and not Riku. I was never like this, thank God, but I can guess for maybe a few reasons as to why it's like this? 1) They've imparted themselves onto a certain character, meaning that they see themselves as one of the people in the ship so that they can be shipped with their favorite character secondhandedly (which is what I'm pretty sure is the number one top reason tbh and no one wants to admit it). 2) They would rather see gay romance over straight, which I get, yay representation (and I am gay here, I should point that out), but your favorite character could be bisexual for all you know unless otherwise stated-- chill. 3) They care sooooo much for a character that they feel like a mother-- they want what's best for their comfort character-- and that means being put with who they deem the "right" character. "Yes, why should Roxas be with Xion? Axel took care of Roxas, and they've known each other longer, and Axel cared for Roxas a lot a lot. That means that they should be together." Sorry for blabbing for ten hours, but over the course of being in fandoms that are constantly like this, and watching the height of it occur, I have a few ideas as to why I can answer your question. |

| its usually aot and mha fans. usually, their brain hasn't fully developed or their mother either dropped them or did drugs and smoked while they were in the womb |
| That's because most of shipping is basically: the character you relate/project on to the most and the character you want to fuck. That's why people take shipping so personally, because it's a part of themselves in that ship. |
| I have no freaking idea. Ship who you want to ship, y'all! If you can ignore canon for the sake of your ships, you can ignore characters that seemingly "get in their way." It's the same thing. |
 「 I am forever your most devoted believer. 」 |
| I say ship whoever as long as it ain't something creepy like family ships or those with huge age gaps. |

| Love is worth dying for. Not many people realize that apparently it applies to others' love too. |
| It's very normal for people who don't touch grass or someone who is totally a 13 yr old. |
| 2025 might be the year where I will be happy. This year is not happy year. |
| honestly, you can just name a few of this fanbases, like Re:Zero to mention, but most of the time, this generally doesnt happen at least from my perspective. |
| Because some smiles or blushing faces have given them some feelings greater than a boner, which resulted in them consequently selling their left testicle to protecc such things? Anyway, no more snacc for me. Bad, bad @SgtBaitMan. |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| Oh yeah I know what you mean My friend has got into it with a few die hard shippers.. Ships that don't make any sense lol |
 |
| In my circles people just get bored of tropes. A lot of us are just tired of main girl needing to have obligated feelings for main guy. Yes it can work, I've liked SOME myself but most the time it's so drawn out and obnoxious. I know it's gonna always be someone's first series but it feels repetitive. |
