Have you ever had a situation where a canon romantic relationship in a show negatively impacted your enjoyment of the series? Did it felt forced or overshadowed other aspects of the story?

Canon makes ships? How much is the shipping and handling for a Canon Ship? Does it have multi-point autofocus? Micro 4/3 or APS-C?

Opinions are opinions, and differing opinions can co-exist. ๐Ÿ™‚ But I don't do debate, life's too short to spend time debating people.

Harry Potter x Ginny Weasley is the worst ship ever...

It ruined Deathly Hallows for me.

It's obviously Potter x Hermione Granger.

I don't know what the author of the books and creators of the movies were thinking.

@Rhae

I agree, Harry x Ginny is terrible, very terrible.

No. I don't care that much about which 2D drawings bang each other. There are pairings that feel really rushed or not well written, but I rarely watch anything where romance is the main focus, so it doesn't impact my enjoyment that much.

Yes, Yuuri x Wolfram, the so called Royal Couple from Kyo Kara Maoh, the series blatantly romanticizes an abusive relationship and it pisses me off to no end.

People be lying around here, I've seen so many people complain about the ending of Gotoubun no Hanayome.

Personally, I haven't got around finishing Chihayafuru because of the end ship. The ship that I was on was one of the main reasons I watch and tried to read the series. I haven't looked at the series the same way since I learned of the ending.

Not really. Closest one I got is Lulu from FFX. I remember there was this random dialogue option where she asks you if you are into her, and maybe even if you would choose her over the main girl, I can't remember exactly, and yeah if you pick yes she's like "you should date someone your age I'm not a good fit for you".

Bro, imagine having a big tiddy goth in your game, baiting the player to think you can date her, and then she just tells you No. I am actually furious.

All Nana ships are absolutely terrible, for both Nana-girls. The latter part of the show was a torture for me.

Harry x Ginny is not as bad as Hermione x Ron lol. The only ship I would accept was Hermione x Luna.

@Rhae I remember there were some fanfics on the subject - Crazy Little Things comes to my mind, but I think I saw a better (and shorter) one, can't remember the name. I wrote my own back in the days, but never bothered to finish it properly, and not in English ofc.

In quintessential quintuplets and we never learn the only girls i didn't particularly care about won. It's pretty weird to make the character who you invest the least on win.

Same here, but it depends on how done the show is and the way it mesh in the shipping part or aspect.

It definitely did in Kurokami: The Animation. A treacherous bint of a side character managed to snag the main character in the end, and combined with the last episode being a recap, it left the most unpalatable aftertaste you could imagine.

Golden time for sure.

Kouko is an evil manipulative bitch and no one can convince me otherwise. Banri will end up a broken man coming back to Linda after a vicious divorce, mark my words.

Even the way it played out was the dictionary definition of a forced ending

At the very most there has been times that I may disagree with the writer(s) of a story on which characters should have a romantic relationship with but it's not going to ruin the story for me. If you want a good example of people who do have this problem just go to twitter.

My hate for the Weasleys knows no bounds. I used to be a huge Hermione simp, but I have no respect for anyone who loves a Weasly. I guess I'm still bitter after all these years. I certainly was one of those nerds who waited in line, under the rain, to buy the newly released books at midnight.

Objectively speaking, I can maybe understand the Hermione x Ron thing (I still hate it and think it's lazy writing) on the basis of the old, stupid trope of "opposites attract". Potter x Ginny never made any sense at all.

The Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite book of the series. I suspect one of the many reasons is that Ron is mostly absent when it matters.

The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.

They made this "Bumblebee" ship canon without any build up and despite those two having no romantic chemistry. So, when authors decided to commit to it, everything felt forced and made little sense, especially since "exploring" their relationship consumed precious screentime.

ruined may be a bit too forceful of a word, but i definitely felt dissapointed when yotsuba in quintuplets won.
it felt forced and seemed like negi focused on hiding yotsuba identity as the bride then let her and fuutarou relationship flow naturally.
or maybe the execution was a simply lacking.
