Let's talk about shiping

Shipping is cool, I just let the wild fantasies go wild

I am into straight ships or comedic same sex ships like komi-yamai

I participated in to big ships wars: ichigo-rukia vs ichigo-orihime and hachiko-takumi vs hachiko-nobu

I love the ship in true tears main character-nae, nae is great, best girl

what about you?

I'm just wildly salty as I just read about the homoerotic subtext and lesbians in a pure nakama-power manga whose author practically went on record saying that there is no romance at all in his manga lol. But if without personal, it probably depends on the ships. This often annoys me, but some ships still get pretty personal for me.

Catalano said:

aha I see, I have no problems with extreme shipping, anyone is free to imagine what they want but it's absurd when they attack others for disagreeing with their ships, like what happened in Amanchu (the yurihead translators dropped the manga because their lesbian ship was busted by the mangaka, then proceeded to insult her on her website).

it annoys me. especially annoying when creeps try and play the "homophobic" card when you don't agree with them tainting pure, wholesome relationships with their perverse sexual fantasies.

Shipping is fine. The anime industry is aware of the culture so they regularly add hints in some episodes. Most of the time, the ship never get confirmed, so it's really just a thing that the fans can have fun with and it helps advertising the anime.

You must be a special kind of snowflake if the mere thought of a ship is enough to annoy you.

I feel excitement when I shipping in romance anime. But I do feel annoyed to people who shipping in non romance anime.

Mostly straight.

Never.

one of my favorite shipping in positive way Akagami no Shirayuki-hime.

RobertBobert said:
Do you dislike shiping in non-romantic shows because it detracts from the real themes of the show?

Halqifibrax said:


Yeah something like that, it just whatever but I feel annoyed when people do that. I remember there's guy shipping Oreki and Chitanda in Hyouka, and he say it's bad anime because they don't ended being couple. Like ofc they not ended being couple because it's not romance anime.

RobertBobert said:


Oh if you only knew how it annoys me when people try to sexualize friendships or camaraderie in shonen by stubbornly insisting that any moment of friendship should be perceived as homoerotic, and if there are no characters of the opposite sex in the show, then romance is necessarily "implied" there .

Absurdo_N said:
In my mere opinion, there is nothing wrong with shipping, even if the characters have never spoken, are not part of the same work or hate each other.

Whatever the type of ship.

No, I did not participate.

I remember positively that I shipped Kimihito from Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou with his entire harem.
I don't remember any ships in a negative way, even if I didn't ship them.

It's thing called "marry them all".

I don't have any strong feelings towards it in either direction. But...



...Just saying.

Shipping was supposed to be fun but given how fans are overly obsessed with their ships it gets annoying really quickly and it's the worst when it comes to fujoshis and fudanshis because they are always ready to pull out their homophobic card even after you state your reasons for not liking the ship which doesn't even include stupid reasons like "because they are gay". I specially get into trouble with Yuuram fujoshis a lot and it's even worse on platforms where I'm using Conrad as my avatar because they start stuff saying "eww you're gross, Conrad is his godfather"/"you are shipping incest"/"Conrad is a pedo" meanwhile they ship 82 year old Wolfram who is Conrad's brother with Yuuri who is 15, such amazing logic they have. And these bitches don't back off even after I tell them that I don't see Conrad x Yuuri as romantic. Then comes the LGBT guys who use their sexuality as an excuse to make a non-canon gay ship cannon or even defend abusers/rapists and again the good old homophobia excuse if you don't agree. These shippers have made commenting hell and I always hate receiving notifications since most of them are always from angry fujoshis replying to my comments from years ago. Shipping is one big reason that made me hate Kyo Kara Maoh with a burning passion.

I've also seen people claiming that series like Dr. Stone, Natsume Yuujincho and Terra e... are BL when they are clearly not and these don't even have bait in them, I remember getting downvoted on reddit for saying Natsume Yuujincho is not BL.

Fuck fujoshis/fudanshis

I guess, I ship sometimes but it's almost always pretty obscure and unpopular stuff like Char and Garma from Gundam. I don't really care if the ships are canon or anything though, shipping is kind of boring when you root for the obvious canon like Char and Amuro. Don't really know why some people interpret romantic relationships to be an insult to friendship though, not like you can't be best friends with someone and still be in a romantic relationship with them. Often times you see people argue for platonic same sex relationships, yet you hardly see people argue that relationships between male and female characters are platonic, you never saw anyone fight for Rukia's and Ichigo's "pure" friendship. I suppose obsessions with pure platonic same sex relationships aren't all that different from shipping in my opinion but that's just me, both just feel like people projecting themselves nothing wrong with that though. Not like shippers don't know the best that their ship isn't exactly canon in the canon at the end of the day.
