As of November 23 2020 the g/rumps have changed their stance on shipping.
In the video Mario 35 D/an brings it up at the 23:10 mark.
Now, they were specifically talking about explicit fanart and fanfics and coming across it or fearing people they know finding it, much like what happened with Mar/kip/lier and Jac/ksep/tic/eye.
This is what D/an said: “To anyone drawing pornographic pictures or writing sex fanfiction about me and A/rin or B/rian or anyone else, we’re not mad at you, just saying I would be real grateful if you took it down, stop doing that because it makes me feel really bad.”
and a later follow up (they were laughing during this part)
A/rin: "But when you involve a wiener."
D/an: "Yeah as soon as wieners appear that changes everything."
A/rin: "Changes the vibe."
D/an: "Changes the vibe of the whole room."
I’m not going to tell you that sfw shipping is okay because I don’t know if they meant that as well but just in case, I’m going to just stop in general.
Polygrumps has been a thing since 2012 and over the years the various gru/mps and employees that have come and gone have said whether they were okay or not okay with shipping.
Those of us in the fandom made sure to ask permission and did our best to keep it out of the main tags. It’s been eight years and now the show is back down to two grumps and they have given us an update. How you choose to interpret their words is up to you.
If you have n/sfw content, I suggest cleaning up your blogs and user lock or private any fics or art on ao3. What I don’t suggest is going on a massive deletion spree like when D/an revealed his relationship with Ash/ley. At least give others a few days to download your fics.
I know this is a bummer, especially for this year but we had our fun.
Now for the next part.
We still have many fictional characters related to the gr/umps that can be shipped. While they were specific about explicit content, they also talked about how they are real people with feelings. (we all know that and that’s a separate issue most people don’t understand about shippers. shipping real people but it’s not really them.)
In the N/S/P universe we have:
Dan/ny Sex/bang
Nin/ja Bri/an
Ego/raptor (yes this is a character ever since A/rin dropped the name in the g/rumps title screen and he now only appears with Star/bomb)
A/rin Neverbone
Samurai Ba/rry
Mort/ermer (i’m iffy on this one since she wasn’t named but appears in videos and S/uzy pretty much dropped her youtube personas)
We still have everyone in the Good Game Universe.
We could even revive the Dream Daddy shipping.
We also have the Game Gyaru universe.
Daniella
Arina
Rose
Brina/Brianna (is that Bri/an’s gyaru name?)
So, it’s not the end of the world.
