And before someone accuses me of "pandering to the right", I am literally a social democrat. I support numerous progressive policies and ideals and I think an egalitarian society would be really useful where I live (Canada). I greatly admire the Nordic Model and what it's done for nations like Norway, Denmark and Finland. I just don't support ethnic cleansing and antisemitism disguised as a progressive cause. If you're more interested in killing and assaulting Jews and destroying an entire nation than providing aid to those who need it, kindly fuck off.

Do people even realise that the "Zionism is settler colonialism" narrative was quite literally created by the Nazis? Or that most of the other anti-Zionist narratives were created by the KGB and the Soviets during the 1960s?

And people wonder why I don't support the "Free Palestine" movement. It's because of people who believe shit like that.

Admittedly not the biggest Stydia fan, but I'd still take it any day of the week over St*rek. I mean, there's so many cool ideas for ships in Teen Wolf and yet the most popular one is a man in his 20's and a teenager who barely even liked each other. Lydia and Stiles have their issues but are a hell of a lot better than St*rek. Also, McMartinSki forever.

You know what's a major red flag in regards to ships? When the fans of a certain pairing heavily favour one character and then bash the other relentlessly while pretending to care about them when they only view them as a prop/trophy for the other character who's their fave.

And you know what's a green flag? When the fans love both characters involved wholeheartedly and want the best for them regardless of any flaws they might have.

And you know what I've noticed? This type of thing occurring in three certain fandoms, involving ships I both love and hate.

I'm honestly glad I finally left the hellhole known as DeviantArt for good, which went from being one of the most well-respected art sites on the web to 4chan 2.0.

Who had Harmione shippers going to war with MovieFlame in the year 2025? Anyone? Anyone?

Calling us losers when all we did was point out how he lied, removed context to fit his narrative, and showed that he has clear bias over canon pairings. That’s all we did.

Let’s see if he can put up better arguments this time. Doubt it.

[swfan144]

He's the loser if he's going to whine and complain about an actually excellent non-canon ship we happen to prefer to his bad canon pairings. All this shows is that he's even more of a petty asshole than before.

[swfan144]

Here is my DND alignment chart for HP shippings, part 3(The Evil).

Lawful Evil: Romione. Yeah, people are going to be up in arms about this one. They're arguably the main canonical pairing in the series and there's a good number of (annoying) people who will defend it to their dying breath, but I can't stand them as a couple. Ron's an alright character despite occasional annoying moments and I love Hermione, but both are at their worst when together. Ron becomes a cross between the entitled "nice guy" trope and a straight-up asshole when he's around her, and Hermione becomes highly condescending and petty when around him and often treats him like a child. You can count the genuinely positive moments between them on one hand. People say that "he changed" but how can you actually believe that when he used a pick-up artist's book on her which is manipulative behavior and when they're married, he uses a spell on his driving instructor. Overall, screw this ship, it's the evil Empire to Harmony's Rebel Alliance but without the good ending. As for Hinny, I considered including them here but decided they're more "Lawful Impure", as they're not a horrible pairing, just a really badly written and pointless one.

Neutral Evil: This one's a tie between Drarry and Dramione. This one shouldn't need much of an explanation. Both ships are awful and extremely toxic, and they both involve a bully being shipped with their victim. Draco constantly insults and belittles both Harry and Hermione, calls Hermione racial slurs, makes fun of Harry's mother, etc. And it's not like he gets much better anyways, since the only reason he wasn't fighting for Voldemort was so he and his family wouldn't be hunted down and murdered, which is a pretty selfish reason that only cements him as a coward. Rowling very well could have done something cool with him, she could've easily turned him into the franchise's Zuko, but instead she reinforces the status quo that Slytherins cannot be anything other than assholes. Regardless of this, both ships have huge fanbases that get very defensive if you point out all the many problems with them. While they do suffer from backlash due to said issues, both are still popular enough(even some canon shippers are tolerant of them) to keep them out of the next alignment, which is...

Chaotic Evil: Any ship involving either Harry or Hermione with an adult Death Eater(e.g. Tomarry, Snarry, Snamione, Bellamione). This needs no explanation. If you ship any of these, seek immediate therapy because you guys are a bunch of sickos. These ships are almost universally hated and for good reasons, too, which earns them the much-deserved distinction of this alignment.

Here is my DND alignment chart for HP shippings, part 2(The Neutral).

Lawful Neutral: Remadora. This is a canon ship that quite well-liked, but personally I'm not crazy about it. The potential is certainly there, but the execution isn't that great. The two had hardly any interaction up until the end of HBP, and while I get that Rowling had to cut corners since the whole thing as written from Harry's POV, that doesn't excuse the lack of effort put into them as a couple. I don't hate this pairing as they do have very compatible personalities and do seem like a solid match but the fact that Rowling basically just threw them together doesn't work for me.

True Neutral: Haphne. This one is definitely one of the pairings in the Harry Potter fanfiction universe. I don't have much to say about it other than I think it's fine. It's a harmless crackship that I don't care about one way or the other and that seems to be the general attitude towards it within the fandom as a whole. Therefore, it lands here, along with some other ships like Charry.

Chaotic Neutral: Jegulus. To be honest, I used to really dislike this pairing, but now I just feel apathetic about it. It's another harmless crackship that I don't hate, but don't really like either. What I do know about it, though, is that when it blew up, it sent the whole fandom into a tailspin. There was tons of arguments online on whether it was good or bad, tiktoks about it, headcanons, and overall sheer chaos. As for me, it's meh. It lands here with Drinny.

[swfan144]

Here is my DND alignment chart for HP shippings, Part 1 (The Good):

Lawful Good: Bleur/Marthur. These are generally regarded as the best canon couples in the series, and I see no reason to disagree with that. They're both wholesome, decently written, fairly realistic pairings that make sense and have some great moments, and have very few dissenters. Thus, they have this alignment. Jily would also qualify here.

Neutral Good: Wolfstar. A very well-liked non-canon pairing which does have its dissenters(whom are mostly canon purists), but has a strong enough following to keep them out of the next alignment. It's also a great ship, considering the excellent chemistry they have and their close friendship which could easily be interpreted as romantic, to the point where many a fan believed they were intentionally written as a couple. I feel Huna and Deamus would also qualify for this alignment

Chaotic Good: HARMONY/HARMIONE, full stop, all the way through. An absolutely fantastic pairing of two great and very important characters who are ride or die for each other and have tons of natural chemistry and even has the author's approval and for sure should've been endgame, but it's also a pairing that has quite a few undeserved dissenters amongst the fandom, mostly amongst canon shippers who feel threatened by it as it directly contradicts canon and causes lots of chaos and infighting within the fandom.

[swfan144]

I don't think there's a single romantic ship in Star Wars that makes my blood boil more than Obikin. It works well as a BROTP and really well as part of a BROT3 with Ahsoka, but romantically it's a HUGE no. Obi-Wan's an amazing character, so why on earth are you making him into a child groomer?

[swfan144]

Note to HP fandom: Just because Harry and Ginny have a cookie-cutter, bland, shallow snoozefest of a relationship does not mean that he should be with Draco.

[swfan144]

I'm sick and tired of b*dk stans not only taking zero responsibility for their awful actions (mass blocking Horikoshi on twitter just because IzuOcha, an actual great ship, became canon, sending him death threats, doxxing people who dislike their ship and calling them homophobic even if they support the LGBT community, saying that 431 was fake and ai-generated just because it didn't fit their dumb headcanons, shitting on Deku just because he FINALLY stood up for himself), but going as far as VICTIM BLAMING IzuOcha shippers even though all we've been doing is celebrating that our ship finally happened and rightfully calling them out on their bullshit.

[swfan144]

I don't ship Anisoka in the slightest, but if someone shits on that pairing (or Rexsoka, an actually great ship that's NOT a proship despite what some fans think) while at the same time shipping Obikin- a pairing that's far worse considering Obi-Wan literally RAISED Anakin- I'm going to call you a hypocrite, because that's exactly what you are.
