I know this isn’t Star Wars related, but I started rewatching Attack on Titan recently and the memories of the Levi x Eren ship started fueling my hatred for it because of Eren being 14/15 and Levi being like 30
And everyone just thought this ship was normal and not at all weird or gross in anyway
I was 14 and running a hate blog on the ship because I dealt with /stuff/ happening to me by someone who was in their 30’s and I loved the show and wanted to love the fandom but I kept getting triggered by the ship and thinking that people would just think that a 14/15 ye old hooking up with a 30 yr old is normal
And I just had to get that off my chest to someone who hasn’t posted spoiler of the show, because I stopped watching around season 4
But since we’re on the subjects of ships, are there any ships that you just..... hate with a burning passion?
I’ve only ever watched the first three episodes of Attack on Titan, but let me just say, from the bottom of my heart: gross.
Seriously, people in fandom can just be really fucking gross and I can completely understand getting triggered. That being said, I’m glad you’re (hopefully) not running a hate blog any more.
It couldn’t have been good for you, and while I can understand the impulse to want to make your hatred known and vent your frustrations, stewing in something that gives you negative feelings doesn’t help in the long run. Better to block and not engage, especially when it comes to fandom stuff. People who ship characters together aren’t being logical, no matter what the ship is. Some people who ship characters can be more reasonable, but it’s more of a person to person situation.
As for ships that I hate with a burning passion, I’ve made no secret for my utter and complete hatred of Reylo.
The ship and shippers by extension actively destroyed what could have been an interesting trilogy of films be deciding to emphasis the neo-nazi over the ACTUAL SECOND PROTAGONIST Finn.
I can go on a rant for days about how Dramione is a really toxic ship, and people who ship them are just using Hermione as a self-insert character and should just make cringe OCs like the rest of us. But even something like that didn’t actually hurt the media the fanfiction was taken from. Reylos with their racists accusations towards John Boyega and their vocal insistence on Kylo Ren’s redemption, influenced the trajectory of the film, not helped by having such a shit writer like Abrams pen the last movie with his Mancrush Monday on Adam Driver.
I just...there is a reason I’ve blocked the Reylo tag.
I could make a big hate blog about Reylo and fill it for days with analysis and memes, but I won’t. I don’t have time for it and it’s frankly exhausting. So, I’m going to ignore it and stay in the part of fandom that makes me happy. At a certain point, it’s the only thing you can do and still stay sane.
