I just got back into the whole shipping thing and it's bizarre how much anger people invest in fictional couples, or the idea of a couple.
Right??? You'd think people would leave each other's preferences and just agree to disagree, but nah. Of course there has to be a screed on why a ship is bad, bad, bad.
Reminds me of the HP fandom tbh. Although I was never in the fandom the shipping wars between Harry/Hermione and Ron/Hermione pretty much turned me off shipping in general. I recall reading about it a great deal in Fandom Wank. The H/HR ship was even named "Harmony" because apparently the shippers think that Ron/Hermione was too discordant or whatever. Gawd, just remembering all the shit that happened (and all the collateral shit that went down after)... damn.
Honestly, in comparison the shipping debates happening in the Dragon Age fandom right now are like walks in the park compared to the all-scale wars back then.
