Rant
Spoilers below!!!!
I really wish some people would just stop.
If people ship Yuki and Tohru, let them ship Yuki and Tohru, and stop saying Kyo and Tohru is the ‘superior ship’ same with Yuki and Machi. That’s YOUR opinion, let people ship what they want.
If you ship Kyo/Tohru and Yuki/Machi more great! There is plenty of Kyo and Tohru shippers on the internet, as well as Yuki and Machi, you don’t have to bring down other shippers at all to ship what you want (it doesn’t even matter anyway since those ships are canon) not only that, people can interpret media how they want.
And for crying out loud, stop with the whole ‘he loved her like a mother’ thing as a point for not shipping them. We GET it, stop constantly bringing it up as a reason not to ship it, not only are you spoiling people who haven’t finished Fruits Basket, you are just making some people in the fandom feel uncomfortable, let people ship what they want, that is the whole point of SHIPPING.
PS: Just to make it clear: I am NOT talking about the friendly people on the internet who have been respecting others' opinions. I am talking about people who have been saying comments like this: ‘Kyoru is the superior ship’ ‘He loved her like a mother’ ‘Yuki was never even an option’ ‘Kyo is superior’ ‘People who ship Yuki/Tohru in general have bad taste’ (they know who they are...probably anyway...)
As said before on a different post: I know not every Kyoru shipper or Yuchi shipper says things like this, there are many people out there who are so so friendly, and I appreciate you guys, that respect other peoples’ ships and opinions, I am just addressing this for the people that are not.
Why am I even bringing this up?
Just been seeing a lot of people on the internet saying this or something similar, and I’m just tired of it and had to say something.
I try not to let it get to me, but after seeing it everywhere it just hurts.
I think it’s time to delete TikTok again.
Honestly, some people are just so toxic, it’s not just TikTok it’s other sources of media also, and it just makes me sad.
It makes me really not want to like the fandom of Fruits Basket even though I know there are many people out there who do respect ships, and other people’s opinions.
I really shouldn’t let a few bad apples spoil my fun but here I am again, ranting about it on tumblr...
Thank you to the people who do respect other peoples’ ships and opinions and try to support each other, I really appreciate you.
