I have been seeing a lot of posts discussing “why you should not ship XYZ couple” and “why XYZ ship is bad” and “if you ship XYZ you are a bad person,” etc.
Listen, I get it. If you don’t like a ship, you don’t like it. It happens and it’s fine. However, this is a fandom. A unique thing about fandoms is the connection and creation of new ideas from a body of work—and that means that these ideas can be anything! They can be any-damn-thing you want them to be because they are just thoughts that make someone happy! And sometimes these thoughts help in new and exciting things—like self discovery! or like coping with a difficult situation or circumstance! So, if someone wants to ship a couple—they can ship a couple. If someone wants to interpret something in the book/movie/show/source-material in a certain way—they can interpret. Nothing you say or do is going to indefinitely and completely alter someone’s opinions. So, if you don’t like someone’s ideas, art, headcanons, fics, blurbs, etc. that’s fine—just keep scrolling.
Fandoms are inclusive and meant to be a safe space to enjoy things that make one happy. Therefore, just let people be happy in their own little worlds.
