Kitty/emma for the ship game
1. Honestly the bar for me to *not* ship something is very high, like I can count my "would never ship" ships much easier than I can count the ones I do ship. What compels me about them is that they're the predatory lesbian trope, except the predatory woman white and blonde, and the woman being preyed on is Jewish and canonically queer. It's a really fascinating deconstruction of the trope, and even though their relationship is toxic and icky at times, it *interesting* and I love seeing it in action.
2. My favourite thing about the ship is how longstanding it is, they've had a weird dynamic ever since Kitty was introduced. I also love the way Emma's names for Kitty have evolved, from "kitten" to "Kate" to "Katherine".
3. I don't really know that I have an 'unpopular' opinion because the ship isn't really that big, I mean I guess just shipping it is unpopular because it's problematic 🤷♂️
