“saLarry” and ship problems in the sally face fandom.
I know I’m gonna get alot of hate on this post but this has to be said.
Please read until the end.
There has been alot and alot of fans in the sally face fandom who are against the idea of shipping sal and larry together
Claiming that they are “brothers”
People can ship whoever they want without having anyone annoying them and their art/edits or whatever they make about the ship.
As long as they’re not offending anyone, and as long as the ship isn’t illegal or disgusting For example : adult x kid
If you don’t like the ship that’s completely understandable. Just don’t go to people’s art and posts and spread negative comments or say rude stuff just because they ship something you don’t like.
Let’s talk abot saLarry for a moment shall we?
Sal and larry are NOT brothers.
They’re not related by blood, nor were they raised together by the same parents
Sal’s father and larry’s mother ( henry and lisa ) married each other when sal and larry were 17-22.
Which means that they were technically ADULTS when their parents married each other. They shouldn’t be responsible for their individual parent’s relationship especially if they were already dating beforehand. They shouldn’t feel the need to act like “brothers” just because their parents decided to get together when they were adults!
Not to mention that sal and larry did not get raised by the same people or legally adopted by the other’s parent.
So technically they have no sibling relationship between them whatsoever. Either it was blood relation / adoption / or raised under the same roof.
Not to mention that steve gabry ( the creator of the game : sally face ) said that he has no problem at all with any ship in the game. as long as it’s appropriate. And he doesn’t mind people shipping saLarry together. Because they are not real brothers.
There’s a tweet of steve replying to a fan about the saLarry problem. You can go check it out by yourself on his twitter.
And that’s his opinion on shipping the characters in general. You can check it out on this link :

So basically there’s nothing wrong with shipping them at all.
No one has the right to write any negative comments or spread any negative energy in the shipper’s posts or arts or whatsoever.
As long as the shipper isn’t problematic and didn’t give you any harm. Respect them and their work.
If you don’t like the ship or the content they’re posting, simply unfollow them, block them, or click “not interested”. This way you’ll not see any content you don’t like to see and on the other hand, the creator will have the freedom to post and ship whoever they want without having anyone judging them for no reason.
