Diseased Shippers, Anti-Shippers, and Shipping Wars - When fictional characters fucking each other is a political statement

Someone needs to take that term away from the fandom. They also used it for Allura, when her fate was 100% the opposite: she was fully fleshed out, had been shown to be the self-sacrificial type several times in the past, deliberately chose to ascend to a higher plane of existence to mend the realities, and while her boyfriend cried he didn't go on a rampage but instead chose a peaceful life with his family-aka the thing he missed most while in space.

It aint fridging if the lady willingly sacrifices herself.

And lol, did people really think Loki was gonna redeem himself? I know the character is meant to be sympathetic in the movies but he was also a villain, iirc, so...yeah.

It's not unexpected, given
He was responsible for helping resolve the infinity stone crisis in the comics

Aha, I see. I'm not into MCU, I only know Loki through memes and osmosis. Plus in at least half my fandoms people latch onto unrepentant villain types and obsess over them getting redemption arcs.

There's a recent fight over whether real person fiction is ethical or not. I was honestly surprised that Louis and Harry of One Direction stopped being friends because of that kind of fic.

Whoa, really? That's really shitty.

For the linkphobic: Some imbeciles ship Adam Driver and Daisy Ridler so hard, they've been harassing and trying to doxx Adam and his real-life wife Joanne.

Dear God, how many of these things (they can hardly be called people) are from the Supernatural fandom, do you reckon?

In the fandom it's a bit unclear if it was actually a rps who doxed Adam or a rumor made up by antis to make Reylos look bad. Regardless even if a RPS shipper did dox him the antis are definitely trying to use this to their full advantage despite the fact that most Reylos are pretty squicked by RPS and find the idea of anyone doxing Adam for any reason appauling.

I've only had fleeting encounters with Daisy/Adam shippers and they're both creepy as fuck (like any RPS shippers) and not very tolerated in most Reylo circles. I hear there are a bunch on 4chan though for some reason.

Flashbacks to LOTR RPS days. I think it was Orlando Bllom's wife or girlfriend who got hate slung at her? And the Dan/Emma creepiness from Harry Potter fandom, I remember an actual manip where Emma was made to look pregnant.

An entitled Stucky shipper corners and harasses two of the MCU script writers over her ship being sunk, then runs off to Twitter and giggles with her fellow shippers about it.

BONUS: She throws a full-blown tantrum about it on some nerd site. Archive.is doesn't like the site, sadly.

Holy shades of "KEITH AND SHIRO STOPPED BEING FRIENDS IN S8 AND ARE TOTAL STRANGERS NOW" just because they weren't glued to each other's sides. Why do I get the feeling Steve and Bucky did interact but the writer's framing it as "they're not friends anymore because Steve had a life outside Bucky"?

This was already posted on the VLD thread, but considering how much this "article" screeches about Keith not being the Gay Dude, how it only makes sense to pair him with Shiro aka the Canon Gay Dude AND the last paragraph shits all over Acxa aka the girl that Keith could've ended up with, it fits here too.

That BZ "writer" should just admit that they hate when an icky girl approaches a guy she wants to be with another guy.

Despite the rumors, Kacxa wasn't even supposed to be 100% true canon originally. It was an idea tossed around, but they had to abandon it cause SYeun had movie commitments and Keith had to go AWOL. People got so threatened when S7 had Acxa show affection for Keith, who...smiled at her. And saved her life. Oh my God, that totally means they're married now! :stress:

They sound like walking homophobic stereotypes brought to life, oh my God. Because I remember gay guys being stereotyped as catty little bitches who cling to the (straight) guys they like and hissing at any icky girls sho dare get near them... not unlike this BZ writer, who throws a mighty tantrum because Keith was neither the Canon Gay Guy nor the Canon Love Interest.

Also, “selfish intents”... BITCH, THE SHOW IS THEIRS. NOT YOURS. THEY WERE THE ONES WRITING IT, NOT YOU. Their show, their rules.

I saw this on the Random Tumblr thread, but it's related to shipping and ~queer fans~ throwing tantrums so it belongs here too.

How the straight agenda ruined 'Avengers: Endgame'

Marvel's obsession with straight romance is why several characters wound up with clumsy endings.

Did these little shits really think their precious Stucky would actually be canon? I love how shipper retards blame the writers for their own failure to be realistic about fictional romances.
