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

[Slamerella]

Well, guess you're all getting a twofer for Nintendo fans!

Karbuitt is an artist who draws a lot of Viridi x Pit art, including pornographic art. However, she also is a very adamant anti Pit x Palutena fan.

Pictured: Viridi with Pit (left) and Palutena with Pit (right)
Okay, so what's the deal here? Well...

She's currently threatening her life over Nintendo VS, the official competitive Nintendo account, posting an image set of some characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in some Valentine's festivities.

One being the picture above where Pit gives Palutena a Lip's Stick, an item that's a magic wand shaped like a lotusflower. A cute image that she intensely hated. Because she really hates Palutena being paired with Pit.

Archive of her twitter here (the screencap has missing parts that are not in the archive that i sadly could not get, because she deleted them. And yes that means she's still alive)

Other tidbits in the spoiler.

Maybe many of you don't believe me

but I'm laughing quite hard right now.

This is some glorious sperging right here. This privileged little girl with a loving family, friends, and good grades is SUICIDAL because her NOTP appeared together in some bonus promo art. Which clearly means they're canon even though promo art mean jack shit. I mean:



Official promo art. Is it canon? Fuck no. Shit, the Mario image has Mario PLUS Yoshi and Luigi leaving stuff for Peach and I'm pretty sure Luigi/Peach and Yoshi/Peach aren't canon.

This is just hilarious. Beautiful. Best Valentine's Day gift ever. I've never laughed harder at a shipper meltdown.

Prepare to laugh harder.
It's not even promo art. It's an in game screenshot obtained in real gameplay.

Lol citing Super Smash Brothers as canonical for characters.

“I think its so funny that shounen anime creators are like “this is Hetero” yet fail so badly at incorporating female characters that the only emotionally riveting character relationships are between the men, to the point where every interaction is laced with homoeroticism”

These two "girls" are probably ugly or just barely average in looks, flatchested, not very charming, and bitter as fuck because the big-boobed girl gets all the attention.

Moving the goalposts already, I see. These misogynistic bitches barely accept the girls in these canons but then they re-start bitching because EW HET IS BORING. Probably while fingering themselves to shipping two guys just for being pretty together.

(I also hate the "WOMEN WRITE FEMALE CHARACTERS FLAWLESSLY" bullshit. Just read a trashy shoujo/josei smut manga and you'll be disabused from that ridiculous and sexist shit asap. Mayu Sjinjo )

"I'll pretend to give a shit about the icky girl and her development when all I want is MY BOY to be paired up with the character *I* want for him.!!!!"

They're really, really bothered that Momo might or might not become Todoroki's girlfriend with time, huh? They should just stop pretending to care for Momo's role in the story when they blatantly want her out so Todoroki will fuck Midoriya or another guy. And I say it as a TodoDeku fan who adores Momo and is sick of this hypocrisy.

There are many other "goldies" in that trainwreck of a thread but I'm already bored with the same stupid "arguments" of yore. I "love" to see how modern m/m fangirls are as pathetically terrified of the icky fictional pussy as the oldschool yaoi fangirls from the 2000's.

 

[friedshrimp]

to give them credit growing up in boys aimed media most times the female character was just generic and pathetic and had no life outside of being the damsel or the girlfriend. anyone remember Kairi from Kingdom Hearts? Yaoi is overrated but the alternative in this context isn't that good either.

And yet these "feminists" are petty bitches even against the well-written female characters that they claim to love just so they can either favor the yaoi-zable pretty boys or keep claiming that NO ONE CAN WRITE FEMALE CHARACTERS THE WAY *I* WANT THEM TO, GAWDZ.

Heck, the examples above have the fangirls being snide about even FREAKING WINRY ROCKBELL from Fullmetal Alchemist for what seems to be no other reason than "GIRL IN A SHONEN STORY, EW EW". So much for "well-written female characters", huh - even those "well-done girls" aren't good enough for them, because "goopy vagina ewwwwww"

Dumbasses will always find things to nitpick about with ladies, but a male character could be the literal doofus in the corner kissing his muscles and having no real role in the story and suddenly ALL THE HEADCANONS ALL THE META ALL THE SLOW BURN COFFEE SHOP LOVE STORIES about the fucker.

"Boys can't be bros with other boys, they're all gay for each other but have to follow society's 'status quo'."

But that's how I've interpreted this tweet.

Personally I thought Windy was a horrible character that didn't fit in FMA nor really needed to be there. I liked when she was used for contrast, a close childhood friend pushed aside with overly close brothers but beyond that I couldn't stand her. Her actions were often way too cartoony and I generally found her obnoxious and one worst parts of the series. Often included to storylines where she made little to no sense and served exactly that much purpose. The fact she was Ed's unnecessary love intrest was just extra point against her. Hawkeye was way way better as far strong women are conserned and her relationship with Mustang is much more interesting.

Still I get your point and I don't understand yaoi fangirls with this. Sure my OTP turning out not being canon one way or another can be a bummer but even during my worst yaoi fangirl periods I didn't hate canon girls for that. If I hated characters it was on their own merits, shipping irrelevant. It's not like I couldn't enjoy my cute boylove anyway as fanfiction doesn't have to care all parts of canon.

Has there ever been sperging over a gay character being shipped straight? I mean vice versa happens all the time, but I don't think I've ever heard of a gay character being turned straight in shipping.

Some Utena fans shit their pants in a rage if you pair Juri with any guys, even Miki who she canonically flirts with. Plus the whole Sen/Shi vs. KunZoi blowup in Sailor Moon fandom, where 90s Zoisite being gay meant every Zoisite should be gay, no exceptions.

I see, I see. Any other examples you can think of?

 

[friedshrimp]

Korra and Asami after the ending? I'm guessing some innocent Makorras got shit on for daring to ship lesbian Avatar Queen with an icky dude.

Steven Universe too, people liked shipping Pearl with guys like the Rick and Morty dude and peopled flipped their lid over it.

Also in Les Mis, people get super offended if you shipped "ace icon" Enjolras with anyone who wasn't part of the pretty boy Les Amis de la ABC club, but seeing as how the novel was written in the XIX century, any gay subtext is fully on the readers.

So now that Quintessential Quintuplets is over, any word on any shippers crying their eyes out or screaming for the mangaka's head? My brother seemed rather peeved by the cop-out ending, from how he explained it, but he's not a very resourceful person.

Spoiler

From what I gathered, basically, the mangaka wanted an ending where "everyone is happy" in which the main dude wakes up from a dream because he was remembering his wedding that totally didn't happen. Least that's what the scanlation translator says:

However, this doesn't mean anything because the dude had already chosen his waifu (or was that a dream too? Meaning the ending chapters aren't real?) and that's what got people riled up enough to burn their manga.

 

[Trombonista]

I hate to be that guy, but really, like 90% of crazy shippers are girls.

Most guys don’t give a shit about ship drama.

I can only remember one guy who was crazy about shipping. He went by Shirohane/Hiirowing, and he was obsessed with Sasuke/Naruto and hated Sakura. He also once claimed that shipping drama ruined his health.

 

[MysticMisty]

where 90s Zoisite being gay meant every Zoisite should be gay, no exceptions.

It's not even 90's Zoisite, it's completely exclusive to the 90's anime. The manga hinted that in the past he was in a relationship with Sailor Mercury. And Kunzite in the past loved Sailor Venus.

Didn't Dakari-King Mykan claim the same thing, too, or at least that hearing about Terra of Teen Titans causes him to have anxiety attacks? What a bunch of faggots.
