Yeah I don’t personally ship any of those ships or ever see them getting together romantically but at the end of the day it’s just meant to be fun and not taken seriously. Their popular ships because these characters are apart of the main cast and in fandom culture the main cast is almost ALWAYS going to be shipped in some way even if the media itself isn’t romantic. People see a fun dynamic or see them acting cute together and run with it i’ve just learnt to not let it bother me because it’s not really harming anyone. As for the fact some of the characters like women a lot of people head-canon that person as bisexual so yeah. I also find shipping kpop idols really weird though because unlike something stupid like bakudeku they are real people and I find it really odd
you are taking fanon ships in fiction wayyy to seriously, like the person above me has said- shipping is just for fun, we know they'll never be real anyways, we're just entertaining our delusions (can't speak for those insane/crazy shippers who take it too far tho)
i agree w your take on shipping irl ppl, that's taking it too far and it just shows you're a fetishizer through and through and need to touch grass + get a goddamn life. this is what we all should REALLY be concerned about.
I think it's just annoying how toxic fans can be, it's like they force their opinions onto you all the time even though it's a fanon ship.
example when I say I don't ship these characters romantically and then you get called homophobic
yeah this makes sense. Just annoying dealing with the super toxic shippers
I think it's best to ignore those toxic fans, most of them consist of pubescent 10-14 yos who know jack shit about the real world and plus, there will always be haters who would disagree w your opinion and shit on you for it, my advice- like I said before- is just to not interact w them, you're just gonna waste your time, energy and emotions in engaging them
totally fair I hate toxic shippers as well (￣∇￣")
as much as I love BL, I can't ship characters that haven't been confirmed to be cannon or queer.
I really hate how 2 men cant just be friends without it becoming over sexualised.
examples:
Gojo x Geto
Deku x Bakugo
Naruto × Sasuke
it's like people don't value platonic friendships
Naruto has an actual wife and people will still say his in love with Sasuke, because he tried to rescue his friend. Deku clearly has a crush on Ochaco and if I had to assume Gojo and Geto Sexuality it's giving Aromatic Asexual..I don't think they care about marriage or dating.
it's even worse with the way kpop idols are shipped..
