If you concede that two friends' relationship can be easily interpreted in a slashy way, you MUST ship it. The only reason not to ship two BFFs is because you are tragically incapable of realizing how slashy they are, not because you are more interested in friendships, or because you are just not interested in shipping. No, of ~course~ not. Why would ~anyone~ ever find any platonic relationship equally or more appealing than a romantic one if the romantic one is at all possible? Romance trumps all! It really grinds my gears when people treat non-romantic relationships as "incomplete" and shit.

Also, on the flip side, the idea that slashing two characters who barely interact at all because you like their *potential* dynamic is "dumb" and "nonsensical". Uh...why not? What's so wrong with that? In canon, sometimes two characters in a large cast will start out barely interacting, but then become very shippy once they finally do get put in a situation interact. So what's wrong with doing the same thing in fanfic? But everyone seems to sneeringly dismiss these "what if?" slash ships as white cock syndrome, which grinds my gears because I find it incredibly closed-minded. (Technically, this counts for het shipping too, but I usually only see it in slash.)

I agree for both points so much. Just ship and let ship. What other people ship or don't ship romantically, like as platonic friends, or interpret in any way has nothing to do with you (general you) and doesn't affect the canon in any way. Holy shit.

lol fuck both of those attitudes, i'll ship whatever i want and write all the fic i please! people just don't know how to have fun.
