whaaaaaaaaat paaaaaaaaaaaairing?!?

[fingalsanteater]

Tinhating means you consider a non-canon pairing canon, right? Or something to that effect? Because I have a few ships like that and I don't even care.

Re: whaaaaaaaaat paaaaaaaaaaaairing?!?

No, I think it means you think two real people are actually in a relationship. Like truly believing that two particular actors (not necessarily the characters they play) are together.

Or maybe you're right and I'm thinking of something else.

Re: whaaaaaaaaat paaaaaaaaaaaairing?!?

I think you're right, in that what you're describing is the classic form of tinhattery. OTOH, you could probably also extend the term to the kind of fans who are so insistent that their ship is canon that when it gets jossed, they propose to take out a full-page ad in the New York Times to tell the author--at length--"You don't truly understand your own canon and you've betrayed your true fans."

Re: whaaaaaaaaat paaaaaaaaaaaairing?!?

[fingalsanteater]

I guess that probably makes sense. I don't think any of my rpf pairings are real, for the record, I just ship them for the lulz.

Re: whaaaaaaaaat paaaaaaaaaaaairing?!?

Considering I believe the fandom use of tinhatting came from the Supernatural fandom and all those psychotic fans who believe the two leads are in a relationship and the wives should die... You're probably right on the money with this.

Re: whaaaaaaaaat paaaaaaaaaaaairing?!?

Tinhatting has been around since before Supernatural. Go looking for stuff on Dom Monaghan and Elijah Wood if you want to see a prime earlier example.

I always thought tin hatting was thinking the actors were together irl?

It originally came from putting tin on your head to keep aliens/the gov't from reading your mind.

Or irradiating you.

It's the fans who insist that the actors or singers are really getting it on or are in love that usually hit this level, but I would say something like Snape wives fit, too.

[(Anonymous)]

I always thought "tinhatting" just referred to making up and/or believing in bizarre theories, like conspiracy theorists who wear tinfoil hats to keep the government and/or aliens from probing their brains. I had no idea it was a shipping thing. I'm as confused as you are, now.

[fingalsanteater]

Yes, that's where the term came from, but it's been applied to fandom. I think it mostly applies to people shipping real people and believing they are really dating, but I though it also applied to people who insisted a non-canon pairing was actually canon as well.
