Re: Things you hate about shipping

[intrigueing]

The attitude that there is some kind of threshold on love where, if you attain a certain depth, you automatically develop sexual/romantic feelings out of nowhere just 'cause (basically, treating romantic love as a question of scale rather than type.) This is insulting to deep friendship/family bonds, but more than that, it makes the romantic relationship in question feel really immature and inauthentic, like romance is some sort of magic fairy dust drug trip.

Conflating romantic love with the desire to be in a stereotypical white picket fence domestic bliss style romantic relationship and stay in a little bubble, even when the characters are wildly unsuited to it.

Fic/meta whose portrayal of a romantic relationship is so narrowly focused on and obsessed with the sexual aspects (and so obsessed with the idea of 'explaining' everything in canon as sexual tension) that the unintentional implication is that the only reason someone cares about what happens to another person is because they really want to have sex with them and can't do that if the other person is dead. Oops.

This. I don't know how many times I've read a really good, long multi-chaptered fic about characters you'd never think wanted a white picket fence, only to be burned by the characters deciding to settle down and have kids in the last chapter.

Oh, wow. This entire post. Nice way of saying it. It always really bugged me that in shipwars, people were so adamant that their ship is better/more canon because it has more depth than the other pairings/rivalries/friendships.
