A big issue with the "manga fans like it for the ship-quality" is usually based on people that prefer it now due to EdxWin and/or Royai becoming canon. Or at least leaning towards canon.

Basically, the people that like it better for that reason seem to prefer it because of the concrete pairings, whereas in the show... you can pretty much pair whoever you want.

I can't speak for everyone, but in my experience, anyone that prefers it for ship reasons is only making that claim more recently (after the anime ended.) because of that.

A lot of people also claim to prefer the manga now that the anime is over for reasonings like "What's up with that ending/movie?" and just the simple fact that the anime has been over for so long, and the manga is still going. I have a friend like that, who calls me constantly saying "The new volume is even better than the last!" when I just.. don't see the big deal.

I agree whole-heartedly on your last point though. Preferring the anime seems much more accepted with FMA, and actually.. people that prefer the manga are the ones that seem to get bashed with "You only like it because your OTP is canon." or because it's the "original idea."

I'm not the OP, but.. that's my $1.50, because... it's clearly more than .02

Yeah, and the popularity of the manga against the anime has been a more recent thing, but I have seen a lot of bashing against the anime fans... I'm not actually in the fandom, I'm just a lurker, but it still seems pretty ridiculous for me. I don't mind people liking the manga more, but when claims come up that anime fans just can't see how deep it is, I start to get a little irritated.
