Re: Explain X To Me

[a_potato]

My theory, based on how I felt as a young virginal teen and on what I've seen over the years, is that people who get that worked up are living vicariously through their ships. The feeling they get when they think of their ship either crashing and burning or being threatened by another ship is the same feeling that people get when they think of being cheated on or left by a significant other.

I've seen people crazily ship even when they have their own boyfriend or girlfriend, to be honest.

Yeah, that's true. Should've remember the old adage of "my experience isn't everyone's."

Still, I think the feelings probably are very similar. They might also be said to be akin to the way it feels to be challenged on a deeply-held belief. When there are strong emotions behind something, it can hurt just to come across someone who doesn't feel the same way.

No, I think you're right-Only it's more like being addicted to a drug. The mix of pleasurable feelings you get when you ship is much stronger/you get more 'hits' if the couple is canon. Then there's also the people who hate to lose/are just pushing their life onto it. There were a lot of male NS shippers on that narusaku.com sight that flipped their shit and said Sakura was just like their ex-girlfriends/girls that never gave them a chance, how are they supposed to think their 'perfect girl' will ever love them if Naruto can't get his, etcetc.
