Understandable to some extent.

It sucks when you can't find anything for your pair. I know shipping Zuko/Mai, I was so disappointed at how many Zuko/Katara fanfics there were. I understood WHY it happened -- Zuko was the most popular male and Katara was the most popular female -- but you still felt like you were missing out.

As long as you're not harassing anyone, though, I don't see anything wrong with admitting that you're jealous/hate a pair for being more popular.

I once hated a pairing, in my last fandom, not just because they were more popular than my OTP but because I just didn't get it.

It didn't help that my OTP had a lot of canon interaction while my hated pairing, who also contained one of my OTP's members, had no interaction at all in canon. And my hated pairing turned up all the time even in fics that weren't about them or labeled for it. They were one of those 'pair the spares' pairings I particularly hate, but somehow they'd got a firm hold on fanon.

There was nothing wrong in theory with admitting my hate to this pairing. I just couldn't bring myself ever to do so.

Some people get crazy angry at even a hint that their favoured pairing might not be to everyone's taste. I kept that hate inside me for a year, which wasn't healthy either.

Ugh. That's happened for me before. There are some pairings I can understand why they are popular, but some get so huge for no reason while ships with more basis are ignored.

I usually don't hate on ships but the only time I feel frustrated is when a ship is popular and I can't understand why.

usually I like my little ships, but I managed to hop on the big one for my newest fandom. There's like, one person that seems to be loudly against it and I can understand their frustration, they ship one half with someone else, but when they're tagging "I just saw x ship and threw up in my mouth" and "I'm hoarding x username so you can't use it" I'm like ????? why are you trying to start wank on purpose?

[(Anonymous)]

That has happened in my fandom too. Most of my ships until now have been rare pairs, but for the first time I ship the fandoms biggest ship and it's a lot of peoples default ship too. There are a few haters who really stand out and they are ridiculously confrontational about it. Even worst is that this fandom doesn't have any ship wars to begin, so they are just trying to start drama on their own.

I know it's frustrating when your ship doesn't get as much as another ship you don't like, but it's pretty childish to try and pick fights about it.

I was just searching the tags of my popular ship the other day and I occasionally run across the post that says the popular ship is nothing special and their rare pair deserves to take it's place.

This popular ship in particular has a lot of canon basis and their rare pair doesn't have much interaction and the stuff it does have wasn't particularly significant enough for lots of people to jump onboard. Yet, they act so offended why their ship is not as popular.

Everyone is free to ship what they want, but I don't understand why people think their specific tastes need to be everyones tastes and then act so hostile towards the popular ship, even when said popular ship has an understandable reason for being popular.
