42. Thank you. Thank you. I like the pairing a lot, but I am so tired of

"OMG!! I SHIP AXEL/ROXAS AND THE KH FANDOM PERSECUTES ME!!!1"

and...

"ZOMG!! I HATE AXEL/ROXAS AND KH FANDOM HATES ME BECAUSE I AM A SPESHEL SNOWFLAKE!!!1"

every time any discussion about it comes up. Given that the KH fandom is batshit anyway, this shouldn't bother me so much, but for the love of strawberry cheesecake and fluffy bunnies people stop fucking whining.

Welcome :) Ah, KH. Other people have SasuNaru vs NaruSasu, we have fans who hate other fans of the same pairing, because in this fandom, you're just not a sane fan unless your ship is too obscure for the plebes or unless you diss those stupid fanbrats who besmirch your pairing at least once a day.

mmm.... I sorta kinda ship Meg/Leon (no, I don't know how I came up with that either). How sane would THAT make me according to those people? O=

Which people? I'm not saying you can't ship rare pairings (now that is pretty damn rare :D), I sail a white-flag Alice/Namine myself. I only take issues with people who piss on a popular pairing like Axel/Roxas and its fan solely because their raging superiority complex is butthurt by how much attention it gets compared to their own ship. Yeah, those guys, and the confounding assholes who piss on fellow fans because their ways of shipping don't conform to some inane elitist standards.

Re: OP

I meant the ones that say "HA! I ship an obscure pairing, so I'm saner than you bandwagon shippers!". Sorry for not being clear. :P

If Project Runway has taught me one thing, it's that "Make it work!" applies to shipping in fandom too :)

OP of akuroku secret

(Anonymous) 2008-01-23 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Hey there.

See, the thing is? I didn't say it because it made me SPESHUL, and I'm not in the fandom, so I could care less about that. Mostly, I just felt the need to say it, because most of my flist is crazy for Akuroku and would probably skin me alive. :)

So, not whining, thanks very much. Just expressing an opinion. As far as I can tell, my secret wasn't whiny at all.

OP of 42

With the timing of 3 and my secret, I suppose you might think this is about you.

It probably is. But only partly. In fact, it's just representative of a much bigger trend in the KH fandom.

Mostly, I just don't get how people can say, "All my friends would kill me for not shipping A/B." Why is shipping such serious business? That, I think, seems like martyring behavior to me. To take KH as an example, I don't ship Riku/Sora, which is the other big slash pairing in the fandom. My flist is chock full of Riku/Sora OTPers, but telling them, "Geez, guys, I just don't see it. Sora/Namine for me." has never gotten me ostracized from the fandom yet.

Well, you have more forgiving friends than me and I envy you for it :[ I agree. I don't see why anyone makes a big deal about any differing opinion, but seeing how that works here on FS makes me despair for the human race. Because if we're arguing and unaccepting about petty shit like which fictional character should be with whom, than there's no hope. It's all bullshit.
