I don't really buy the enthusiasm of anyone who can pick and choose what they ship based on the behavior of the fandom or whatever, it pretty much makes me think what they do "ship" they're really just fandoming over for some kind of social points. I would love to be able to improve the way in which other people ship my ships sometimes but that doesn't mean I can just magically turn off the goggles and the shippy plot bunnies.

It depends on what you mean by shipping, imo.

If it's just the ability to see and enjoy chemistry between two characters, that's one thing, but a lot of people use "shipping" to refer to actively engaging with the fandom for a pairing, whether it's as a producer of fan content or a consumer. In the latter case, you can absolutely pick and choose what you ship based on fan behavior, because fandom participation is always a choice.

I wouldn't stop shipping my major ships if people got ridiculous about them. I would just disengage from the fandoms for them. However if it is a minor ship? That I like somewhat in that I will read fanfic and meta about them and reblog some pictures/fanart of them but I'm not hugely engaged? I've been totally turned off by fellow shippers before. Like Hannibal/Will on Hannibal. I thought they had an interesting dynamic and I liked seeing it explored. Then fluffy things and "murder family" took over and people got ridiculously obnoxious about the ship, so now I don't seek anything out about them anymore. I still think the dynamic is twisted and interesting, but I'd no longer call myself a shipper of them, even a casual one.

IAWTC. I think in a particular time/place I could appreciate Johnlock, but there are so many batshit fans involved that it's completely turned me off the pairing.

I will be influenced if I'm on the edge about it.

Like I might have shipped Clintasha if the shippers weren't so militant about how she's a Tough Strong Grrl with a Dark Past, but utterly flawless and would never hurt a man's feefees or make a mistake.

Or in another the main female character is essentially Sergeant Calhoun from Wreck it Ralph, but the het side of fandom paints her as this delicate nurturing waifu who kisses foreheads and supports the men in everything and lets them lead her around by the hand. Instead of being the one who's usually yelling and waving a gun and telling everyone to MOVE before the whole place explodes, or literally dickpunching when someone screws up as she does in canon.

That makes me go from "Hey, this could be a cool ship, I should check it out..." to noping away pretty fast.
