Do you ever enjoy ship wars?

[(Anonymous)]

My favorite kind is when the ship war involves my favorite character being one half of each of the pairings. I just like seeing my favorite characters being fought over.

Re: Do you ever enjoy ship wars?

I really love ship wars when it gives me a chance to argue -- there's nothing I love more than dissecting someone's thoughts and then having them turn around and do the same thing to me and we go back and forth on it.

It's fun for me to break down other people's reasoning and have my own broken down. I don't mind when people insult me either.

Lately it's not as fun, though, because ship wars keep getting social justice tied into them. And while I don't mind if people call me a moron whose opinion is plainly WRONG (I tend to find this pretty funny, to be honest), I don't take kindly to being called a misogynist, a racist, a homophobe, etc.

I mean, if I've said something that's bigoted, point it out to me - quote the part of my post back at me that's bigoted. But it NEVER happens that way -- it's just "You're such a _______ for criticizing this ship!"

I like watching them when I'm not invested in either ship.

Re: Do you ever enjoy ship wars?

No because whenever I ship something that's involved in a shipwar with another pairing, my favorite character is fought over like a prize to be won.

X: "No, Character B deserves Character A sooooo much more than Character C!"

Y:"NU UH! Character C has been through so much and NEEDS Character A's love and attention."

X: "NU UH!"

Y: "YA HUH!"

It makes me not want to ship anyone with Character A and just read stuff about A all alone so I don't have to deal with that shit.

The only times I've ever been mildly amused by shipwars is when it's from a fandom I'm not in. Like watching an explosion from afar while you're sitting on your lawn eating popcorn.

Re: Do you ever enjoy ship wars?

Yeah, sometimes I multiship Character A, and when rival shippers argue who deserves them more, it rubs me the wrong way. I do still read fic for both ships, unless there's OTT bashing of the other ship. Though I get that some ships are mutually exclusive, or maybe an OT3 would be hard to work out (another pet peeve: "OT3s solve everything all the time!"), so of course they might contain some reasonable negativity towards the character not paired. I even read meta for both sides! I just agree with both because I'm a filthy non-partisan.

I don't look into ship wars for fandoms I'm not in. At most, fandoms I'm only one foot in because I haven't completed the canon(s). And a lot of my fandoms are small (no critical mass of shippers) or don't have ship wars because there are "standard" but not necessarily canon ships that you either ship or don't (no rival ships), or don't have big ship wars because there are too many fans and ships (easy to get away from rival ships).

Re: Do you ever enjoy ship wars?

Same. I secretly love seeing the MCU Stony and Stucky getting into it with one another.

Re: Do you ever enjoy ship wars?

[(Anonymous)]

Only if I'm on the outside looking in. I never enjoy it if my pairing/character is involved in a ship war.

Re: Do you ever enjoy ship wars?

No
Sometimes they are inevitable see sawyer/kate vs jack/kate, stefan/elena vs damon/elena, chuck/blair vs dan/blair
But the ones between the fans of the canon ship and the fans of the unconventional couple that is not even a thing are nonsense e.g., harry/hermione vs hermione/ron or hermione/draco; merlin/arthur vs arthur guinevere; abrams verse kirk/spock vs spock/uhura. Wtf.
Few fandoms are blessed with a source material that doesn't have a triangle, watching fans ruin that with triangles and soap opera that are only in their imagination and not supported by the writers is nuts for me.

*to be fair, not including harry potter now because Rowling is an idiot who will shit on her own canon to still get attention see her 'I regret hermione/ron' after she had called hermione/harry fans delusional SMDH
*happy non shipper who doesn't give a damn either way dance*
