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.

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).
