It is shallow, silly, and immature to not care about anything that's non-shipping-related.

Well, I suppose if shipping is literally the only part of the story you give a damn about, that's a bit silly. However, neither OP nor I have said that shipping is all we care about - just that it's the linchpin of our fannish experience. Shipping is the fuel on the fire, but it's not the entire fire; there's still got to be some substance there. Furthermore, shipping itself potentially brings a fair amount of depth and complexity to the table. It is, after all, the exploration of love and desire. Let's not pretend those issues are inherently shallow; rather the opposite. Love and desire are only shallow, immature issues if the individual exploring said issues has a shallow, immature understanding of them. Which brings me back to you, anon!

Funnily enough, it's your attitude that strikes me as immature and shallow, in that you exhibit a clear inability to understand or accept the value of others opinions and experiences with regard to fandom. When I think of the many various ideas, dynamics, and situations I've had the pleasure of exploring through fanfic, it's honestly hilarious that there are people like you making snap judgments about what kind of fan and/or person I am, simply because I love shipping. As though

You know what, never mind, you're a dick; that's really all it's worth saying to you. I should've just skipped the rest, as I doubt you're capable of extending your mind beyond your own shallow preconceived notions anyhow.
