Yup. I still ship, but I mostly want nothing to do with the fandom. I can't believe I ever thought there was such a thing as "right and wrong shipping."

Although, TBH, I kind of reacted nearly the same way to the How I Met Your Mother final except that I don't think I've ever been rude to a Ted/Robin shipper (and there are a few of them). But that final was pretty universally disliked, so I'm not alone.

ayrt

Considering plenty of Ted/Robin shippers hated it...

I know people defends it with "that's just what real life's like" but even in real life we go "Wait, what?" at things like "oh, none of them are friends with her anymore" or "the playboy is a happy family man". And fiction has to make more sense than reality... which is kinda hard to do when you build things up a certain way for several seasons, stretch out one day over almost a whole season, and only go for the drastic changes in the last minutes. I would've quite happily accepted it if HIMYM had ended before, say, season 3 or 4. After that? Not really.

But hey, who cares how the characterization has evolved since then or what aesops we've gotten, this the ending we intended and screw everything else!

People like to rag on the HP epilogue, but at least it fit the characters for the most part.
