(Anonymous) 2016-01-25 02:59 am (UTC)(link)Oikawa is an annoying douche to Kageyama but he's certainly not nearly as bad as you're making him out to be.
i think you're extrapolating a quite a lot from a nine word sarcastic reply. i actually do like oikawa and kageyama both. not the biggest oikage fan, but i'm not invested enough to actually hate on it.
i take issue with what the other person was saying because hey, if you hate something, you hate something. i don't think there's anything wrong with that. this person made an anonymous secret, and, yeah, they came off as kind of smug and obnoxious (i for one actually like asanoya), but this is the better place to post ship hate than posting it in a ship's tags on tumblr or whatever.
i don't really hate any ships from hq, but there are other fandoms where i really do hate the ships, and, honestly, most of the time it's not because the characters are ~mean~ to each other or whatever. it's usually bc i think they're boring and overrated. that said, i don't bash these ships in the tags. hell, i don't even post my hate on tumblr. i talk about how much i hate these ships with like-minded friends on my locked twitter account. i don't really see how that's immature. plus, it's kind of fun bonding over things you hate, lol.
also, i think differentiating series between "high drama" and "low drama" in regards to whether or not it's immature to hate ships is kinda dumb, tbh.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-25 04:47 am (UTC)(link)Tbh you sound pretty immature yourself. You really sit around bonding with people over shit you hate? What happened to just avoiding that shit and shipping what you want? This sounds as stupid as the secret OP does. Why in the world would you feed your dislike for something? If I dislike something, I actively avoid it so I don't need to deal with that shit in my life.
"Hate" is such a strong word for fandom for crissakes. I can't fathom "hating" a ship, especially because secret!OP is making it real obvious they have a hard-on for Daichi/Asahi/Suga and Asahi/Suga which they view as ~superior~.
Also, I'm assuming by "low drama" the AYRT is talking about the stakes, and yeah I'd have to agree if that's the case. Actively hating ship comprised of two high school boys who admire one another is a little--no, a lot--imamature. Like I can see someone being like "I really dislike BLANK ship because in canon they want to kill each other" or some shit, but Asahi and Nishinoya as a pairing inspiring "hate" is stupid as fuck, especially because it's some lame-ass middle school "my pairing is BETTER!!!11oneone" bullshit. I think Tanaka and Nishinoya together is ridiculous as hell, I think they're the perfect example of a platonic bromance if ever there were one, but do I "hate" the ship? No.
Y'all are just way too fucking invested in fandom, like to a scary degree.
Re: +1
(Anonymous) 2016-01-25 05:30 am (UTC)(link)i mean, i mainly spend my time bonding over things i like with people, but sometimes it's kinda fun to shit talk things? this isn't even specifically a shipping thing. sometimes there's a character or movie or tv show i don't like, and it's pretty fun to rant about it.
also, like i said, people have different reasons for shipping things. for me, the reason i don't ship things has less to do with characters being ~mean~ to one another or even actively trying to harm one another. the ships i hate tend to be ones i find boring or there's a character in it that i strongly dislike.
maybe someone hates asanoya not because they dislike the characters but they don't like the idea of them being in a romantic relationship. maybe they're, like you mentioned, a tanaka/nishinoya shipper, and so they don't like asanoya.
idk. i feel like when most people have an otp, they tend to view it as a superior. if they're polite, they probably don't go around verbalizing, but i feel like this is a pretty natural thing. i think it's fine to hate things as long as you don't go around harassing people about it.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-25 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)Yeah, I could understand if there were abusive or huge age gaps, but literally every character is a teenage boy acting like a teenage boy. It's a light hearted, funny sports manga. How hard to you have to twist something to justify legit hate?
I know there are those rabid contrarians who hate on stuff just because it's popular and have to dig for reasons to justify their hate, but come on.
