Re: Pet Peeves

[nonnymouscawitz]

Yeah, I learned the lesson early because as a young thing, I shipped Zutara. And there was this baffling trend in the Avatar fandom to not only mock people for shipping Zutara, but to insist that they actually shouldn't ship it anymore because it wasn't canon. And I had to learn that I could scream and fight and get nowhere, or I could shrug and go back to my fanfic.

I agree, there's so much more to read and write about.

well also Zutara shippers in general were pretty terrible. I mean, calling Kataang shippers pedophiles types of terrible. And I'm saying this as someone who started out shipping it.

Granted, Kataang shippers were also pretty awful back.

I was on the side of feeling like romance with a 12 year old was really really weird, and I was young so I probably wasn't the most mature, but I tried to stay out of the fighting.

Zutara shippers could be pretty awful themselves, absolutely! It's just that the Kataang shippers then decided they'd 'won' and I never really got that.

Ergh. I'm sorry. Ship wars are so annoying and I try and stay out of them as best I can.

*Shakes head* Yeah, that line of thinking makes absolutely no sense to me at all. By all means, people can ship a canon pairing if they love it. Just as I have non-canon pairings I like, I also have a few canon ones I'm a fan of, too. There's some great canon relationships out there.

But how do people who make that argument not get the point that part of the appeal for some fans is exploring stuff that happens beyond the show, or playing "what if" and imagining what would happen if the story/relationship went this way instead? Whether a fan adheres to canon or goes the non-canon route, neither option is wrong. Both are great ways to explore the show/film/book and the characters, both allow for fans to be imaginative and creative, and both are, or should be, welcome and acceptable in fandom.
