I don't see why a romantic relationship would have to "ruin" what they already have but anyway...

I'm a Caryl shipper and most of the Caryl shippers I've seen were HAPPY that Richonne was canon, regardless of whether they shipped it or not. We were all celebrating with the Richonners when it happened because a lead white male getting together with a black woman on one of the most popular series on TV is a huge deal. And a win against racism gives us hope that our ship will win against ageism. I'm sad that my OTP isn't canon but Richonne is important too.

Whoops, that was meant to be a reply to the above comment.

IA, I haven't seen a lot of Daryl/Carol shippers making a fuss about Rick/Michonne being canon; if anything I've seen a ton of them congratulate Richonne shippers.

Not saying there aren't people out there that aren't pissed, there are always unhappy people (there are even people who think Rick and Michonne had a 'sibling like' relationship and don't like them hooking up), but I don't feel like they're the majority.

For the record, I ship both, though I do think of Daryl as asexual so there's not a lot of steamy sex involved in my fantasies.

And while I would love Carol and Daryl to be a couple, I don't 'expect it' and I'm just as excited (if not more excited) that Rick and Michonne are canon. They have one of the best relationships on the show, and along with Carl they make an adorable family.

Of course they're happy with Richonne, it keeps Michonne from getting paired up with Daryl.

Caryl fandom on Tumblr seems mostly cool with Richonne, I agree. There were a handful of complainers, but most were positive about it. It's mostly in message boards and the like where they got wanky about the whole thing. In retrospect, it's hilarious. When that Rick/Michonne promo art for Season 6B dropped and Richonne shippers got excited about it, some (not a lot, I don't think, and they were definitely not the only ones) Caryl shippers took to concern trolling, kindly (and not at all condescendingly!) reminding Richonne shippers that The Power That Be baited shippers all the time, that actors often lied to get their hopes up, and it never ever led to fan-favorite ships actually happening.

And then boom, Richonne hit, Gimple and company actually went there, it turned out Andrew Lincoln wasn't yanking everyone's chains the way Norman Reedus sometimes does, and then, well, you can guess what happened next.
