But Levi/Eren is the most popular pairing in fandom so I don't understand why you're lying to your friend about liking the series at all. Not to mention just because a pairing is popular doesn't mean any one person has to like it.

Hanji/Erwin is the superior pairing anyway

It's because she and I usually love talking about series we like together. She's a really great friend, and she was there for me years ago when I came out (twice, bisexual trans man!), and normally she and I are like two peas in a pod. But she's...really, really fanatical about Erwin/Levi, and it's not even that the pairing itself actively squicks me even if I don't see it and/or like it, it's more the fandom dynamics around it, like I said in the secret. I just don't think I can handle listening to a ton of Erwin/Levi crap (and she is majorly into shipping so it would be all I would hear about, which would be alright if it wasn't something that had me running for the hills).

(...I would totally read/check out Erwin/Hanji stuff, I won't lie.)

I can understand keeping it to yourself if you don't want your ear talked off about something you don't like.

Sometimes fandom can create a sort of group think about a certain pairing. Where you might like it if there were fanworks created with different dynamics for the characters... but for some reason the majority of the fans only see it through one lens... one you might not particularly care for. It can be frustrating. The best you can do is encourage more variety. Maybe if you ever wanted to talk about you could add... "but wouldn't it be cool if Levi did this instead?" Don't take away what she likes, just add more options.
