Stucky vs Staron consists of a group of like 10 people fighting with each other.
Those are infinitesimal levels of shipping wars compared to the Tony/Loki vs Tony/Thor debate that was popular for a couple months.
And anything in the MCU is a slap fight compared to what the 'ship wars' you see in fandoms like Supernatural, Sherlock, Star Trek, etc. have.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-29 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)I guess I kinda assumed that 100% of everybody shipped Johnlock. (I've scrupulously avoided the fandom for the past few years, though.)

(Anonymous) 2016-05-29 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)95%. Not enough for me to stick around long myself (I shipped Sherlock/Lestrade during the first season, John/Lestrade during the second, and then I abandoned ship). But I remember, in addition to those pairings, small but dedicated groups of Sherlock/Molly, Sherlock/Moriarty, and Moriarty/Moran shippers. There was also a subset of Mycroft/Lestrade shippers who really ran with that pairing and either included Johnlock as an afterthought in their fics or excluded it entirely.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-30 11:57 am (UTC)(link)Oh, I wrote a couple of Mycroft/Sherlock fics myself! I barely read anything for the pairing, though; I didn't really ship it, I just had a couple of story ideas I wanted to explore.
It looks as though the pairing's taken off a bit since the early seasons of the show, based on the number of fics on AO3 (858 at the moment.) It's still tiny-tiny in comparison to Johnlock, of course, but being within shouting distance of a 1000 fics isn't too bad.

I should take another look - even if I have to weed out the ones that are John/Mycroft/Sherlock, or those that have the Johnlock as an endgame, there should be plenty to read.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-30 12:49 am (UTC)(link)It definitely seemed like more to me. Before the recent news flooded it with Nazi Cap complaints, the main stucky tag had a lot of posts about the het romance in CW. I wouldn't call all of it hateful (although some definitely was), but the noise was palpable.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-30 01:35 am (UTC)(link)Was this seriously a thing? I'm in fandom and I've never seen a ship war between these two. Just a bunch of Loki wankers who happen to be Tony/Loki shippers going on and on about how Thor is the worst brother ever, abusive, evil, etc. But that's less to do with shipping than a small faction of Loki fans being cuckoo pants.

Aaaaand...now I'm kinda sad I missed this. *g*
