I can kind of see where you're coming from, if you view shipping as more romantic than just sexual, then having a fandom bicycle means that you're not thinking through romance/relationships between the characters, you're just wanting to see this one get fucked a lot.

This is how I think the secret maker meant it, too. And I can get where they're coming from with that mindset to some degree. Personally speaking, while I do love to multi-ship, I like to ship characters that I can see having a deep, long-term relationship. There's something special and unique about each pairing I like that I want to capture/see captured in stories about each of those pairings.

That said, however, I'm also completely with you in agreeing that there's nothing wrong with people wanting to ship two characters for hotness' sake, or other reasons of that sort.

And if the secret maker DID mean to imply that by simply multi-shipping in and of itself, fans are cheapening the concept of shipping or things of that sort, then I definitely disagree with them on that.

Yeah, see, I'm the same as you - I ship characters romantically much more than sexually, even if I have a "bicycle" type character. I was trying to see where OP was coming from, though (but I could be wrong!).

And to be fair, often when you have a fandom bicycle character, I can see where they'd feel that people aren't really investing in the relationships.
But then, you see that in juggernaut pairings too, where people just take it as obvious that the characters will be together, and don't bother building relationships properly.

LOL, yeah, hopefully OP can chime in soon to clarify things!

But agreed on all of what you said. And juggernaut pairings also run the risk of having the same types of stories written about them over and over and over and over, to the point where they don't bother to explore any other facets of the relationship that could be as equally interesting to write about, or that could be used to try and entice new fans.
