Inspired vaguely by #7. Specific examples of shipper behavior that just kind of made you sigh and shake your head, not the outrageous stuff.

trying to get American voice actors to sign their yaoi fanart for Japanese series. it was pretty clear that at 15, they had very little sense that the dub actors were not actually the characters and also were not actually buttfucking.

Today I had a friend rant to me for ten minutes about how annoying it was when people bashed your favorite pairing and should just suck it up and ignore pairings they don't like. If you don't have anything nice to say, and all. And how many people feel the need to act like it's so important you know they hate your pairing.

Then they saw I'd posted a new fic with a pairing they hated.

And spent a while ranting to me about how 'gross' they found my pairing.

But see it's okay when they do it! That is really annoying.

People who over analyze scenes. I remember some fan of SPN made a post studying with like...sight lines and such to prove Dean liked men. It was all, "LOOK! When this soldier passes Dean, Dean LOOKS AT HIS BUTT! *draws line from eyes to person passing by*DEAN LIKES MEN CONFIRMED!"

A bunch of other fandoms do that kind of stuff but that post really sticks out in my brain for some reason.

Oh, lord, yeah, I've seen those kinds of posts before. Talk about streeeeeeeeetching.

This.

I especially like the posts that talk about how the colors of his shirt prove that he's bisexual (and, by extension, in love with Cas obvsly)

This, and when shippers cry "eyefucking!!" whenever two actors make eye contact.

I must admit I really love reading posts like that because it's just so crazy.

Sherlock fandom's super guilty of it too. Just...reaching so, so far for "proof" of Johnlock, and patting themselves on the asses for being so "observant." And I say this both as someone that loves the show and even ships Johnlock! It's just so far over the top, it's really cringey.

Harry/Hermione shippers after book 6 came out. They were pretty delusional at the time.

*shudders* remember the terror

I'm kinda glad I wasn't in the fandom at the time. I don't even know if I was shipping them then.

They were one of the main reasons I jumped ship.

Parts of the Steven Universe fandom succeeding in bullying a kid into trying to commit suicide for shipping a ship they didn't like is pretty unbeatable, I guess.

do Jelly bean and Sweet pea conspiracy theorists count?

too outrageous?

I don't know what this is, but you have me very curious :D.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are secretly married and have babbys. Sweet pea and Jelly bean. DUH.

And before you ask --- yes. In the year of our lord 2016. Robstens. Doesn't really make sense, but there you have it.

HKN Haven ring any bells? (HKN = haters know nothing)

latest weekly roundup:
https://thehknhaven.wordpress.com/2016/09/11/weekly-roundup-3/

Trigger warning for racism because Robsten fans hate FKA Twigs and feel it's totally cool to call her a monkey and IT.
Oh and don't bother posting in the comments. They'll just delete anything that even remotely resembles criticism (like explaining why racism is wrong) and they'll ban your IP.

Ahhhhhhh, okay, didn't realize that was tied to Pattinson and Stewart at all. I thought the Jelly Bean/Sweet Pea thing had something to do with a cartoon, for some reason :p.

Thanks for the explanation, though! I'm not familiar with the HKN Haven, no, but now you've posted that link, I'll poke my head in and see what's what. Will take your advice about posting comments, too. Yeah. It sounds similar to the J2 tinhatters from SPN-best to just look at the batshit from the sidelines, shake one's head, and move on.

Someone saying that two characters shouldn't be shipped because one of them called the other beautiful in canon but didn't fall in love with her, therefore he's canonically aromantic/asexual

????????????????

People needing to see deep meaning in every little thing. As Freud said, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Actually, it's never been proven Freud actually said that! It became an irl meme in the 50s, for some reason associated with Freud (most likely because people were trying to make fun of Freud), but nobody knows the source.

In any case, Occam's razor >>>>>>
