Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I'm sort of the opinion that when something crosses into trying to police other fans or involves other people, no matter what your justification (it doesn't matter if you're harassing them for being black/gay/a woman/etc. or harassing them for shipping something else), then things get hairy fast.

The biggest problem is I've seen studies on how if something is emotional for you, it's easy to read something passive as active and retaliate in kind. So like... a game site giving a game you love a poor review is likely to inspire heated personal responses because even if the review is entirely passive "I personally found the controls clunky and unintuitive" people will interpret this as "People who liked this are big fat ugly losers and should be pushed in mud" and will leave angry comments "(Yeah, well if I'm a loser and should be pushed in mud...) You're horrible and should die."

Which makes it really hard to draw the line between "They're quietly shipping a ship I hate, but I can ignore them and ship what I like because this doesn't affect me." and "By quietly shipping a racist and homophobic and misogynistic ship they're making fellow fans uncomfortable and making the fandom toxic for all the people like me."
