Well, at first this fact made me feel a bit uneasy, but hearing your defense has eased my weariness. I can kind of understand how you feel. I sometimes get very attached to certain ships and get mixed feelings when I see people taking one of the characters from that ship and pairing them up with another person. You see a certain chemistry between those two and you can't see them having as special or memorable a relationship with anyone else other than each other. I always feel a tiny bit of jealousy towards Zoro/Luffy shippers because oh boy, those two have a relationship. I mean, Zoro almost died for Luffy. There's no debate that Zoro cares deeply for Luffy, and I'm assured that Luffy cares deeply for Zoro. However, something about turning that heartfelt connection into anything having to do with a remotely deeper emotional or physical relationship doesn't appeal to me.

And it's very hypocritical of me to say that, I know, because Zoro/Sanji is... it makes no sense.

It doesn't help I am certain people who ship them only do so because they are the only two stereotypical bishonen in the manga.

Not everyone does that though, you have to understand that. Granted, you're sure to find some people who do, but there are others who like the pairing for the same reason that you like Zoro/Luffy. We see something in it that is special, that makes us happy and feel as if something is so very right between the two, no matter how much they try to beat each other into a bloody pulp. ...Like I said, makes no sense. (￣ー￣;)

In the end, no need to apologize. You love Zoro/Luffy. No one can look down on you or point fingers at you for that. It's just I got a little miffed at the fact that it seemed you were putting the pairing up on some superiority pedestal.

I can never imagine any sort of drama in the One Piece fandom. It's just so... loving and nice and tame. I love our fandom to death. ♥
