Re: Popular ships you just don't get.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm with on rival shipping. I can't think of specific examples right now, but pretty much any of them. If the characters seem to genuinely hate each other in canon and have no positive feelings towards each other whatsoever it's pretty much impossible for me to ship it.

JD/Cox from Scrubs and, similarly, Jake/Holt from Brooklyn Nine Nine. That whole dynamic just creeps me out because it's so unequal. (And, to be fair, with Scrubs it's at least partially because JD/Turk was SO DAMN OBVIOUS that I found it baffling that anyone could ship anything else.)

Aria/Fitz from Pretty Little Liars. I guess it's for kind of similar reasons to the ones above, but at least with those it's with two adults. Adult + underage child + power imbalance is just a major squick to me. But there are a ton of people that find it ~so romantic~ and I literally just can't comprehend it at all. It's the same thing with Twilight, where a bunch of people think it's this epic romance and I think it's creepy as fuck.

Any pairing that's two white dudes who have never or barely interacted because the alternative ship (that actually has *some* sort of basis; they have an already established relationship of some sort, or have at least interacted a bunch) is one of those dudes with a non-white guy or a woman or, god forbid, a non-white woman, and of course we can't have that.

Same. That kind of dynamic just doesn't scream "romance" to me.

I'm with you on Aria/Fitz, but I don't see vampire/human relationships as the same thing at all.

Most stories that feature vampires treat vampires like their ages are irrelevant, maturity-wise, and I feel like you can either accept that basic conceit or not. The people who accept it aren't ignoring the age thing per se; they just don't care, because they've accepted the implicit instruction of the text to regard vampire's ages as irrelevant in certain ways.
