I kind of agree and disagree. I don't really care how you ship something. But if you are suggesting that rape to love or whatever the trope is is a perfectly healthy relationship, I will sideeye you. Enjoy what you want in canon. Just don't pretend that this crap would make for a great real life relationship.

"I don't really care how you ship something"

*proceeds to care very much*


I mean... I'm not saying you're wrong re: healthy relationships, but saying you don't care except when people do X, or Y or Z kind of undermines the claim that you don't care. At the very least, I hope you don't break out your list of Unacceptable Ways to Ship when people haven't even mentioned any of those things, otherwise you're exactly the kind of person OP is talking about.

[philstar22]

Nope. It really only comes into play for me when people are comparing fictional relationships to real life. Whatever people want to life or think in and about fiction doesn't matter to me. I just get bothered by the way that sometimes translates into real life.

[(Anonymous)]

Sure. But my point is that you're still doing exactly what OP is talking about. People are having a conversation about one thing, and you're breaking in to discuss a tangent that nobody's previously mentioned is all about what you personally dislike or find problematic.

Like... the purple text in the secret is pretty much what you're doing.

[(Anonymous)]

That's probably why she wrote

"I kind of agree and disagree."

She wasn't claiming to totally agree with the secret writer. She agreed with it partway, but there was an exception to her agreement.

Except most people who ship things like that...DON'T compare it to real life or endorse it. They know it's fucked up. That's usually WHY they ship it.

It's not a fucking crime to like a fucked up dynamic for a pair. It may not work for the person otherwise.

That also means they may ship some fairly normal stuff too. I mean, I've had my own fucked up ships throughout the years (Dark Knight universe Joker/Batman for example), that doesn't mean I endorse that shit in real life.

So yeah, I agree with the anon. You're jumping to conclusions and sound exactly like the kind of person the secret OP is referring to.

[(Anonymous)]

I was amused that their comment was basically the exact kind of comment OP is complaining about, but I don't think that to "sideeye" a ship is to "care very much."

[(Anonymous)]

Haha, okay. Maybe it's *proceeds to care*? I just found it a little funny and right on the nose the way philstar22 brought up "suggesting that rape to love or whatever the trope is is a perfectly healthy relationship" and "pretend[ing] that this crap would make for a great real life relationship" when literally nobody in the secret or this thread has mentioned that they plan on doing any of that.

[(Anonymous)]

This is me tbh, ship what you want but don't pretend that the fucked ship you like is super romantic or healthy.

[(Anonymous)]

This though.

[otakugal15]

Except most of the actually fucked up ships people ship, they DON'T think it's healthy or romantic.

You have some outliers (like the Reylo fans, though even many of them will ship it because it's fucked up and not because it's romantic), but damn.

Thanks for proving the OP right.
