Respectfully disagree, OP. My one ship right now is two ten year old boys, nonsexual, pure fluff, friendship, and emotional support. One half of the ship has godawful parents, and there's nothing wrong with kids supporting one another in such a case. Remember Forrest Gump? Who didn't like seeing Forrest comfort Jennie? It's like that for me. It's right on American TV, too, so there's nothing gross, illegal, or skeevy about it.

Not going anon, because I'm someone whose interest you've just called 'sick' and 'wrong.' I won't argue if you think it's sick and wrong FOR YOU. Only you can be the judge of that, and some people can't separate shipping from sex for whatever reason. I'm grayace so it comes all too easy to me personally. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you've been bombarded by insidious messages on tumblr, or tumblr-ish hive minds full of antis, bullies, "call outs," doxxers, and assholes pushing the witch hunt on creatives over the years. They're a judgmental bunch and the dearth of creativity and freedom in fandom. If you want an actual solution to your anxiety, I suggest not bumming around in spaces with antis. They're full of it and will only stress you out. Check out problem_attic sometime if you're interested in chit chatting with folks who won't be quick to jump down your throat as antis and their pin prick narrow views of what's "acceptable" in fandom.

I'm sorry your past works have caused you stress and uncertainty. I've orphaned many works for the same reason, and I regret it.

NO offense, but I wouldn't really call that *shipping*. Shipping comes with an expectation of romance, generally.

[killertofuuu]

None taken. I wasn't clear enough. It is shipping, though, because I do ship it romantically (hugs and kisses and life/relationship building), just not sexually.

Romance yeah, but romance can as easily mean "two characters have butterflies when they brush hands" just as easily as "two characters bone" and a lot in between. Lots of people like shipping but don't read porn.

Hey yo, I'm demi(?)-ace and a fan of a couple minor ships-- like, I like having ships that are about feelings and butterflies and learning who you are and how to be with another person, and like... NOT about sex (and often not even about kissing).

(of course, if there were more ace romances out there where adults had that kind of focus instead of everything being so sexually driven, maybe I'd feel differently, but anyway, like... I totally get that)

[killertofuuu]

Thank you for saying so. I absolutely have nothing against sex and sexual tension in stories, but I crave... mostly all the non-sex stuff. Particularly how couples learn to communicate with each other. The emotional connection. I'm not repulsed by physical act of sex in fic personally. I'm just really bored of it, skim through 90%. 100% if it feels like it's all sex and no soul.

Not OP, but thanks for linking that comm; I had no idea it existed!

You're welcome. :)
