Please tell me that b!s is just hyperbole and didn't actually happen.

It isn't. Happened at a convention.

ayrt

.......holy fuck. I'm speechless.

Wut.

Unfortunately not. I think it was a Frisk/Sans artist was fed needles at a con and a bunch of people said "well it sucks, but they shouldn't ship XYZ". It was fucked up

Wut.

Trigger warning for pictures of blood and a needle.

Wut.

I feel like the way that the secret is phrased is slightly unfair? Is that just me? Am I being unreasonable here?

B!S: Haha, what? Man, the only Soriel shipper I know doesn't stand for that sort of shit.

The tumblr post about this had plenty of Soriel shippers going "well, that's what you get for shipping Frisk/Sans!"

Why do people want to fuck the skeleton?

who's going to be better at boning

LOL!

I'm really astonished that being canon is so important to people. Then again, I guess I'm an old queer person who never expected to see canon queer relationships being treated as no big deal, so maybe I'm just over-compensating?

Isn't that what shipwars have always been about? People have been caring too much about canon for a long, long time.

Given how they're usually about which pairs of straightest dudes in the history of television are banging each other, I'm not certain where canon really matters.

Man people love using the needle incident as an all-purpose cudgel against anything in Undertale fandom they don't like, even though it didn't even happen on the English speaking side.

The fact that people in the Undertale fandom defended putting needles in cookies to hurt shippers they don't like is why I avoid that fandom like the plague.

And I don't care that it happened in ~~far away~~~ Taiwan. That it happened at all is inexcusable.

This comment makes me think of that Dr. Seuss political cartoon:

Ha, perfect! I replied to them, but I'm still baffled that they can even pretend the English fandom didn't react just a day after this happened.

You know why? Because plenty of people on the English side thought the artist deserved it for drawing a ship they didn't like.

I don't mind the pairing, I think it's cute even though I read Sans as a teenager/young adult first vs middle-age Toriel so I had to get through that hurdle in my own head (note: lots of whispering to myself that monsters are essentially immortal so age is just a concept past a certain point). But yes, urgh, the 'canon shippers' are always the worst, no matter which fandom.

But also wtf is that needle thing, holy shit that sounds horrifying. I don't think an entire section of fandom should be judged on one crazy thing one of their ranks did, but dear lord that's insane.

The needle cookie incident was, indeed, horrifying. The reason Soriel shippers gets lumped in with that is because, when this got posted to Tumblr, plenty of them spoke out in support of this because the artist drew Frisk/Sans.
