I mean wider world dynamics, etc, all valid, but to me it would feel wrong for pushy Sean to be with Gus.

Would it really be all that different from, for example, House/Wilson?

I mean, I can definitely see Shassie as well, I think Shassie is a great ship. And people shipping Shassie definitely aren't being racist. But there is a pattern to look at.

It's always good to look at wider patterns. I'm not sure if I could ship house and Wilson either...but I'm sure people do.

Tbh I'm usually on the gen end, and I hate power imbalances in ships or where one character is a jerk.

My feelings is that most viewers of psych when it aired were teens, and fairly happy with the Canon het relationship. But older viewers sought out ship dynamics like friends to lovers like old comfy socks.

Always worth examining racist undercurrents so we can work on em. But it can go pretty far once you start: Stormpilot had a lot of criticism for any hints of Latin Lover tropes, or Sexy Black Man, which made it a little hard to attract sexy writing at all after awhile. Lots of gifs, but not a lot of people ready to risk the gauntlet

p.s. don't get me wrong, i'm all about the sweet stormpilot stuff, but for a ship to take off it usually has to have a fair proportion of people read and write sexy fics

There are patterns. But also, the specific fandom and the ship type does make a difference. I don't know anything about Psych. But for the above Star Wars example, people are almost always more likely to ship enemies/rivals than they are friends. Rey and Finn are friends. Rey and Kylo are enemies. Kylo is the fandom darling. Kylo is a villain who people seem to find it easy to woobify. This is a ship type that is generally really popular.

People also ship friends with some frequency
