Re: OP of 101

I don't think I've ever encountered a canon that presented a character that was like "I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY ALONE."

I also think that your opinion is based on a lot of assumptions. Why can't you like a character and want to explore their relationship with another character?

OP of 101

(Anonymous) 2008-10-12 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Honestly, in some canons you have to be blind to realize that certain characters are not looking for a relationship.

My best example is Tres Iqus from Trinity Blood. The mancyborg is married to the job. I really cannot see him fanning over Abel Nightroad, because HE IS AN ANDROID. A MACHINE. But some fangirls just don't get it.

I've also been ostracized by much of a f-list/RL friends for not being able to ship. "OMG HOW CANT YOU SEE IT ARE YOU BLIND!?" Sorry but I can't. I just enjoy video games/manga/anime/tv series for what they are.

Re: OP of 101

[identity profile] paperclipchains.livejournal.com 2008-10-12 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Then find new people who can indulge in your gen tendencies instead of bashing those who want to ship. You can have both, yanno.

And again, you're making assumptions. Not all shipping is about romance, not all relationships are romantic, and "I ship it" can mean a million different things to a million different people. My problem here is that you're basically calling into question the validity of exploring a relationship. This probably isn't want you're intending to do, but my mind has run away with the idea again and I'm left with the impression that you think that exploring a character through their interpersonal relationships (romantic or otherwise) is illegitimate.

Re: OP of 101

(Anonymous) 2008-10-12 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
I don't find it illegitimate, I hate it when people basically bend situations for them to work for their ship (IchiRuki, IchiHime fans I am looking at you!)

I just don't get it. I have no problem with people exploring character's relationships well, like in this fic (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3170718/1/How_Not_To_Date_Blondes) over here. Sure, the relationship is not canon in the game, but this two authors do one thing that most fangirl/fanboys of certains ships forget---- progression. Two characters don't just wake and suddenly, OMFG TRUE WUV.

Maybe it's me being stupid. I love certain characters, but I just cannot say "I ship X and Y!" And to tell you the truth, I made this secret after a yaoi fangirl at work basically insulted me for not liking one of her ships that involved a character I deeply indentify with.

And like I said, what I want rabid shippers to answer is this: why can't you like a character as they are? Why do you have to pair them up even though canonically he/she is perfectly happy all alone?

Re: OP of 101

[identity profile] paperclipchains.livejournal.com 2008-10-12 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
No, I don't think you're being stupid at all. I think you have a very legitimate complaint that's getting caught up under generalizations and assumptions. I, too, hate it when characters are just suddenly OMG TWU LUV, but I don't think that's all that shipping means.

I can't answer your question from the perspective that you'd like it answered, but I can speculate that it's for one or a combination of the following reasons:
1) Fun
2) Porn
3) They believe that the characters can be explored or enriched through the relationship
4) They believe that the dynamic is incredibly interesting
5) They feel it's neither here nor there if the character is happy, and may indeed be more interested in the character when they're conflicted, angry or struggling.
