Still to this day, Harry/Hermione. I've gotten over people's preferences and understand/know that canon doesn't always mean better. My reason comes from sheer pettiness. Back in the mid 00's I was in a Kpop fandom and was involved with a friend group of about a 20(ish) people.

Eventually one of the other girls built a dislike for me and never confronted me about it. We followed each other on MySpace and she began posting Notes with rambles about how she hoped for Harry/Hermione to be canon because Hermione was too good for Ron.
It was obviously a dig at me because at a nonKpop forum I had written a soapbox about how I shipped Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny, and more specifically it was pretty obvious from JKR's writings Harry and Hermione's relationship had always been platonic and all the romance potential had always been between Ron and Hermione (IMO it became SUPER obvious in Goblet of Fire).

I was hurt because I thought she was very nice and funny, and I wasn't aware of anything I could have done to her that it would have her not like me and be such a colossal chickenshit bitch to me in such an immature manner. Like, if she hated me so much she could have unfriended/unfollowed me and left it there.

Looking back, she probably didn't like how brash I could be at times (which is fair) and I also think she hated how at the nonKpop forum (which was a lot smaller than the Kpop forum but it was very active) I was a BNF and my friend group contained mostly BNFs too.

Prior to the Myspace post I had no idea said Hater visited the nonKpop forum. One of my friends that was active at the Kpop forum as well as the nonKpop forum confirmed my suspicions that said Hater lurked at our nonKpop forum for the fics. I'm pretty sure said Hater made friends with some girls at the nonKpop forum who didn't like me and my friend group and those girls talked a lot of shit about me and my friends, which I was also pretty unaware of for a long time.

One of the nonKpop Haters made this whole spew in a rant thread about people asslicking my friend group when I left for awhile and returned a couple months later (when I returned some forum members were posting replies in threads my friends and I were posting in "OMG [Anon], you're back!"). I was like "Um...who are you?"

Then one of my friends who was prone to snooping around for gossip/drama filled me in that said nonKpop Hater had been harvesting a hate boner for our friend group because she thought she was a better writer than us and yet our friend group got more hits and comments on our fics and the threads that were our "hang out corners". I found it hilarious because I really had no idea I took up so much space in some people's heads rent free.

Whoa, didn't mean to rant. Hadn't thought about that mess in over a decade. But yeah, whenever "Harry/Hermione should have been canon/is a better ship" comes up I'm just filled with this rage of "UGH GOD GET THE FUCK OVER IT".

Pretty sure it's not really the ship that makes me so mad. Like, if she didn't like me, fine, whatever, she was free to go on and live her life with her feelings toward me, but why the fuck was she so fucking pressed about what I did and said (and not even any comments I made toward her)?

If she disliked me so much to the point where she wanted to call me out why the fuck didn't she come to me personally? Was she baiting me to call her out? LMFAO Bitch, you weren't worth the effort for me to get everyone else involved. I had suspicions and realized that in the weeks before her Myspace Notes she'd ignore my comments at the Kpop forum and when I pieced it together I left her the fuck alone.

Anyway, TL;DR: I hate Harry/Hermione for petty fandom drama reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with the HP fandom.

SA: Now I'm not sure if it was Myspace or Facebook. LOL It was one of those two that we followed each other.

At first I was like "Huh?! But wait..." but then that second half, geez, yeah, they sounded petty. Responding to rants is one thing, but bashing people behind their backs is another.

One of my fandom friends who shipped H/Hr jokingly (I hope) was like "HOW DARE YOU? DIE!" when I expressed support for R/Hr, so I calmly trolled them in a post that had nothing to do with ship wars, using random Ron/Hermione pics placed in between the text. They replied with something defeated but I like to think that was the end of that.

Yeah. I was thinking a bit more about it last night and now I'm pretty confident said Hater wrote her Myspace/FB to make fun of me as well as just vent her dislike toward me, and she knew damn well I was one of the few ppl who read her Notes. I still think she should have just soft blocked me and gone on with her life. Instead, based upon her passive aggressive behavior she was hate reading all my posts.

By the sounds of how things played out IMO your friend was joking with you. Pretty funny how you were able to win the fight. 😂
I had a good number of friends who were Harry/Hermione shippers and we had some intense arguments but it always ended with "lol we'll see who's right once the last book is out!" And we were able to get along outside of our ship war. So I knew there was more to said Hater's rant than simply disagreeing with my ships.

Thanks for reading my long ass rant. ☺️😂 I was processing the whole thing as I was writing my comment.
