Thank you secret maker!

Good is subjective. People watch things because they enjoy them. I've never watched anything solely for shipping. But shipping is something people enjoy and can make something enjoyable to watch. I don't see what's hard to get.

[(Anonymous)]

Most of the shows I love, even for totally non-shipping reasons, I don't think are that good. Or at least, they have massive and obvious flaws.

Being good is overrated these days.

[(Anonymous)]

"I never understand why people watch porn just to get off while admitting the narrative concerning the pizza delivery boy isn't very good."

A lot of people ship purely because the characters are hot. Plot is often irrelevant regardless of what we're talking about, be it relating to shows or books or anything else. Physically attractive characters? Good. Physically attractive characters smooching other physically attractive characters? Even better. Sometimes a story enhances the sex appeal but it isn't required to get one's jollies.

Like with everything else in this world, there are of course exceptions and inversions to the rules; Breaking Bad is mine. Walter, Jesse, and Saul are not my idea of physically attractive but the fantastic writing makes the trio very shippable.

[(Anonymous)]

It's clear from the way people ship that oftentimes canon isn't all that important, so why would it need to be good?

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly it's because 'shippable' and 'good' are not necessarily the same thing. Some of my favourite ships have come from trash-fire movies and shows because they did a good job of hitting the right ~vibe to make me ship something. So while good media will keep me tuned in because it's crafted well and I enjoy the story, middling media with good shippy vibes keeps me watching because it hits the seratonin respones in my brain that make me happy. And if you're enjoying something you're going to be kinder on it's flaws, that's just how people are.

[(Anonymous)]

I wonder the same thing, honestly. No matter how much I may love a ship, I can't stick with the canon if I don't find it at least decent enough to want to keep watching it for the story.

Yeah....I can't actually see Kaeya and Albedo together.

To be fair, I have a hard time seeing Albedo in a romantic/sexual relationship with anybody now that I think about it.

Slight off topic, I apologize, but who is the actor depicted here, I've seen him once or twice before and think he has a very interesting look. Thanks!

Fans of a medium that's largely low-budget and extremely pandery? Having low standards???

The illustrator was Garth Williams, so I’m not surprised.

It sounds like the author handled this really well. Kinda wish I knew the canon so I could have more of a conversation about it, but will lurk curiously and hope you get replies from people who do.

Why do you think a story with drama/angst/unhappy ending will be viewed as transphobic?
That doesn't make sense to me, unless you're somehow justifying bad things happening to the transgender character/s as the direct result of their trans-ness, and they 'deserve it' or something.....
