Dead-on.

One of the things I really resent about this proselytizing impulse in shipping is that it's killed the fun of listening to people talk about stuff that I don't ship. I used to browse all the ship manifestos I could find in my fandoms, and more informal talk on the same subject, because it all made canon richer and more fun for me. Even that character that I couldn't stand and thought was 100% obnoxious looked completely different through the eyes of someone who shipped them with all their heart, and I loved it. I found pairings I would never have thought of, I read stories that made me laugh or be impressed with the quality of the writing or ship one specific fan author's version of two characters really hard, and I just felt more connected to people in fandom that otherwise didn't overlap with me in any way, because I could listen and get good stuff out of what they felt.

But, the more people talking about what they ship has devolved into them talking about why this is a sign of good taste or superior morality, or asserting this ship is "the best" ... the more I found myself back-buttoning out in two seconds, flat. I really think fans make complete asses of themselves when they bullshit about any of that, and expect the rest of us to take their claims seriously.

I'm sorry if it came across as trying to say my ship was definitively "the best" because I definitely don't think that. They make more sense to me and listing the reasons in the secret was I guess partially trying to explain to myself why I prefer them, because I've never said those things out loud before.

I have no problem with my friend (or anyone else for that matter) shipping another pairing than me, I just wish she wouldn't make fun of me for it.

Wow, you reminded me of ship_manifesto and I realized that I miss it a lot.
