Educated guessing dictates that I've been in fandom longer than most people here, which probably includes you, and I would actually call the thing you insist is not shipping and has always been wrong to call shipping, "casual shipping"! One wouldn't look at a pair of characters you'd like to see get together in canon but aren't invested in for fandom purposes and go "OMG OTP!!!!!" But one would, and this has always been true in my experience, perhaps say something like "I ship them casually I guess."

Yeah, the word "ship" has never implied any particular level of investment in the pairing, it literally just means "I would like to see these characters in a relationship." Not sure where AYRT is getting that from.

Another fandom old here: I agree with AYRT. I've always understood shipping as fandom participation. If you want them to get together but you don't talk about it with your fandom friends, write meta, or read or write about it - you don't ship it.
