Why? I'm a lesbian and I personally don't feel bad. I guess in my case I don't read much (or any) femslash at all because I am just not a fan of romance and I haven't found the right F/F ship that hits my id in ~7 years or so. It is what it is. I guess I prefer female-focused gen over relationships.

I stopped caring for any ships, period, even when I was in a relationship I felt this way. I just grew out of it, I even avoid content for the handful of ships I am okay with.

[(Anonymous)]

Are you suggesting that people interested in relationships haven't grown up?

[paperghost]

...No. Jfc. I just grew out of being interested in fictional relationships.

[(Anonymous)]

So...shippers are people who haven't grown up?

[(Anonymous)]

'grew out' and 'grew up' are not the same thing.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, "grow out of" has a similar value judgment attached to it. When someone talks about growing out of something, they're usually implying that it's an immature interest.

Think about it. If you told someone about a hobby of yours, how would you feel if their response was, "oh, I grew out of that?"

[(Anonymous)]

This. There's a big difference between saying "that's not really my thing these days" and "oh, I grew out of that." The first one is a completely neutral statement; people's interests change, they move on from things they used to enjoy for whatever reason, and that's fine. It's not passing any judgment on the people who DO still enjoy it, it's just saying that you yourself just aren't into it anymore.

But like you said, "I grew out of that" carries the implication that they're now too mature for that particular interest, which by extension implies that the people who ARE still into it are somehow immature.

nayrt

It really doesn't. Someone personally growing out of something doesn't mean someone else should. If one person was less mature when they liked shipping, that says nothing about the maturity of others who enjoy it. Because shipping is not bad or immature in itself, that's how their preferences changed as they grew. I grew out of finger painting because I only liked it as a kid, other people make a hobby out of it as adults, neither of us is immature, we are mature in different ways. Simple concept, or should be.

DA

I also don't see "growing out" as a moral or personal value? It's like I have an old pair of shoes that are too small and some shirts that are too big because I physically changed. Does that mean people who wear a size 8 shoe or XL shirt are bad or should change? No, its just a difference between people. Nothing more, nothing less.

HOW DARE YOU SAY WE PISS ON THE POOR

[paperghost]

You are searching for things to get offended by at this point. Statements people make about themselves aren't a reflection on you.

[(Anonymous)]

Does that work for you in real life? "Stop being insulted by the insulting things I say. The words I use shouldn't have any effect on the meaning of what I'm saying, since words are all basically interchangeable."

I think it would be hilarious if you went traveling, said a bunch of things that are rude in that country, and then whined about how everyone there was looking for something to be offended by.
