...you think it is unusual to find fictional characters hot and want to fuck them? Even people NOT "in fandom" want to fuck fictional characters.

IMO at least there's a pretty big difference between finding a fictional character hot and wanting to fuck them versus actually shipping yourself with them. I wouldn't bat an eye at people saying doing the first thing but I do agree that the second one is kind of weird.

They are all just fantasies.

nayrt but from what I've seen, I'm not sure that some of the "yume shippers" understand that it's a fantasy. I mean, it's not a new phenomenon (I remember the Snapewives only all too well), but, as an example, most people who have a crush on a fictional character aren't bothered if someone else draws fan art of their crush, or "fictional-other" as yume shippers call their crushes, kissing another fictional character. Whereas I've seen yume shippers getting offended by that because "it's like [character] is cheating on me."

Yeah, to me that's the distinction between someone who has a crush on a fictional character versus a self-/yume-shipper. The person with a crush on a character doesn't care if other people want to draw fanart or write fanfic of the character with another character because they recognize that we're talking about fictional characters who don't really exist. The self-/yume-shippers treat the character like they're a real person and so they get upset if someone wants to ship that character with someone else, or when someone else interprets the character differently than they do.

There is definitely crazy self-shippers, but this isn't specific to self-shippers, just fandom in general. People act very similar with general shipping, death threats and intense shipping wars and acting like a notp is the end of the world.

I would argue it's just a case of Self-shipping getting more attention lately as something cringe, so the worst of the worst get a lot of spotlight. (Also something that happened with shipping and fandom in general.)

I'm not into self-shipping spaces, but I've met a lot more chill self-shippers than not, I normally only hear about the worst.
