There's a difference between self shippers and crazies.

On the one hand, you have people having fantasies of their favorite characters getting together and write it down - totally normal fanfic

On the other hand, you have people having fantasies of their favorite characters getting together with them and write it down - totally normal self shipping fanfic

Then there's Those People who do not understand what fiction is and get jealous of other people liking Their Character (tm) or say they're Kin or whatever. It's not self shipping or even a subset of self shippers; it's people who, deliberately or otherwise, blur the lines between fiction and reality and make it everyone else's problem.

IDK, I feel like shipping canon characters and self-shipping aren't really comparable.

Shipping canon characters is like playing with Barbies. One person might want to ship Barbie with Ken, someone else might want to ship Barbie with one of the Ninja Turtles, and someone else might want to ship three different Barbies together. But at the end of the day everyone is just playing with dolls and it's all fiction.

Self-shipping is like shipping yourself with Barbie. That by definition is blurring the lines between fiction and reality, because you are real and Barbie is not. So whether they're making it everyone else's problem or not, it's not the same thing as people who are shipping two different fictional characters together.
