Sure you can :D It's not everyones cup of tea though. Sometimes people pick an OTP and that's that. I can sympothise being a die hard K/S Shipper myself.

This. Some people mulit-ship. Some don't. I can understand being so devoted to one pairing you can't see any others involving certain characters. That's not a crime now, is it? Or suddenly reason to call someone a racist?

No, I just thought it seemed like very faulty logic. "I can't support A/B because I'm so devoted to A/C!"

It's actually very logical. I like seeing A/B together, therefore I don't want to see them be broken up in any way, shape, or form.

Which is why being a OTP K/S shipper, I will never read K/Mc or S/U fics. I'm sure there are good fics for those two pairings out there, but until hell freezes over, I'm not gonna read them. :)

But they're not being broken up... they're just not being shipped.

It's a matter of preference.

OTP means One True Pairing, and for some people that's really true. They find a pairing that they like and the focus solely on that. Just because of it, it doesn't mean that they hate Uhura because she's black/female, it's because she's not their cup of tea, and that's okay. Sometimes you can dislike a character or pairing and there isn't sexist/racist implications behind it. It's very narrow-minded, or rather a black and white perception.

For the record, I would like to say that I don't dislike Uhura, for any reason. :) Well uh, I might resent her a little for calling Kirk a dumb farmboy who has sex with animals just because Kirk tried a pickup line on her, but that's a different story.

However, I dislike S/U. I dislike S/U for the same reason I dislike K/Mc, because they both are in conflict with K/S. (But technically I guess I could be racist against both white and black people, sexist, plus homophobic? You never know. :D)

*blink*

Allow me to explain my view on the matter to you, from the POV of an OTP shipper:

My ship = A/B
Breaking up my ship = A/C, B/D
Not shipping my ship = A/C, B/D, C/D

I have no particular feeling about C/D, but I will not go anywhere near A/C or B/D. In fact, they are probably my anti-OTPs.

I am not saying you should understand this, but the fact is there are people who feel strongly about this kind of thing.

Great.

I am this close to channeling the Shat.

I think it's logical if that is your preference. There are plenty of ships I don't like or can support because I like another ship which competes with it. But I've almost always been a OTP person, sometimes I find a secondary OTP, but I can't support if it overlaps my primary OTP.

But not liking another ship doesn't mean I 'hate' the ship, or those who support it, it's just that I can support it myself.

Ah. You see, I'm the sort of person who gets more into a character. The closest I come to having OTPs is having anti-OTPs, if you see what I mean.

I think Sulu/Chekov is the closest I have ever come to having an OTP, mainly because the other common Chekov-pairings kind of squick me with the age difference stuff.

:D I tend to ship the two characters I adore the most! So in Star Trek case K/S :3 I just think that I'd find reading fic with them paired with another character...weird.

I don't think it's wrong, and I'm all for ship and let ship and I certainly don't hate, but you know, it's just not something I'd be interested in 'cause I have my OTP.

Sulu/Chekov is cute &hearts

I get what you mean though.

Chekov/Sulu has the best pairingsmush name ngl.

And I'm with you about the squicky age difference with other common Chekov pairings _{but only in Reboot!verse}

Hardly surprising, if we consider that in TOS Sulu/Chekov is the only common Chekov pairing.

I think Sulu/Chekov is the closest I have ever come to having an OTP

That is my OTP, and never having an OTP before (just "a pairing which I call my OTP because I mostly write and/or read it") and being the multishipper of doom, I wouldn't have understood this secret about three months ago and reached the same conclusion.

But now, if I decided to casually read Chekov/Scotty (something I had written before OMG OTP OF DOOM) I I would, and do, actually wince, because... just... where the hell is Sulu and why is he not with Chekov. I don't... understand. Does not compute.

I can understand disliking a ship because it interferes with your OTP because of this. Writing Chekov/Scotty fic doesn't harm my OTP in anyway, but I would still get confused and that back tab would appear so tempting.

Yeah, like others have said, this. I tend to be pretty die-hard about my pairings.
