8. No, I didn't. I did it because I really do feel that way. I expected people to get upset about it, which is why it's anonymous. :)

Doesn't change the fact that you're a moron. I mean really, do you expect people to conform to your standards of what's acceptable and what's not? There's hardly anything that's completely supported by canon and it's often really boring.

The point is that I think it's idiotic that people have to create romances in fictional universes that do not belong to them instead of focusing on the plot or established character relationships (not just romantic ones, I mean). Especially when those universes already have romances that are completedly valid and interesting. "Really boring"? Then don't be into fandom just for the fucking!

[klytaemnestra.livejournal.com]

I agree that people do focus too much on pairings, but that still doesn't justify hating people for liking things not 'canon'. I'm a huge advocate of canon pairings myself, but I'm not going to say that people can't like something else or are stupid for doing so. You're quite angry, you know. I'm hardly in fandom for the fucking as you said. Dumbass.

[(Anonymous)]

I never said I wasn't an angry person. And I was well aware beforehand that it is not a very popular opinion. Again, that's why it's a secret. :)

[klytaemnestra.livejournal.com]

There are several hundred replies on here. Why the hell should you be concerned with my opinion of this? That means you're not very confident in your resolve.

Oh please.

There's a difference between people who ship non-canon pairings for fun and understand that the pairing isn't canon and those who ship a non-canon pairing and insist that it's actually canon.

Learn to distinguish before you pass judgements, dumbass. I can understand that people who constantly insist that their pairings are canon when they're not are annoying, but people who just joke around or write fics for fun? What's wrong with that.

If you've got a problem with people creating romance in fictional universes, then shouldn't you have an equal problem with people creating fanfiction AT ALL? After all, fanfiction encroaches on your precious canon.

Be aware that it IS possible to accept canon WHILE shipping one's non-canon pairings.

[klytaemnestra.livejournal.com]

Exactly, there are a lot of fandoms I'm into where there is something there that's going to be canon to interfere with a possible pairing and I acknowledge it and often embrace it and incorporate it. I hate it when people do completely disregard something in canon for the sake of pairing up character a with character b, but most fandoms leave room for playing around with stuff.

[lostremnant.livejournal.com]

And there are animes/games/manga where there won't ever be canon pairings because of the nature of the anime/game/manga.

Bleach comes to mind. Speaking canon wise there are NO pairings in Bleach because it's a manga (and then anime) that's really focused on fighting. Any hints of romance is used for comic relief. So if you're going to go strictly by canon then you can't possibly write ANY pairings with Bleach characters.

But there are little things that are suggestive in Bleach and which you can use to build a pairing with. So people do so. And I don't see anything wrong with that. If you, OP don't like it fine. Don't read it (or in the case of art, don't look at it) but saying that other people are morons for doing it does nothing more than make you look incredibly immature.
