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.

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.

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.
