There's a difference between shipping a pairing and writing/reading porn of it, though.
To preface: yes, plenty of people are in fandom solely for the porn, plenty of people only like to picture two characters they find hot in a romantic/sexual situation, and people are allowed to ship whatever kind of pairings they want for whatever reasons.
But "shipping" only really means liking a pairing - whether you like the pairing as it is in canon, or vaguely think the idea of it would be nice, or like it in G-rated romance fic, or find it hot and want porn of it - whatever.
And if the only pairings you ever like are m/m, whether in canon or in fic or whatever, in all your fandoms...well, I can't pretend that isn't kind of weird to me. It's your own prerogative and I try not to judge, but it still seems odd.
It's not really any different from someone who only ever likes male characters, with no/little exception. Sure, you can argue "strong" female characters are harder to come by than strong male characters. Sure, you may relate better to male characters than female ones most of the time for whatever reason. Sure, you have the right to like whatever the hell you want.
But when men, men, men is all you like or ever care about in any book/TV show/movie/whatever, I can see why that would raise some eyebrows (especially if you claim to be a huge feminist who likes strong female characters, and all that).
