(Anonymous) 2012-05-26 01:00 am (UTC)(link)Whoops, I meant to say that the best option is not to ship anything at all. But still, sorry for having opinions on the internet :D You can enjoy your slash and all that bullshit, just don't try to claim it's canon, and remember that you are judged by your company. (Shipping a pairing=/=liking a pairing)

You're gonna strain something trying to backpedal that hard out of that deep a hole, you know. And how exactly are shipping a pairing and liking a pairing not the same thing?
P.S. -- you still sound like a gigantic douchewaffle, so please, judge away and pretend other people care if that's the only thing that gives your life meaning anymore.

(Anonymous) 2012-05-26 01:32 am (UTC)(link)So it's okay for you to judge people who have opinions different from yours, but it's not okay for us to judge you in response?
'Kay.

Seriously, the casual homophobia in this comment is disgusting. Why would slash get a special mention as "bullshit" when there are tons and tons of a rabid het shippers?
Also, saying you ship something is just a different way of saying you like it.
Finally, people do not "keep company" with every single other person who ships their ship. They "keep company" with the people they actually interact with. A person is not automatically associated with someone just because they drew a picture of the same people being romantic. It goes in the opposite direction too, just because you ship something where the fans are all nice and polite it doesn't automatically make you nice and polite as well.

Still hoping it's a particularly inept yet dedicated troll, but sadly I know way too many who actually think like this to write it off entirely.
no subject
Also in my experience most of the really infamously rabid ships are het. Slash shippers can be plenty obnoxious but they're much more likely to side-eye people who start tinhatting. Probably YMMV but offhand the only infamous ship I can think of what is slash is a canon couple.

At the absolute worst, our conversations veer into friendly debate territory, and said debates never involve shipping because, well, I have other fandom friends to squee over my pairings with and she doesn't have any to squee over in the first place. We're too busy coming up with weird shit like "Pfffft it would be hilarious if Dean turned out to be God all along, he'd be the most pissed off at the revelation" and "So what effect would drinking angel blood have? ...Let's have Cas get captured by witches and see what happens" to argue about shipping preferences.

There's one pairing I'm fairly fond of, and I don't interact with the fandom at all anymore except by posting fic, because it's huge and overwhelming and the people who ship that pairing tend to be obnoxious. But I still like the pairing itself. Are those obnoxious shippers considered my company even if I haven't paid attention to them in years?

(Anonymous) 2012-05-26 02:26 am (UTC)(link)You know what why do I bother.
no subject
Oh, Lord... People have been whining like this since I started on the 'Net in the mid 90's. "I can express my opinion, but as soon as people express one that disagrees with mine, OMG YOU'RE ALL OPPRESSING ME!!"
You can enjoy your slash [...] just don't try to claim it's canon
Ok, aside from the fact that there ARE canon gay and lesbian couples, the fact that you single out slash (cuz no one EVER ships non-canon STRAIGHT couples, amirite?) suggests that you just might be a homophobic douche.

"(Shipping a pairing=/=liking a pairing)"
. . . . sorry, does this make logical sense??
no subject
(Anonymous) 2012-05-26 05:29 am (UTC)(link)explain please.

And you do realize, right, that only a small and relatively off-the-wall percentage of non-canon shippers actually claim that their ship is canon?
no subject
Go ahead have all the opinions in the world, but if you can judge me I can judge your for being an intolerant, homophobic idiot who thinks the world revolves around him/her.
Also, saying "your ships will influence your real life relationship" sounds to me as if you would also tell a person who likes to read rape fic he/she obviously wants to be raped.
no subject
Yeah, I only ship characters I can't stand together myself. *eyeroll*
