Well, as long as the two people aren't involved with anyone else in canon it's still technically possible that they'll get together at some point even if it doesn't actually happens in canon. And hey, just because it's not a realistic hope doesn't mean we can't have it! "Destroying the pleasure" is a bit dramatic, don't you think? I think people can handle me not thinking their pairing should be canon. Just as I can handle their opinion that my pairing shoulndn't be canon...

And it's shipping; if one really loves a couple, how fun is it to see one or both of them involved with someone else?

Unless you would've disliked the pairing in question even completely separate from the fact that it conflicts with your OTP

Actually, I do this as well; I thought S/U was a terrible idea for several reasons.

[intrigueing]

When I said "destroying the pleasure", I meant having that canon couple break up in canon. That destroys the pleasure of the shippers of the canon couple, while it barely does anything to enhance your pleasure, because your couple won't become canon, and the breakup doesn't bring it any closer to canon. I think it's kinda selfish.

If you think S/U is a bad couple all on its own, then yes THAT's a good reason to want them to break up in canon, but you didn't mention that in your comment so I didn't know.

[sarnath]

Hey, my pleasure is in a constant state of destruction by not having K/S being canon, you know!

But yeah, I prefer the characters I like to pair up being uninvolved in canon if they can't be with each other even if other people ship them with their current canon love interest. I don't even think it's that horrible to feel this way!

I had problems with how S/U was executed (timing, Spock's characterisation, how Uhura's screentime was used), but I don't see any inherent problems with the pairing aside from that. Aside from it not being the one I want, of course...
