OP - This is basically what I've been doing lately, haha. I understand that people are going to ship what they ship and like what they like, and I don't begrudge them that. I just find it frustrating when I got into tags or fandom spaces that are supposed to be dedicated to other characters or pairings and find Sterek slowly bleeding its way in and the more OTT Sterek shippers finding their way into non-Sterek conversations and basically talking over everyone. Sterek's not my main ship, but I still like it quite a bit, but I find that kind of behavior kind of rude and frustrating. I know a lot of it is just excitement about the pairing and wanting to share with other people about it, but there is a portion of the Sterek fandom that just needs to learn to tone it down a bit.

TBH, I mostly made this secret because I was frustrated with all of the "OMG BUT WHAT IF THIS MEANS THAT STYDIA WILL BECOME CANON AND NOW STEREK WILL NEVER BE CANON?!" whining filling up the Jackson, Colton, and Teen Wolf tags after we found out Colton was leaving. As someone who'd just found out their favorite character would no longer be on the show, it was pretty frustrating to see people crying about how terrible it was, not because Jackson would be gone, but because it might sink their ship. And then a lot of people who actually spoke up and pointed out that this was kind of inconsiderate behavior got told by the more OTT Sterek shippers that they were being immature or selfish about it. I know that people have different priorities and things they're going to worry about, but it doesn't seem totally uncalled for to ask that they keep that kind of thing in the Sterek tag or in their own journals and not flood the other tags or non-Sterek discussions with it.
