This - it particularly worries me when they jump to the conclusion that I don't ship character X because it 'interferes' with one of my ships/I 'don't like' female characters [this actually is something a lot of people assume in one of my fandoms if you don't like the main female character that shows up, regardless of your feelings towards the rest], when it's usually either me being apathetic to the character, or just not seeing them have any romantic chemistry with anyone.

I don't think it's anything wrong with not shipping a character because it interferes with a pairing you prefer. What's the problem, exactly? It isn't a slight on the character, it only means you prefer a different pairing. You can still love a character even if you think the canon ship for them is crap.

Well, from what I've seen the reasoning behind not liking that is because a lot of the time someone who gets upset over a character who interferes with another character 'getting in the way of their ship' will flat out bash the character 'interfering', and wank on people who do ship the 'rival' ship.

Personally, I don't see why anyone *cares* if other people ship a pairing that involves one of the characters in your OTP or whatever...but I'm also a multi-shipper so I'm probably a tad biased.

[sarnath]

Haha, I'm usually a hardcore OTPer, but it's not as if I mind people shipping rivalling couples. I mean, it's all about taste, right? What dynamics and character combinations one prefers. Just because I think a pairing is the best ever doesn't mean I expect everybody else to agree with me!

But yeah, I'm not on board with putting a character down just because they happen to be in the way of or a rival to the ship I prefer. I will like or dislike a character because of their characterisation, not who they're paired up with.

Eh, I've got no problems with people having OTPs, or with them disliking pairings in general. I know there are pairings that I don't care for, and pairings I just don't get - and as you said, just because I tend to have a fleet when it comes to ships doesn't mean I'm going to expect everyone to feel the same way.

I generally just don't hold with bashing pairings/characters. Don't like them? Fine, but bashing isn't cool...particularly since people will feel the need to do it whenever it's brought up which can make for some very awkward times for the pairing/character's fans. @_@
