Yeah, I can get that OP. I mean honestly in terms of shipping mlp porn is not something I'm into at all, but I like to ship some of them because it can be adorable. Honestly porn in that fandom weirds me out and I'm not attracted to any of the characters that way to begin with.

Similarly, with ATLA, I shipped Zukaang and Kataang and Taang (yeah, I ship Aang with a good number of people, sue me) but I wasn't attracted to any of the characters that way either. I just thought they were cute/hilarious together and were capable of making each other happy in some way.

Granted I became attracted to LOK!Aang in a way but then he's a friggin' adult there...

I think for some ships there can be a definite element of some of the shipping motivation being based on attraction too- for instance many Zuko shippers have this and I think I have this with Asami on some level (honestly I always choose the wrong fandom bike according to my history D:). But not all of us do nor do all the time.

Shipping a character you find attractive isn't a bad thing though, hardly. It only gets bad if your blind devotion comes to a point where you're actually not seeing the 'real' them. Like the fact I love adorkable canon zuko rather than what in earlier fandom days some of his fans thought him as- suave and charming. Or how sometimes fandom can scream bloody murder if a character of theirs is rejected by the the other party in their favoured ship or they've instead gone off in a rival ship. I think that can happen in those not attracted but it's more...common I believe in those who are?
