Armchair psychology much? Also, there *is* a difference between shipping and saying "I'm a fan of X music" - which is really all the t-shirt you mentioned says.

Or are you saying people only wear "I <3" t-shirts for stuff they get off on?

NA: Are you saying people only ship things they get off on? I agree having it on a shirt might be taking it too far, but you can definitely find a ship interesting to read about without getting the urge to knock one off.

If someone is so invested in a ship that they feel the need to buy a shirt and wear it outside of some convention/relevant meetup, hell yeah I am going to be having 2nd hand embarassment to the same level of someone wearing a shirt advocating two celebrities get together

i've noticed that people who think its appropriate to wear those kinds of shirts in public are also the sort of people who think its appropriate to discuss those things with strangers. last year i was in my local jeweler buying a necklace for my mom for mothers day, and there was a socially-awkward girl in a castiel t-shirt who was talking about supernatural to the cashier. i don't even know how the conversation started, but she kept mentioning "wincest" and "destiel" and the cashier was clearly confused and uncomfortable with the conversation but didn't know how to end it.

its always so jarring to see internet-level fangirling occurring in real life. i can totally understand why everyday people look at things like fandom and fanfiction with disdain.

idk, I think it really depends on the person and the shirt. A slogan of that type doesn't seem too bad to me, and if the wearer has enough self-restraint to simply wear it and let other fans she might meet approach her and strike up a conversation, I'd see no real issue with that.

OTOH, a t-shirt that included explicit language or images, or a wearer who accosts everyone they meet about their ship whether they're fellow fans or not, would be pretty cringe-worthy.
