(Anonymous) 2013-12-04 04:50 am (UTC)(link)I have no problems with other people's shipping choices, including the decision to have Ymir bang a dude and like it. As people up-thread have pointed out: sexuality is fluid, bisexuality exists, and if you don't like it, you'd be better served not reading it than being all mean-spirited and judgy and ruining someone else's fun.

(Anonymous) 2013-12-04 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)Yes, sexuality is fluid and bisexuality exists and even people interested wholly in one gender can find exceptions. I'm not denying that's all true, and I think it's fine to explore those things in fanfic and what not. But I'm talking more about Ymir/Berholdt as a ship, and why it specifically bothers me. When a person takes two same-sex couples best supported by canon, and splits them both up so that all four characters are now in het relationships, despite at least two of those characters blatantly saying they weren't into that? Yeah, I'm gonna think that's weird! I'm not gonna bother anyone about it or think their homophobic or anything, but it does make me uncomfortable.
If someone genuinely likes Ymir/Berholdt on it's own merits, then great, more power to them! I'd actually be really interested in hearing their thoughts on it. But all that I've seen of the ship comes across more as 'keep Ymir and Berholdt conveniently out of the way', and the fact that doing so pairs the only girl in the series canonically stated to not like dudes with a dude leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
