I'm not sure if you're misunderstanding my point, or if I'm just explaining it badly (haven't been sleeping well the last couple of days). But I'll try again, because why not.

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.
