A Rant About Shipping

“A Rant About Shipping”

I’m back to my rant routines because, well, it only takes so much to trigger me about the fandom community of any popular/unpopular media. So let me get on with it. I’m getting real sick and tired of people hating shippings in general, no matter if it’s gay or straight. The general public online makes such a big deal out of it that I can’t help but find all the arguments and objections absolutely pitiful. Is everyone on the internet just mere children, or children in adult disguises?

First off, I get it - shippings/ship wars are part of what makes fandoms toxic and unbearable to be a part of. I am hyper-aware. That being said, the concept of shipping shouldn’t be seen as something as god awful or detrimental to society or some shit like that. People like pairing fictional characters together, so what? Its fuckin fiction! The very knowledge that it's being done shouldn’t kill you. If people want to make fanart or fanfiction out of it, they have the right to. Don’t portray ALL of these people like freaks and make them feel bad about what they like and do. It’s more than rude or disrespectful, it's stupid and a waste of time. Mind your damn business and move on, ignore them. You only want the source material after all, right? So just watch or read or play your shit and stay off of Tumblr, Deviantart, Zerochan, the comment section; anywhere really if you can neither handle it nor act mature.

Second, to everyone who hates gay shippings= why, just why? Does it really throw you off the deep end to see two fictional characters of the same sex being paired together and drawn romantically (or sexually) with one another? Cuz it ain’t straight? Give me a fuckin break. I’m not religious so I don’t fuckin care if you believe it's wrong and shouldn’t be promoted. It's no different from fanart/fanfiction/NSFW of straight shippings, in my eyes. So really, get a grip. I’d respect the outrage more if there were actually informative and insightful reasons against them, but nah it’s just “ew, gets this gay shit off my screen” or “rabid fujoshis always be fapping to men getting it on”. You are indeed allowed to voice your opinion about it, hell there are gay ships AND straight ships I utterly despise, but you shouldn’t go so far and call all these fans perverted, crazy, or stupid. That’s just not true; if anything you come off as butthurt or insecure about some shit that you definitely need to fix.

Lastly, to everyone who hates straight shipping= you are way too extreme for no fuckin reason. I hate SJWs and special snowflakes for this very reason. Not everyone has similar tastes, don’t assume they are homophobes just because they don’t ship two men together or two women together. Your opinions are not superior to theirs, lay off. If you don’t like, don’t look. Stop villainizing everyone with different views, and quit making everything about representation and diversity. Tone down and be respectful, for god’s sake! Enough with the ship wars, it achieves nothing - y’all just wanna hate each other and for what? Absolutely fuckin nothing! 

Am I done? I hope so. This has become irritating and I learned that blowing off steam makes me feel better. Do I sound selfish and petty? Maybe. Did any of this made sense? Probably not. But I don’t fucking care.

"I'm Stuck In The 90's And Early 2000's" (Part 2)

Gotta include TV Shows. They were awesome (still are)!

Gee...

I sure hate but laugh at the fact that most of the likes on my posts are from porn blogs.

"The 'Almost Got It' Bad Luck"

I've been cursed with it since the day I was born.

"When You Start Your 1st Job"

I'm gonna be real shitty the first week, aren't I?

"Fandoms"

Why can't anyone get along? Why hate on someone or a group for doing or liking something you don't particularly like (Ex: Analysis, Opinions, SHIPS, especially ships, etc.)? If it makes them happy, let them be. Don't force your views down people's throats or get them to agree with you. And you most definitely shouldn't shame or bash them for it. Enjoy what you enjoy, and be mindful of everyone else. Respect one another. There's no need to be toxic.
