Listen, if you don’t like a ship, just say that.
If the aesthetic doesn’t appeal to you, or if you feel the characters don’t have chemistry, or if they don’t have the kind of chemistry that attracts you, or if they fall into common tropes you dislike–SAY THAT!
You don’t have to paint two consenting adults as being in an abusive, pedophilic relationship as some kind of an excuse (that’s honestly really offensive). You can just not like a ship for entirely mundane, personal reasons.
Not every ship you hate has to be pedophilic or abusive or [insert other hot-button topic here]. It can just not appeal to you, and that’s fine. There are loads of ships that just don’t appeal to me, and you don’t see me trying to paint them as horribly abusive to explain myself.
Just chill out, ship what you want, let others ship what they want, and stop harassing people over this stupid shit. It’s all fiction, it means nothing.
