I think there's some medias that you just cannot meaningfully engage with if your main priority is shipping
(Tired aroace voice, metaphorical cigarette in hand) You don't have to make them kiss... they don't always have to kiss...
So many other kinds of human connection get put to the wayside with our current cultureβs obsession with romantic love.
Donβt get me wrong itβs ok to ship romance but it doesnβt have to be the only type of relationship we celebrate in media, fandom space included.
I also just get tired of people not wanting to engage with the media any deeper other than shipping. Or the analysis is only through romantic or sexual ships. There's more the media than romance and sex, it's just one small part!
