Can I ask what the appeal of the Jetaru ship is? I don't quite get it.
Hoo boy this is gonna be a tough one. First of all thank you for your question I was kinda thinking nobody checked this page out at all. :)
Now for the debate. My first reaction would be "why not ship it" but that lacks any kind of real insight into the whole issue.
To be honest with you I don't even remember how I started shipping them. I was and still am a rabid Zutara fangirl which expanded me into a Sokkla fan as well. So I was always more into those parings in the Avatar fandom. But I remembered that one of my favourite characters was Haru who got little love from the fans and a horrible mustache to top that. I was always thinking about who he could be paired up with and the most logical conclusion popped up with Jet. Their relationship very very much reminded me of Iruka and Kakashi from Naruto so that helped a bit.
I don't really know what to tell you. I do get flack from even my friends for liking yaoi ships but usually i just shrug and try to brush it off with "it's just fantasy, it ain't hurting anyone" /:)
