NOTP: the opposite of an OTP (One True Pairing). It is a ship a fan strongly dislikes. The word is a portmanteau of ‘no’ and ‘OTP’ and thus is not a contraction of any particular phrase.

Squick: anything that is a deep-seated, visceral turn-off. Squicks may be shared by many fans or be specific to one; one person’s kink may be another person’s squick.

YKINMKATO, or kink-tomato: Your Kink Is Not My Kink, And That’s Okay: used to indicate support for fannish diversity and to distinguish between disapproval or kink shaming and simply having different taste.

DLDR: Don’t Like, Don’t Read: a phrase used to warn against complaints about an aspect of fic or meta. A “live and let live” philosophy of fandom, which places the responsability for avoiding content one doesn’t want to see on the side of the fanwork consumer, rather that on the creator’s.

SALS: Ship And Let Ship: similar to the above specifically about shipping tastes.

YMMV: Your Mileage May Vary: a phrase used to acknowledge that any given individual’s personal opinion on the topic at hand may differ due to their own tastes, standards, values, experiences, etc.

As the OP points out, all of these crucially imply no moral judgment of what they’re designing.

To my non-Jewish friends:

It is heartbreaking to live through such a divided moment, where we seem to have lost the ability to truly see one another. And as a Jewish man, it has been devastating to watch so many people I care about become energized by Zohran Mamdani's rhetoric. Is it pointless for me to try to explain why? Probably. But here's what I have to say:

The Jewish people have been living under the threat of extinction for thousands of years. Not in some abstract way. Literally. For centuries, we were expelled, persecuted, massacred, and nearly wiped off the face of the earth. So when we finally had a tiny sliver of land where we could determine our own future, it became deeply sacred to us.

Its formation was imperfect and remains the subject of profound moral and political debate...one that I myself continue to grapple with. And today, we have a leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, whom I believe has made that reality even more painful. But here's the issue:

Many Jews are not looking at this moment solely through the lens of one leader, or even solely through the immense suffering and loss in Gaza. We are carrying the history of our people, not as history, but in our bones. And when politicians make Israel one of the defining moral issues of their public identity - while atrocities, dictatorships, and humanitarian catastrophes unfold across the globe... it rattles many Jews.

Not because we believe Israel is perfect. Not because we uniformly support Benjamin Netanyahu. And not because we are indifferent to Palestinian suffering. But because history has taught us what it feels like when the world's attention becomes uniquely fixated on the Jewish state - and, for many Jews, by extension, the Jewish people.

You may not see that connection. You may disagree with it. But before dismissing it, I ask that you try to understand where it comes from. So in closing: I'm not asking anyone to turn a blind eye to suffering. I'm asking you to carry our history into the equation, too. To understand that when many Jews react with fear, it isn't because we are incapable of seeing Palestinian suffering. It's because we are carrying thousands of years of Jewish suffering alongside it.

And to my fellow Jews: We will not stop speaking out. We will not stop standing with one another. We will not stop insisting that our history, too, deserves to be seen. We will find our way through this moment. And we will not let hatred define us.

It didn't really get any better from here. They were separated a week later and didn't meet back up for a year. The boy even thought the girl was dead, while the girl spied on the boy.

They had a train wreck of a relationship where they never got on the same page, not once. They fought and broke up, only getting back together after the boy made amends with his gay best friend, who he also fought with.

Their most romantic scenes together paled in comparison to other couples, and their interactions in the final season were stiff and emotionless, as if their actors hated every second of it, up until a melodramatic final scene that may or may not have even happened.

Yet most of the audience shipped them.
