My next post wasn't even going to be about this, but damn, these Ichiruki's dont know how to let things go. The audacity of Ichiruki fans to play victim, knowing damn well how toxic their fanbase can be, is just pathetic. Do you think we care about your ship? No, we don't, we're tired of ya'll harassing us every day, and how you feel the need to say "IcHiHiMe iS tRaSh" every single day.
Newsflash, just because you think the ship sucks doesnt mean it actually sucks. You can just say it's not your cup of tea, but you go out of your way to insult us again. By saying you believe the ship is bad, you are unintentionally insulting those of us who like the ship by saying we like bad romances, which is not true.
But then again, you Ichiruki's always have this superiority complex where you think you're better than everyone and that you "know what good writing looks like," give me a break.
For every one toxic Ichihime, there are like 100 toxic Ichiruki's; the level of toxicity is not the same, babes. You guys harassed the VA and Kubo, you burned bleach merch, made fan art where Orihime d!es so Ichruki could happen. You made comics where Ichigo and Rukia cheat with each other on Orihime and Renji, where Ichigo m4rders Renji to be with Rukia, and where a girl jumped into the universe to "fix" the ship with their kids right there. You've made comics where Kauzi d!es, you hoped Orihime would d!e because she "threatens" your ship. You even got an artist banned for her Ichihime art because you hated it so much that you lied that she plagiarized someone else when making that art, and it wasn't true.
You've harassed Ichihime fans way more than Ichihime fans have harassed you, and yes, you need to acknowledge that if you really want to talk about toxic Ichihime. Almost every day on Tumblr, there are some salty ass Ichiruki's who STILL feel the need to trash on the ship that got canon because you're sad you didn't get your ship to be canon? Grow tf up. You STILL write essays on how the ship is bad, and most, if not all, your points are just wrong, sexist, or just you being a hater. You can scream "because it's canon doesnt mean it's good" all you want, you're convincing no one but yourselves, because guess what? Just because it's not canon doesnt mean it's good.
Are there toxic Ichihime's? Of course, there are bad apples in every fandom. One of the more toxic points Ichihime would use was that Orihime was"hotter" than Rukia, or that Rukia is a p3d0 for liking Ichigo when he's underage. Look, I get it's weird but age differences in Bleach are finicky anyways. But to sit and cry victim is just showcasing how you're ignoring your own problems in your own fandom just to give yourself room to say "Ichihime is a bad ship". Like I said before, just because you don't like it, doesnt mean it's objectively bad, but you guys are so far up your own egos you can't fathom the idea that you dont like a ship just because it was made canon and your ship didn't become canon.
The fact that there are still Ichiruki fans obsessing over Ichihime because they think it's objectively bad is all you need to see that you guys have issues and you need to learn to accept what happened and move on, it's a fictional ship ffs. "Oh BuT iF iChIhImE dIdNt bEcOmE cAnOn YoU'd AlSo Be UpSet" that's the same mentality of saying if I was a p3d0 I'd defend it, like that's not the point. Us Ichihime's as a MAJORITY dont gaf about Ichiruki. We dont care that people have non-canon ships, and we're not out here making essays upon essays upon essays on why your ship is bad. You can Google right now anti-ichihime posts and get a million of them, but searching for anti-ichiruki posts is like finding gold in the sand.
I even checked right now on Tumblr the latest "anti Ichiruki" and "anti Ichihime" tags, and guess what I found? NO anti-ichiruki posts in the last few months and TONS of anti-ichihime posts in the last 2 weeks. This toxic war is extremely one-sided, but you hate Ichihime so much you dont care about toxicity, all you care about is being right about a fictional ship (I censored the ads for me, that's why there are black spaces).
Anti Ichiruki search filled with pro Ichiruki posts.
For the anti-ichihime tag, on the other hand.
It's honestly sad and pathetic to see the same people saying the same crap over and over again. Even when you specifically go search for the tag, the anti-ichiruki posts are months old, whereas the anti-ichihime posts (I'll ignore the one just posted) are like 2 weeks old. We don't care about your ship as much as you think we do.
Enjoy your ship, and we'll enjoy ours. I dont think for a moment that if someone feels the need to make an anti-ichihime post this often that they're confident in their ship, you're just salty your ship didn't get canon and because you dont know how to respect other peoples opinions and likes, so you need to trash on us and lie about us while also downplaying youre fandoms toxicity which even non-bleach fans have acknowledged it as a problem. Grow up.
