#dynam shipping

I’m making it my goal for 2018 to popularize “dynam” as a term to refer to an abusive, unhealthy relationship-- i.e. a pairing, romantic or otherwise, that is NOT held up as a good or ideal relationship, but rather just an interesting dynamic to explore, flaws and all.

A lot of misunderstandings can be avoided if we refer to fluff ships and abuse ships as different things!! And I think this is the perfect way to do it.

I didn’t come up with this but I definitely think it should be a bigger thing. Calling a ship a “dynam” can just be a quick little flag that says “this pairing is unhealthy”. Cut off shipping arguments before they start!
