I have been seeing a lot of posts discussing âwhy you should not ship XYZ coupleâ and âwhy XYZ ship is badâ and âif you ship XYZ you are a bad person,â etc.
Listen, I get it. If you donât like a ship, you donât like it. It happens and itâs fine. However, this is a fandom. A unique thing about fandoms is the connection and creation of new ideas from a body of workâand that means that these ideas can be anything! They can be any-damn-thing you want them to be because they are just thoughts that make someone happy! And sometimes these thoughts help in new and exciting thingsâlike self discovery! or like coping with a difficult situation or circumstance! So, if someone wants to ship a coupleâthey can ship a couple. If someone wants to interpret something in the book/movie/show/source-material in a certain wayâthey can interpret. Nothing you say or do is going to indefinitely and ïżŒcompletely alter someoneâs opinions. So, if you donât like someoneâs ideas, art, headcanons, fics, blurbs, etc. thatâs fineâjust keep scrolling.
Fandoms are inclusive and meant to be a safe space to enjoy things that make one happy. Therefore, just let people be happy in their own little worlds.
