"Wow people just know how to ruin fandoms these days"
Has to be the one statement that makes my blood boil because it is always, and I mean ALWAYS under queer ship posts. Like please grow tf up because in all honesty if these ships are bothering you I don't think it's "people in fandoms these days" it's a YOU issue.
"But they're like brothers"
"So men can't be friends anymore?"
It was never said these characters had to stop being friends but if in some people's interpretations they might view these characters as a little more than friends and this happens in all types of media *cough cough* THE COUPLE THAT HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL BUT NEVER BECAME CANON* (usually straight ships) *cough cough*. It's the exact same thing just now we have two people of the same gender. See them as brothers/sisters, see them as best pals. That's how YOU interrupt the relationship. STOP FORCING YOUR THOUGHTS ONTO EVERYONE WHETHER IT BE CANON OR NOT
Furthermore the way you treat shipping is a clear show of how long you've been on the internet because if it bothers you so GODDAMN MUCH that two characters of the same gender are being shipped you obviously haven't been here for a long time have you?
Shipping is a fun activity and something lighthearted it's genuinely crazy that some people have whole wars over 2 harmless ships.
Please grow up fr. You're not going to die because two characters you see as besties are holding hands and blushing in a piece of fanart just scroll away honestly it's not that hard man...
