Here’s hoping this doesn’t happen
I’m blue if I was green
Anstreim is a member of the Joycatters!
I just discovered that there’s no Cult emote on the forums.
Shame.
Anstreim was forcibly executed by the Hex Master!
I still want this to be a thing
I really do
I meant this one:
Anstreim and Arete are compatible!
bzzzt
we interrupt this obvious and funny shipping joke to have Random Aroace Comes In And Complains About Shipping For Ten Minutes
it’s everybody’s favourite segment
you kniow, the bit where I show up and talk about how while there’s nothing inherrently wrong with shipping the culture surrounding it is really weird
Icibalus and katze are incompatible!
Execute katze
They confirmed evil
Ah shit, here we go again.
/Vote katastrophe
most notably it’s that way that shippers get really absorbed into their ships and eventually end up in this weird place in which the most popular ships in the fandom are basically rival poltical parties because they usually involve the same characters
Ici you are my lone beacon of light in this infernal pit of darkness.
Anstribalus
Okay
I’ll stop
and what I want to know is why people care so much? I get the appeal, obviously, because people deeply care for characters, and they want to see those characters be happy in the way that The Allos™ become happy. but there’s this really weird culture around them that it’s hard to put into words without mischaracterising people who get really into shipping in fandoms
i think it’s more that the language around shipping within fandoms paints your choice of which characters enter the Character Fusion Cave From Every Shitty Anime Gacha Game as like your choice of poltiical opinions: if you live here, having them is compulsory, and you get weird looks in some fandoms if you don’t
