You can be a fan of something and still see flaws in the writing, characterization and continuity.
You can be a fan of something and dislike the writer/s and their writing style/s.
You can be a fan of something and notice and discuss problematic elements of it.
You can be a fan of something and critique and analyze it.
You can be a fan and do none of the above.
Stop judging others for how they choose to enjoy their media or their opinions and beliefs.

We came across this in the Disneyland Mickey and Friends parking structure. To the owner of this car – marry me.
Anime Vegas
What is that stripey tailed creature saying “hurry” in Japanese?
That is one of the mascots for Anime Vegas that I designed. He was on the staff t-shirts last year. 🙂 He’s, uh, basically Conan as a white tiger cub, but you didn’t hear that from me… Anyway, I call him Rampo.
I have no idea what they’re doing this year, though. I don’t appear to be on staff anymore… and I can’t go, anyway. o_o
Guys I may need a new tablet soon! Or at least a new cover, if replacement ones exist… but I guess I’ve been using this one almost every day for the past 7 years, so I shouldn’t really be surprised… 🙂
still, it’s crazy how all of those little scratches can interfere
you can ship something and
- still understand and respect that a particular character wouldn’t be into the relationship at that point in time or ever
- accept it if the characters never get together in canon
- be completely fine with other people not shipping it
- not hate the characters’ canon relationships or romantic/sexual partners
- realize that being in a sexual/romantic relationship with the other character(s), or with anyone at all, might not be healthy for one or both of the characters
- if the characters are already in a sexual/romantic relationship with each other, acknowledge that there are things about that relationship that are fucked up and unhealthy
- admit each character’s faults honestly and not excuse them (understanding =/= excusing)
- differentiate between what you want to see in canon and what you want to write/read about in fic/see in art
- understand that ships serve different needs for different people; not every ship or representation of a ship is about healthy, loving romantic relationships. Some ships are about unhealthy codependency; some are about hatesex. Ships are a way of working out fantasies that we can’t and sometimes shouldn’t fulfill in real life, or about working through real-life fears, hopes, and pains. Writing something is not tantamount to saying “this is 100% awesome”. Sometimes we have to indulge our ids, and that doesn’t mean we get a free pass to not think about issues of representation or ensure that the people reading our fics know what to expect, but it all comes down to, for me, the fact that life is too fucking short and painful to have to feel like shit for what goes on in our heads so long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else.
