To the lovers of a ship: Don’t let people stop you from drawing/writing/shipping your otps. Whether canon, fanon, GL, BL, Het, or crack otps— you own your hands, you own your brain, do what you like. No one has the right to tell you to stop. (◡ ‿ ◡ ✿)
To the haters of a ship: Instead of tearing down another ship in favor of your own, use that energy to contribute fanworks to your own otps. If you think your ship is superior, do more for it instead of whining about why you hate this ship or that. (⊙ ◒ ⊙ ✿)
Then everyone will be happy without feeling degraded.
