I think the trolling is regarding all the threads lately that just try to rile up Hook fans about is the actor ok, is the character leaving etc etc (it’s gotten old, fast).
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, just be respectful about it.
I wouldn’t call the thread title here trolling as the poster did have something they wanted to express that was at least legitimately character and show driven rather than scare tactics for fans of a character, it’s just an offensive title directed at shippers. I have a feeling this thread was more “it’s icky to like them because” and fully expected everybody to agree and stop liking CaptainSwan. It wasn’t *completely* addressed at the shippers, but it certainly comes across that way, especially when nothing is cut and dried in this show, and as long as there’s no blood relation it really isn’t as bad as it’s made to sound here. Complicated / weird, sure, but what on this show isn’t?
There are fans of every single character / pairing imaginable on this show. Not everyone will love or hate the same things everybody else does. No need to attack people for an aspect of a show we all (supposedly) love that they like that you don’t.
I’ve stayed away from this thread for awhile because I do find it a little offensive but not in the same way the true trolling threads were. It’s just annoying to tell other people that they’re disgusting for liking something. I prefer to have an open mind and enjoy a lot of the characters / ships rather than bash other people for liking something but maybe that’s just me. It’s always easier to express hatred than love I guess, but the anti-Hook and anti-CaptainSwan SHIPPERS has been very annoying lately.
