What gets me is that this is supposed to be a “ship and let ship” community and yet… I and some other CSers feel like we can’t step outside our thread because of Killian bashing. I didn’t think there were a lot of haters on this site but from what I’m hearing….. yeah. Thank goodness I haven’t seen any of this stuff. I like that we don’t have to resort to hating Neal in order for our ship to sail on
I’m starting to feel like that too, I used to like going on the episode thread saying my favorite and least favorite moment, reading everybody’s reaction but after a while it was like here I am happy about an episode when all of a sudden there’s this anti Hook anti CS hissing going on and it was better just to be among shipmates 🙂
I mean I really don’t have anything against Neal, and other than the romantic SwanFire stuff his character is actually starting to grow on me. On the flip side though I hear a lot more Hook bashing than Neal bashing. I know there’s bad apples on every ship but you’d think with as much CS stuff as I see I’d end up seeing more Neal bashing just cause I’m looking at the opinions of a variety of CS shippers (I’d be bound to run in to more bad apples from my ship)! What I see more of is responses to attacks on Hook’s character, a lot of hidden Easter eggs from episodes, parallels, and general swooning (If anybody wants to fact check me on this feel free to but I’m pretty sure it checks out :P).
