Most CS’ers have also had Hook repeatedly bashed over the summer break, so if you ask a CS shipper/fan which ship is loudest or most in your face- we’ll probably say the opposite- SwanFires lol. Thankfully the hate hasnt been on here & the one time it did happen it was dealt with smartly. I dont read the SF threads myself (I dont see the point of working myself up over another ships interpretation of events
) I just think we should ship & let ship- always & forever
I agree! Again, I think this is just a reflection on the individuals throwing the hate and not each fanbase as a whole. I think you’ll find most people are pretty chill about this kind of thing. (It’s just a TV show!) But it’s difficult to focus on that because it’s not being vocalized that there are respectful shippers out there who just enjoy shipping who they ship. And for the record, I may not always agree, but I always respect other shippers and their opinions. That is all.
Yes Agreed, especially that the vast majority of fans & shippers are respectful & chilled out, but like you say the positive stuff is almost never talked about, yet attention is almost always drawn to the negative stuff being tossed around.
Hehe- I dont ‘always’ agree with my shipmates views on our own ship, so I dont have any problem respecting fans of other ships for their opinions either LOL 😉 That’s life & what makes things interesting IMO 🙂
