Eww CaptainSwan shippers

[em28]

I posted the interview with it. I wanted to be thorough when I gave you all the information and the facts. But you seem to hate CS so much, and you have offended me in your other comment, so I might have wasted my time.

There wasn’t an audio last night when I looked at it – or it’s not showing up for me. Whatever at this point 🙄 I don’t even know what comment offended you..there is enough false information being thrown about I don’t think it’s a shocker that I wouldn’t believe what I saw last night: a transcript with no links or audio.

Because the Jane Espenson interview on the Captain Swan page infuriates me – but I tried to be polite when asking for a link or to know where it was coming from. I’m infuriated because the interview seems to be faked and yet presented as complete fact:

You mean the transcript that’s been posted in the CaptainSwan thread? That’s a legit interview, there’s a link to the audio of it in the post, where you can hear Jane say what’s in the transcript. As someone who doesn’t really ship CaptainSwan, (though I do enjoy their flirtations), I took it as her just saying that there will indeed be more interaction between the characters. Obviously, shippers will read more into it. But either way, she definitely suggested to the shipper she was talking to that they’d like some stuff that was to come.

Yeah…I listened to that interview(if it’s the one I’m thinking) and I think people do read more into it than what is there…she kind of went overboard with all the shippers in trying to convince them not to give up hope on their ships…CaptainSwan, Swanthief, and Rumbelle…I mean we know that not all the ships can work out but no one involved with the show wants viewers to stop watching so they’re not going to say forget about your ship. Not saying any shippers should give up on their ship (i’m not giving up on mine) but you got to take these guys interviews with a grain of salt. She also said she was for crossovers like SGU’s Rush and OUaT’s Rumple…and at that part I just rolled my eyes….cause I think she did go overboard trying not to offend anyone.

If you offend someone, even if you don’t mean to, you aplogise. That’s the polite thing to do. The respectful thing to do. All you’re giving me is attitude. Next time you get your own dam information.

I was wondering what the rumple… ehm, rumble was about, but good heavens…

Dearies, dearies, calm down. It’s a television series, it is fictional, a fairy tale! No need to get your knickers in a twist. I think this thread was started jokingly, a bit of fun, so try not to go overboard and take the remarks with a grain of (sea) salt. No need to offend anyone or be offended fo that matter. Else I am sending Hook after you, and he’ll make you walk the plank, do you hear me?
It looks like Hook is here to stay, seeing he is attending attending Paley fest, so all you gals hooked on Hook can breath easy. He’s not my type, too polished for a pirate, gimme captain Blood (Errol Flynn) or captain Jack Sparrow any day. Plus Hook hurt my Rumpel! Now I haven’t actually seen him act yet, so I’ll reserve my judgement about his acting until then.
Colin can be happy he has such loyal fans, but please, a little perspective. Not everybody will adore him. Same goes for the Hook-haters, respect that somebody else might be gaga over him. Give and take. This is suposed to be fun, the series is and the forum is. Not a place to attack eachother about personal taste. You can joke, but never let it turn nasty, and no personal attacks.

I just don’t see any redeeming qualities in Hook. Yes, he’s easy on the eyes and charming but he doesn’t have any remorse for any of his wrong doings. That is what sets him apart from Gold/Rumple. He at least regrets letting Bae go and has been trying to rectify that situation. We’ve seen that Rumple started as a good man…flawed but essentially good….redemption is possible. We haven’t been shown anything (yet, I know we could see it and I could change my mind later) that shows that Hook can be redeemed. Plus, he would be a horrible step dad.

Hmmm- you forget all the people Rumple killed in cold blood because he could- the guy Bae bumped into playing ball- turned into a snail & squished, the ‘house keeper’ stabbed to death because of what she may have over heard, his own wife! The list I’m sure goes on- Rumple, as far as we have seen or he has demonstrated, doesn’t regret those killings in the slightest (he’d gladly have added Moe & the Charmings- including Henry/ a child! to the list if he felt like it)- they were a means to get what he wanted plain & simple- the same with Hook.
The same holds true of Regina as well.

I think we will see Hook get his chance at redemption- at least I hope we do, as he is the one character who pulled me back into Once- I had become sick of all the bouncing around between the filler characters (& yes I know Hook was one of the fillers, but he is a regular now, so more like Belle, Red & Grumpy) 😉 .

Sorry if this has been stated by someone else- I haven’t read through the whole thread yet 😳

I’d actually love for Colin to leave the show – Hook isn’t developing. And to top it all off, so much (Not all!) of his fan base cut and paste the entire show to center around him….:

You know it’s comments like that, which really get the pot stirred on the board, right? There’s been a lot of complaint about hatred and trolling toward Captain Swan shippers (not that there hasn’t been trolling elsewhere, but trolling in general is what is getting really old).

I am really trying to understand where you are coming from with your particular perspective… :/ What sort of opposing opinion merits being called hatred or trolling? The thread title can be seen as trolling because it is directed the people themselves… but can you explain it to me so that I can hopefully understand…

People’s views of Onciverse Hook can be quite polarising. You either think he’s completely shallow, or incredibly deep. I’m the latter, but can see how others could take him at face value and be turned off. It’s not really that different of a situation to Rumple. People either think he’s the ultimate evil, or the ultimate candidate for redemption.

For me what is really getting to me is that I have no problem with posters like yourself because you come across as extremely level-headed and approach characters, and situations within the show that are incredibly thought-provoking and deep. It’s just that there a handful of posters that have been making it difficult to be overly excited for Hook (still doesn’t ruin my love of a pirate). However I do try to look at the character from the perspective of the plot and what facts we are given and try not to let it get to me. (Honestly I have been trying to be as tactful as possible and I know that part of understanding the dynamics is willing to understand the different perspectives that causes people to reach different conclusions–though not well at times I admit).

Oh and that ends the compliments for the night xD

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.

That I agree with. 😀 I definitely think it depends on how it is presented but I wholly agree with your sentiment regarding some of the threads. I really did dislike the hullabaloo about his being sick only because that had the intent of riling anyone (especially since serious illness is always sad). Those kind of threads bring a lot of negativity to any person reading it.
