Someone: So wait, how do you figure the Pokeshippers were "victorious"? It's not like Ash and Misty ever got together or were proven to like each other or anything of the sort.
That Other 1 Dude: Meocross, where did you get that picture? Did you make it yourself?
Meocross: No, I got it from a comic on deviantart, chopped it, then re-sized it. Pretty nifty, eh? :)
You Have To Ask?: Picture credit, created by Sora-ko of Deviantart.
fleb: Picture credit is always good. Linky
Objection to current revision: Philip Pullman didn't invent Metatron; thus the name shouldn't be linked to His Dark Materials, lest we play into the hands of Nohamotyo. I'm lazy, though. —Document N
Grev: I note that most of these Shipping Wars are about characters who aren't out of their teens. Lord help us all if Xavier Von Erck happens upon this page.
- Most argumentative shippers are either teenagers or emotionally retarded twenty-or-older year olds who project themselves onto the characters.
Revolos55: Shipping Wars are hilarious. Of course, you're talking to a John/Aeryn Farscape shipper who liked to poke at her own side by mentioning John/Chiana. I'm looking forward to seeing if this happens with Merlin, since everyoneXeveryone is one of the default positions, as almost every single imaginable variation between the six major characters and one minor character has been fic'd already. I'll get popcorn.
Furiko Maru: Hoo, boy, am I looking forward to what'll happen when Nora gets more English-speaking fans. Kazuma/Nora rules the roost so far, but it's only a matter of time before someone decides BariNora or Rivan/Nora is the only way to go. Rivan/Kazuma might be cute, though.
Ray Ayanami: The picture on the front page makes me lawl. Also watch out Neon Genesis Evangelion fans, Rei/Shinji shipper in the house.
If the fans aren't arguing about who should be with whom, but rather about which of the canon couples is better, does the example go here or somewhere else?
Haven: I think this proves "War...war never changes" is false.
jojabar: Is it weird of me to want to see charts showing the relative popularity of various pairings within fandoms?
INUH: Why can't people just Take A Third Option?
Chuckg: I miss the hilariously long list of deities that were prayed to, complete with attributive links to their relevant trope pages, re: the discussing of Remus' or Sirius' sexuality in Harry Potter. It was funny.
Great Pikmin Fan: Cut:
- Averted to hell and back with the Total Drama Island fanbase. Every single fan has the same couple preferences (Duncan/Courtney, Trent/Gwen, Geoff/Bridgette and so on), which is one of the reasons for this troper's Hype Aversion.
For being wrong as heck. Not only does the response (That I re-editted.) josses this, but dig around in the fanbase for a bit. exibit A, exibit B, exibit C, mind screwing exibit D. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
