* ''WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}}'': Not quite as bad as other fandoms due to the show's natural feel-good nature, but the largest divide in the fandom is between those who ship future Bluey with her long-time best guy friend Mackenzie and those who ship her with Jean-Luc, the French-Canadian boy she knew for a few days when they were kids and reunited with as a teenager (there is also a third faction that pairs her with her neighbor Judo, but it is utterly dwarfed in size by the other two). The arguments only got more heat after "Surprise" showed [[spoiler:Bluey has a child in the future, with both sides quickly claiming based on his/her/their design that their chosen boy was clearly the father despite the child clearly having been designed in a way similar enough to both boys and Bluey's extended family that it could be either or even neither specifically to avoid this exact issue]].

* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'': On the other hand, is fairly light on shipping (presumably due to the LighterAndSofter tone and the younger characters act less like {{Child Soldier}}s), with most emphasis being on [[OfficialCouple Kanan and Hera (Kanera)]]. A few circles ship Sabezra, with its Detractors shipped [[ShipMates Ezra with Jai (Jaizra) or with Tristan (Trizra) while shipping Sabine with Ketsu (Ketbine)]]. Probably also helps that the LGBTFanbase from ''The Clone Wars'' carried over.

A few circles ship Sabezra, though the ship has always been met with backlash due to the "family" theme of the show, causing others to see Ezra and Sabine as more of adoptive siblings, though Sabezra ended up growing more popular as the show went on despite WordOfGod jossing it as a ship. Detractors of Sabezra often shipped [[ShipMates Ezra with Jai (Jaizra) or with Tristan (Trizra) while shipping Sabine with Ketsu (Ketbine)]].

** As early as the first episode, a rivalry started between Molly/Andrea fans and Molly/Libby fans. Much of the Molldrea fanbase started from Foe Yay Shipping and got even stronger as the character began having positive interactions to the point of becoming friends by Season 2, while Mollibby rode on a 'friends-to-lovers' scenario from the very start.

** Book 2 saw the growth of [[PairTheSpares Asami/Bolin]] partly as a reaction to how the shipping war had hurt both Korra and Mako's popularity within the fandom, and it quickly clashed with the canon [[{{Yandere}} Eska]]/Bolin. Mako and Korra eventually [[ShipSinking broke up]] for good, with Mako's [[NotGoodWithPeople botched handling]] of an amnesiac Korra after getting back together with Asami midway through the season obliterating Mako/Asami and only [[RonTheDeathEater worsened]] [[NeverLiveItDown his]] status as TheScrappy.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheCupheadShow'': There's some conflict between people who ship Cala Maria with Mugman and those who ship her with Brineybeard. In the original game, Briney and Cala never interacted with each other (though they were both sea-themed antagonists who sold their souls to the Devil), and the interaction between Mugman and Cala Maria were purely antagonistic. In the show, Brineybeard is madly in love with Cala Maria, who first just wants to eat him but she gradually starts to like him, whereas Mugman is frightened of her first but eventually develops a PrecociousCrush on her (so much that in a later episode, when he reads a romance book, he imagines the protagonist as himself and the love interest as Cala Maria). People who oppose the Mugman / Cala Maria ship point out that he is a child whereas she is an adult.

* The ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' fans of the [[{{Canon}} Kim/Ron]] pairing will viciously attack any fans of [[HoYay Kim/Shego]] like a piranha-feeding frenzy. Any sign of Kigo FanArt will invariably get several negative comments from a Kim/Ron supporter; the same can be said of any {{Fan Fic}}tion. And of course, Kigo shippers will invariably call the Kim/Ron pairing "mainstream" or "not gritty enough" or accuse the Kim/Ron shippers of homophobia. There was a major fight that occurred between the [[DieForOurShip Kigo and K/R shippers]] a while back. Nowadays, the topic is kept out of most forums for obvious reasons. Most enjoy both shipping sides nowadays and there are some that even enjoy [[TriangRelations mixing the ships]].
