The main fight is between Kataang (Katara/Aang) and Zutara (Zuko/Katara) (and yes, there are {{Portmanteau Couple Name}}s for all of them). Watch out for ShipMates. Overall, the series makes a very good example of the dynamics of most ship-to-ship warfare, as Katara/Aang had almost all of their interests in common and would have been the more healthy (and, arguably, slightly more realistic) relationship while Zuko/Katara had complementary personalities ("chemistry," although that could also refer to how entertaining the two characters were together on screen) largely driven by complementary psychological issues (he has mommy-abandonment issues, she has a maternal complex) and were much more entertaining together, thereby turning the whole thing into a grand debate on how relationships work and what the purpose of fictional relationships is.

* ''{{Superjail}}'': For a time on sites like deviantART, shipwars could get very vicious, ''especially'' if they involved male/female pairings vs. male/male ones (or in rarity, female/female). This would lead to some fans from either camp flinging stereotypes about the opposing one, with het shippers being called homophobes and the slash shippers being accused of [[HetIsEw "oppressing het"]]. Not as bad as Danny Phantom in the end, but still mind-boggling.

*** A vocal minority of Warden/Mistress fans have also thrown potshots at Alice and those who ship her with either the Mistress (who they believe only Warden is entitled to) or the Warden (who only the Mistress is apparently entitled to). This was spurred on by the above episode.

** While the Warden/Jared vs. Jared/Charise disputes are less frequent or as overplayed as the above, it doesn't make Charise completely immune from being subjected to this and DieForOurShip by fans who insist that she's "in the way", secretly evil, or not as significant to Jared as the Warden would be. In turn, some Jared/Charise fans even jumped ship to the other pairing after season 3, feeling it'd be less likely for Jared to actually get together with her.
** In the least frequent but most baffling example of the trope, some fans go to war over whether the Twins are incestuous or whether they're more deserving of being paired off with women (sometimes even just pairing them off as an attempt to dissuade the Twincest). Seeing as there are very few female characters in the show, it leads to [[CrackPairing pairings that would be ridiculous anyway]], such as pairing one Twin off with Alice or the Mistress.

** The fandom also is split on whether they consider the Mane 6 as {{Heterosexual Life Partners}} or possible lovers.
** There is also an escalating debate based on who the Wonderbolt, Soarin should be paired with. Soarindash (Soarin X Rainbow Dash) has one of the largest followings amongst the shipping fandom (not to mention an exceptionally high DeviantArt membership), but faces some competition from Soarinjack (Soarin X Applejack) shippers and Soarinfire (Soarin X Spitfire) shippers as well.

* Depending on the board, ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' fandom is either surprisingly civil or at least as bad as any other. The main fight is between Kataang (Katara/Aang) and Zutara (Zuko/Katara) (and yes, there are {{Portmanteau Couple Name}}s for all of them). Watch out for ShipMates.
** The series finale features ''literal'' Ship To Ship Combat, in addition to ungodly amounts of ShipTease. Given the creators' awareness of their fanbase's tendencies ''and'' the ship-tease short they put together for Comic-Con, the odds of this being unintentional are approximately zero.
** The was also the whole Mai/Zuko versus Zuko/Katara schpeel. The battle seems to have died down a bit, but there are still many fanatics who subject Katara or Mai to DieForOurShip. Mostly Mai, as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrKp9k3HHzk these]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPRFcf-TBwI&feature=related vids]] demonstrate. Good luck finding similar vids bashing Katara. The situation heated up even more when Bryke confirmed that Aang and Katara have a kid when they announced ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', with some Zutarians even insisting that Katara ''had'' to have gone to Zuko for comfort after Aang's death [[GoodAdulteryBadAdultery (if not well before)]]. The latter has some Zutarans heralding the "revival" of Zutara, or claiming Zutara to be an AnchoredShip.
** [[http://sora-ko.deviantart.com/art/Avatar-The-true-showdown-41464296 This comic]] takes the trope to its literal extreme- or perhaps [[IncrediblyLamePun its littoral extreme]]. (And [[http://rufftoon.deviantart.com/art/Shipping-Wars-1-43734136 this one]] does the same, but speaks more for those who tend not to ship).
** Zutara was taken to another extreme when Zuko [[spoiler:was revealed to have a daughter who became the next Fire Lady, but her mother was not named, causing Zutarans to go so far as to claim that Zuko's daughter was his and Katara's, even though Zuko most likely married Mai, and Katara married Aang]].
** What's worse is that the [[AnchoredShip established relationship]] of Zuko and Mai at the end of the series has been broken up in the spin-off [[Comicbook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderThePromise The Promise]]. Since Zuko does have a canon grandson he does or did have a relationship with someone. The resulting fan war could tear the very internet apart. Ironically, Katara is probably the only female that is not single by the end of the comic.
** Well there is a upcoming sequel to the comic called The Search so they may get back together in there and people probably missed the shiptease of Zuko and Suki in the Promise though.
* Speaking of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', there's already a huge brewing between [[FanPreferredCouple Korra/Mako]] fans and Asami/Mako fans. It doesn't help that many Zutara shippers [[IncrediblyLamePun Jumped Ship]] to Makorra after Zutara was definitively [[ShipSinking Sunk]].
** More recently, a war has begun brewing between Korra/Mako fans and Korra/Bolin fans as well, including arguments on which brother [[UnfortunateImplications "deserves Korra more"]] and vice versa.
** Since Mako is NotGoodWithPeople and [[HumansAreFlawed has commited quite the faux-passes in his relationship with *both* girls]], the [[LesYay Korrasami]] crowd has become ''vicious'' against him. This has caused both shippers and non-shippers to regard all of the Korra/Asami shippers as "desperate" and "pushy", if not as downright "HetIsEw supporters".
*** Ever since the finale has aired, Mako is starting to get shipping-related hate for an entirely different reason: he and Korra hook up, which is all fine and dandy...but we ''aren't'' told if he officially broke up with Asami beforehand. It's certainly feasible that they ended things offscreen, but now you have people claiming [[TetherCatPrinciple he's most likely two-timing both women]].
** Ever since the revelation that Lin and Tenzin once were in a ChildhoodFriendRomance, the Tenzin/Lin shippers have started to push for their ship and bash the shit out of Tenzin's actual wife Pema, labelling her as a slutty homewrecker without any evidence. Naturally, the Tenzin/Pema fans have retaliated...
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' was famous for ship wars during its run. Most notably, [[FanPreferredCouple Beast Boy/Raven]] shippers vs. Beast Boy/Terra shippers, [[SlapSlapKiss Beast Boy/Raven]] shippers vs. Robin/Raven shippers and [[OfficialCouple Robin/Starfire]] shippers vs. Robin/Raven shippers. All they need is a Starfire/Terra ship, and the MexicanStandoff will be complete.
** Cyborg was completely left out of this. Apparently shippers either liked him too much or hated him too much to ship him. We may never know.
*** Actually, there was a quick Cyborg/Raven vs. Cyborg/Jinx ship battle, but it didn't last long, as most accepted that he's best paired with Bumblebee.
** Parodied in the show itself; Control Freak is broadcasting a live feed of his DeathCourse to fellow geeky supervillains, and they briefly argue about whether Robin [[CrackPairing or Beast Boy]] is better for Starfire.
* Oh, be thankful that the shipping wars of ''{{Daria}}'' are over! There are ''STILL'' Daria/Trent shippers out there -- the biggest contingent, who were set to declare holy war when the WordOfGod ''{{Jossed}}'' that pairing in the third season finale by showing that reality would never support the pairing. Still, that's '''NOTHING''' compared to what happened a season later. Want to start a war in Daria fandom? Two words: ''"The Kiss."'' Daria/Tom shipping has caused heated arguments the way the Sun provides heat and light for the Earth. And the real irony is that in the end of the show, they ''broke up'' and Daria stayed single, so ''neither'' pairing is is OneTruePairing.
** Then don't forget those who still cling desperately to [[LesYay Daria/Jane]].
* Where to start with the convoluted ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'' fandom? Said fandom has three major ships, [[RomanticPlotTumor Gwen/Kevin]], [[KissingCousins Ben/Gwen]] and [[HoYay Ben/Kevin]]. During the air of the original series, the Ben/Gwen and Ben/Kevin shippers were the most common (Gwen/Kevin was still a CrackPairing)...
** ...but during ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'', all hell broke loose when Gwen/Kevin became canon. Ben/Gwen shippers still protest about [[DieForOurShip how much discontinuity problems this causes for the series]], while Gwen/Kevin shippers bask in the light of their newly canon ship and Ben/Kevin shippers stay well out of the way, enjoying the {{subtext}} the [[RelationshipWritingFumble writers seem to be handing out]].
** There seems to be attempted ShipSinking in Season 2, what with the added emphasis on Ben's Canon girlfriend Julie. The primary effect of this has been to make Ben/Gwen shippers and Ben/Kevin shippers [[EnemyMine ally against their common foe]].
* The ''CodeLyoko'' fandom features a large group of people who ship Aelita and Odd and are combated vigorously by the people who support Aelita and Jeremie, the show's OfficialCouple. But of course this is nothing when it comes to the Ulrich/Yumi/William/Sissi debates.
* As [[http://trurotaketwo.deviantart.com/art/The-Fat-Controllers-problem-110937810 this fanart]] will demonstrate, not even ''ThomasTheTankEngine'' fandom is safe from shipping wars. It does not help however that that some of the episodes have hinted towards crushes between the engines (such as Rosie trying to follow Thomas everywhere in her introductory episode, or Thomas blushing on seeing Flora in her introductory episode). BrainBleach is on offer [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/th_brain_bleach.jpg here.]]
* 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 [[InternetBackdraft obvious reasons]]. Most enjoy both shipping sides nowadays and there are some that even enjoy [[TriangRelations mixing the ships]].
* The ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' Ship-To-Ship Combat is actually about only one pairing, namely Chip/Gadget. Those who favor that pairing oppose those who do not want to see Chip and Gadget together, regardless of alternatives. This led to two flame wars on the Usenet in 1997 and at the fan forum [[http://www.theacorncafe.org Acorn Cafe]] in 1998. Further flame wars could only be prevented by the experience gained during 1998's St. Valentine's Day Massacre and by "agreeing to disagree". A third, rather small faction among them call themselves the Neutrals and dislike the wary ways of both Pro and Anti fundamentalists. Mind you that there has never been a canonical pairing in this show.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' has a lot of this, especially since ''You're Getting Old'' aired, where Kyle didn't want to be Stan's friend anymore, and was seen playing with Cartman and smiling at him at the end of the episode, implying that the whole FoeYay between Cartman and Kyle is slowly replaced with a building friendship. The rabid [[HeterosexualLifePartners Stan/Kyle]] and [[FoeYay Cartman/Kyle]] fans went crazy, especially since there was a war between the ships even before the episode.
** Then there are smaller battles in the fandom, between Cartman/Butters fans and Kenny/Butters fans, Cartman/Wendy vs. Stan/Wendy and Craig/Tweek vs. Craig/Thomas vs. Craig/Clyde.
** As of season sixteen, especially on sites like Tumblr, Stan/Kyle fangirls have begun widdling down or switching in favor of Cartman/Kyle, which in ''Cartman Finds Love'' becomes [[GossipEvolution some]][[EveryoneCanSeeIt what]] [[OfficialCouple canon]]. Yet, this only escalated the fighting even more, and fans of other pairings like K2 and Candy have also jumped on the bandwagon of standing their ground against the growing number of Kyman fans.
* ''TotalDrama'': A complicated situation, due to LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters and lots of ShipTease. The biggest one is between the original OfficialCouple, [[SlapSlapKiss Duncan/Courtney]], and the new canon, former FanPreferredCouple [[RelationshipUpgrade Duncan/Gwen]]. The fact that the latter got together [[YourCheatingHeart thanks to Duncan cheating on Courtney]] doesn't help.
** [[DefrostingIceQueen Gwen]] / [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan Trent]], also originally canon, used to be heavily involved in this fray too before being [[ShipSinking sunk]]. They still tend to side with Duncan/Courtney as a [[ShipMates Ship Mate]], though, as do [[DoggedNiceGuy Cody]] / [[JustFriends Gwen]] supporters.
** LoonyFan Sierra, Cody's StalkerWithACrush, is the perfect ''casus belli'' of Shipping Wars. Many [[HoYay Noah/Cody]] and Cody/Gwen supporters despise her, though the more forgiving ones are willing to tolerate her after season three ends with her and Cody as JustFriends (and the resulting fact that she no longer makes his life a living hell).
* Strangely, the ''HappyTreeFriends'' fandom engages in this. The wars often revolve around who Flaky will end up with. Never mind that Flaky is a character who is never romantically involved ''and'' her [[ViewerGenderConfusion gender]] is still [[SeriousBusiness quite the subject of debate]].
** And then, there's [[FanPreferredCouple Flippy/Flaky]] vs. [[HoYay Flippy/Splendid]], as well.
** And there is the well known, Flippy/Flaky vs. a part of the fandom that can't stand the couple.
* The ''InvaderZim'' fandom has little fighting, probably because the show only focuses on a few main characters and Dib/Gaz is unpopular for [[BrotherSisterIncest obvious reasons]]. The biggest ship war is actually just between those who like [[FoeYay ZADR]] and those who despise it, especially since JhonenVasquez [[WordOfGod says]] it makes him "sick to his ill-prone belly." Building on that, there is a small collection of anti-shippers who are [[NoHuggingNoKissing against pairings]] in general, but ZADR is where they direct most of their ire.
** There is actually a pretty big fight between [[FoeYay Zim/Dib]] shippers and [[SlapSlapKiss Zim/Gaz]] shippers.
** And let's not forget [[FoeYay Zim/Tak]] and Dib/Tak. Or [[LesYay Gaz/Tak]].
* A ''completely'' InvertedTrope in ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers'' where out of the four main characters, Zach is HappilyMarried and unquestionably devoted to Eliza and his children. Shane and Niko are shipped together (despite his tendency to acquire a mostly-UnwantedHarem), and [[WordOfGod Robert Mandell]] admits he was planning to marry them off. Walter manages to charm a RecurringCharacter who left Shane's UnwantedHarem when she saw that Walter [[TookALevelInBadass wasn't the useless goof she initially thought he was]].
* In ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' the biggest question is with whom Isabella should end up with. Fans usually ship her with the two principal brothers. That's because she's the only one female character of their age with a important role.
*** a joke in "Quantum Boogaloo" [[ShipTease Ship Teased]] Ferb/Isabella (Ferbella), but this pair was never developed in the series.
*** Isabella has a crush on [[ObliviousToLove Phineas]]. Because of this, Phineas/Isabella (Phinbella) simply has much more canon evidence and a significantly larger fanbase.
** That's also a rather controversial question of who Ferb should wind up with. Canonically, he has a PrecociousCrush on [[MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter Vanessa]], who at sixteen is about [[VagueAge two-to-six]] years older than him. Many fans, however, decided to pair him with [[{{Meganekko}} Gretchen]], who originally seems to be chosen simply because she was the first girl his age (other than Isabella) to [[NominalImportance have a name]]; [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight They have never interacted]], though, despite how many times the [[ScoutOut Fireside Girls]] have helped in Phineas and Ferb's projects. And of course, some fans TakeAThirdOption and just invent an OriginalCharacter, pair Ferb with somebody else in the show, or [[OneTrueThreesome have a threesome]].
** Another possible war that could break out is between the [[NotBloodSiblings Phineas/Ferb]] shippers and...well, like the ''Invader Zim'' example above, just the people who ''hate'' that pairing.
** An upcoming episode reveals that Johnny, who fans had generally written off as a [[GirlOfTheWeek Boy Of The Week]], [[OfficialCouple is now Vanessa's boyfriend.]] It won't be long now before Johnny gets subjected to [[DieForOurShip the madness]] [[FanDumb of the rabid Ferbnessa shippers.]]
** And now Vannesa broke up with Johnny...but got a thing for Monty Monogram. here we go...
** This was mostly averted between [[OfficialCouple Jeremy/Candace]] and [[LesYay Candace/Stacy]] shippers. Most of the later also support the former. And there isn't any reported sighting on any debate between the two thus far.
* ''{{Metalocalypse}}'', despite its veritable buffet of pairings and a fandom that just loves the HoYay, has thus far avoided this. Every possible pairing has its supporters, some quite staunch, but as a whole the fandom is laid back enough to live and let live, with the Skwisgaar/Toki, Toki/Nathan, and Nathan/Charles supporters sharing forums and communities in relative harmony.
* While not as extreme as some of the others mentioned on this page, there's the GreenLantern/Hawkgirl shippers vs. the Green Lantern/Vixen shippers for ''JusticeLeagueUnlimited'', even though both are canon, and there was a big reveal about [[spoiler:Warhawk being Green Lantern and Hawkgirl's son in the future]], and WordOfGod has pretty much said the Green Lantern/Hawkgirl shippers have reason to be victorious in this fight. And yet there's still friction between them.
* The "Shipping Wars" within the ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' fandom. It became (in)famously known as the "True-Fan VS Anti-Fan" wars, and ran rampant throughout sites like DeviantArt. The wars pretty much boil down to Canon (Danny/Sam) VS Fanon (Danny/Valerie) and/or Heterosexual Parings (Danny/Sam, Danny/Valerie) VS Slash (Danny/Vlad, Danny/Dash, and even Danny/Himself *Don't ask*).
** How bad was it, you ask? Well, anyone who supported "Fanon" parings was considered an "Anti-Fan" whom the "True-Fans" disregarded as "filth and pornography" (Even if artwork/fanfic of said "Fanon" pairing was completely "G" rated). Likewise, the supporters of "Canon" pairings were called "Canon Nazis" whom the "Anti-Fans" would often accuse of "not understanding artistic freedom". Not to mention that simply being friends or liking the artwork of someone on one side of the battlefield automatically made you enemies with the other. Thankfully, these days, the war seems to have died down a bit.
** Wolf O'Donnell stepped forward and created the iconic ship to end all ships. Cream Soup. Other wise known as Danny and the Fenton Thermos. The Cream Soup ship was for those who simply don't want to get so involved in shipping. Fanons are slowly starting to use this one.
* ''TheFairlyOddparents'' has its own, with the main combatants seeming to be Timmy/Tootie and Timmy/Trixie. However, Veronica/Timmy also has its own devoted fanbase (even though Veronica was only shown to like Timmy in two episodes and she expressed it in a very... interesting way. There is also a minority of Timmy/Vicky shippers, who seem to be in it mostly for the 'straight shota'.
** The Tootie/Timmy shippers won out in the end, as the Fairly Odd Movie reveals that [[spoiler: Timmy gives up his fairies for Tootie, but a loophole in the rules allows him to keep his fairies, so long as he uses them for unselfish purposes. Tootie also is allowed to learn of the fairies.]] Although the movie is not the finale of the series itself, it seems to set the events of the future in stone. Despite this word coming from the [[WordOfGod creator himself]], fans against this couple are ''still'' trying to claim it is not part of the canon series. Yeah, you heard that right, NegativeContinuity Nicktoons have non-canon and alternate timelines now.
* ''CodenameKidsNextDoor''. Say one shipping, and you'll have shippers SWARMING YOU WITH FURY. For example - 4/86 - You'll have 2/86 after you and 4/3 after you, and 2/86 will have 2/5 after them, which will have 1/5 after them, and [[OverlyLongGag will have]] 1/Lizzie AND 1/362 after them, and so on and so forth. You may want to wear [[FunWithAcronyms battle ready armor]] for this.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' fandom has had this going on for over a decade after Goliath's daughter Angela hooked up with Broadway over Brooklyn (and [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy Brooklyn himself was very graceful about his "loss"]]). While most fans understood that Broadway was the correct choice, even if not the obvious choice, there are still fans who believe she should have hooked up with Brooklyn, and it intensified after Greg Weisman came out and said that Brooklyn's attraction to her was shallow and superficial. The arrival of Brooklyn's true love, Katana, seems to have finally laid this to rest... however there are still some hold outs because "Katana is not hot." ([[http://gargwiki.net/Katana This is what Katana looks like]], by the way.)
** For a period, several years back, there were militant shippers who believed that Demona and Elisa Maza should be a couple. While some were doing it just for the fun, there was a rising faction who was dead serious about it. They even denounced Greg Weisman as a writer, and attacked him for not writing "realistic relationships." So, according to these people, Demona and Elisa were meant for each other. One is a human, and one wants to commit mass genocide upon humanity, and both despise the other.
* ''XMenEvolution'' has a few interesting ones. [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys Lancitty(Lance/Kitty)]] vs. [[PlatonicLifePartners Kurtty(Kurt/Kitty)]] is the biggest one and dates back to the start of the fandom. Some Kurtty fans like to bash [[BaseBreaker Lance]] as a violent bad boy who is all wrong for the innocent and sweet Kitty and should be with someone like Wanda or Tabitha, while DoggedNiceGuy Kurt is the one for her (Sometimes depicting him alot more violently than usual and being rather immature about it). Lancitty fans will point out that Kitty is attracted to Lance, and never showed the slightest romantic interest in Kurt. who is in a relationship with Amanda (Sometimes agressively saying 'ITS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN' and be rather immature about the matter as well). They are also quick to remind anyone they have {{canon}} behind them as the OfficialCouple since Lance and Kitty are hinted to get back together at the end.
** And, that's not even mentioning the Piotr/Kitty fans. Usually, they're spared by the other fans due to Piotr's little screentime, but due to the fact he's Kitty's comic love interest and in a few scenes at the end of the third season Kitty and him proved to work well together he's just as much up for grabs by the [[FanDumb less tollerable fans]]. Sometimes, he'll get off light with just a casual 'It didn't happen', sometimes he'll get a 'he was too old for her' (Which is funny, since his age wasn't ever stated, but he appeared to be only around Scott's age, the same as Lance), but, sometimes he'll just get treated like garbage, or OutOfCharacter Moments from the comics will be given as 'evidense' to him being wrong for Kitty.
** Another one is Scogue(Scott/Rogue) vs. Romy(Gambit/Rogue). Rogue had a crush on Scott that last for three seasons of the show; this pairing proved very popular, much more so than Scott's always inevitable hookup with Jean. But it was challenged when Rogue's longtime comic boyfriend Gambit appeared on the show. Now, every detail about Scogue is bashed (Including its name, seriously, some cite that 'Scogue or Rott sounds terrible') by the Romy fans.
*** And, lets not forget how Jott (Scott/Jean) is treated by Scogue fans. Or Jean herself, who apparently is a slutty evil AlphaBitch in the view of eabid Scogue fans who think PopularIsDumb despite how Jean was portrayed sympathetically in the show, or creepily overproject their own teenage experiences on the LoveTriangle: Rogue the Misfit is automatically good, Jean the SpoiledSweet is automatically bad, Scott is Rogue's "prize penis" for being the Cool Girl, etc.
* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' had a quick little shipping war between fans of which girl they thought was better for Finn. [[EnsembleDarkhorse Marceline]] [[OurVampiresAreDifferent the Vampire Queen]] or [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses Princess]] [[TheSmartGuy Bubblegum]]. The war was ended when [[spoiler:Marceline/Finn [[ShipSinking was sunk]] by Marceline herself]] and "Mortal Recoil" has [[spoiler: given Bubblegum an age regression, turning her 13, and making her a compatible ToyShip with Finn]].
** Finn [[spoiler:dates Princess Bubblegum in her age-regressed state]] but it doesn't last. In the episode "Too Young," PB returns to her proper age to evict a "friendly" usurper.
** In the episode "What Was Missing," Bubbline (Marceline/Bubblegum) took off big time. The episode itself seems loaded by the writers with slashy tinder.
** Finn has a new love interest in the Flame Princess. Shippers are already starting to get into combat mode, with both Finn/Bubblegum and Finn/Marceline shippers [[DieForOurShip screaming at her]] while Bubblegum/Marceline fans [[ShipMates team up]] with Finn/Flame Princess shippers so they can have their cake and eat it whole.
** Despite a little bit of shiptease and a growing number of fanarts, Finn/LSP has mostly avoiding going to war.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': There are ships that pair Rainbow Dash with Applejack, but there are others that pair her with Pinkie Pie. Fans of one ship will immediatly (upon realization) state they don't like the ''shipping'', while stating however, that the story is [X] ([X] being their humble, critical opinion on the author's writing) and so living on to their promise of "loving and tolerating the $#¡+ out of you".
** While many fans promote "love and tolerance", many still start ship wars, [=PinkieDashers=] in particular.
** If you pair Lyra or Bon Bon with anypony other than each other, you can expect to at least a few times be called either A) a troll, B) a homophobe, C) an idiot, or D) all three. Many [=LyraBon=] fans are perfectly normal, but a lot of them are so possessive of both characters that if you don't accept the shipping of them as "almost canon," you'll soon meet a lot of people who neither love or tolerate your opinion.
** Some plot points to the [[ValentinesDayEpisodes Valentines Day episode]], [[YouMeanXMas Hearts and Hooves Day]], were revealed early. It was revealed that the [[DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife Cutie Mark Crusaders]] try to hook up [[GentleGiant Big Macintosh]] and [[SchoolMarm Cheerilee]]. Big Mac and [[ShrinkingViolet Fluttershy]] is one of the most popular ships in bronydom, so naturally, the [=FlutterMac=] shippers [[DieForOurShip took exception]] - before the episode had even '''aired''' and before it was established that [[StatusQuoIsGod anything had changed in the first place]].
*** And a lot of people found the episode a CrowningMomentOfFunny because in a way it said "shipping is bad" since the plot was about making two people fall in love because you think they'll work. Cue a bunch of teasing fanart all around.
*** Speaking of which, there can also be quite a bit of friction between [=FlutterMac=] (Fluttershy/Big Mac) and [=TwiMac=] (Twilight/Big Mac) fans (though it doesn't usually reach the fevered level of some of the other ship wars).
** Let's face it, you really can't bring up a pairing without people complaining about how that pairing sucks. Notable examples include shipping [=OCs=] with canon characters, merely mentioning Trixie in a non-Twilight/Trixie story (because [[PortmanteauCoupleName Twixie]] has quite a few vocal fans), the very implication of Bic Macintosh going with anypony except Fluttershy or Cheerilee, any of the Background Six getting together with anypony other than their double (Derpy and the Doctor, Lyra and Bon Bon, and Vinyl Scratch and Octavia), and most anything involving Princess Celestia.
** Based upon recent forums, a three-way conflict seems to be underway. All three factions are fighting over whom Rainbow Dash should be shipped with. [=AppleDash=] (Applejack X Rainbow Dash) is the most popular and generally most organized faction; [=FlutterDash=] (Fluttershy X Rainbow Dash) seems to have the most zealous and passionate fans; and [=TwiDash=] (Twilight x Rainbow Dash), based on the sheer popularity on [=FimFiction.net=], is gaining momentum the fastest out of the three and is recruiting more and more casual first time shippers.
* In-universe example: Gargamel starts one of these in the Season 1 episode of ''TheSmurfs'' "Romeo and Smurfette" when he has a {{Mind Control}}led Smurfette say that she's decided to marry either Hefty or Handy. All the other smurfs take sides, and things get so violent that Papa Smurf has to divide the village with a [[ThisIsMySide This-Is-My-Side line]] to keep Team Hefty and Team Handy from killing each other. We couldn't make this stuff up.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' fandom there are many ship wars, but the main ship war being Spitfire ([=ArtemisXWally=]) and Traught ([=ArtemisXRobin=]). [=BirdFlash=] ([=WallyXRobin=]), Chalant ([=RobinXZatanna=]), and [=BabsXRobin=] often get caught in the crossfire. Some people have compromised with an OT3, Museum Heist ([=RobinXWallyXArtemis=]).
** Hey now, let's not forget Blue Pulse ([=BlueBeetleXImpulse=]).
* StarWarsTheCloneWars: [[LauncherOfAThousandShips Ahsoka]] is paired with ''every single male character on the show''. Lux/Ahsoka (Luxsoka), Captain Rex/Ahsoka (Rexsoka) and Anakin/Ahsoka (Anisoka) are the three biggest ones, but then of course [[FoeYay Boba/Ahsoka]], [[LesYay Barriss/Ahsoka]], [[FoeYay Bane/Ahsoka]] all exist and are somewhat popular.
** The show also has some very disturbing pairings being supported. Count Dooku/Ahsoka is what we're talking about here.
** Is it any wonder that all of these pairings have Ahsoka in them?
* ''{{Superjail}}'': For a time on sites like deviantART, shipwars could get very vicious, ''especially'' if they involved male/female pairings vs. male/male ones (or in rarity, female/female). This would lead to some fans from either camp flinging stereotypes about the opposing one, with het shippers being called homophobes and the slash shippers being accused of [[HetIsEw "oppressing het"]]. Not as bad as Danny Phantom in the end, but still mind-boggling.
** In the days of season 1, Warden/Mistress ("Misden"), Warden/Jared ("Jayden"), and Warden/Future Warden ("Wardencest"/"Timeshipping") went head-to-head, with Warden/Jailbot ("Warbot") also another option considered. Once Lord Stingray entered the picture in season 2, select fans of "Stingden" and Misden began arguing over which pairing would be more canon and which of Warden's nemesises was more worthy of him. This lead to both Mistress and Stingray [[DieForOurShip getting hate from the other's fans]] out of the idea that either one was in the way of their desired pairing. This seemed to die down a little after "Stingstress" [[spoiler: since the Mistress wound up sleeping with Alice.]]
* The ''AllGrownUp'' fandom was prone to this and the show's main forum was rife with it. Essentially, it was Tommy/Kimi vs. everyone else, as Tommy/Kimi broke up two of the show's other popular ships (Tommy/Lil and Phil/Kimi). Chuckie/Angelica shippers tended to be more prone toward the Tommy/Lil-Phil/Kimi side of the fence, just to stir the pot further.
** An attempt at a fan-written continuation of the series collapsed into a several-page argument between Tommy/Kimi, Phil/Kimi and no shipping at all. This was largely due to long-standing rivalry between the writers involved, but the passion of the whole thing was indeed kind of frightening.
** The series finale features ''literal'' Ship To Ship Combat, in addition to ungodly amounts of ShipTease. Given the creators' awareness of their fanbase's tendencies ''and'' the ship-tease short they put together for Comic-Con, the odds of this being unintentional are approximately zero.
** The was also the whole Mai/Zuko versus Zuko/Katara schpeel. The battle seems to have died down a bit, but there are still many fanatics who subject Katara or Mai to DieForOurShip. Mostly Mai, as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrKp9k3HHzk these]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPRFcf-TBwI&feature=related vids]] demonstrate. Good luck finding similar vids bashing Katara. The situation heated up even more when Bryke confirmed that Aang and Katara have a kid when they announced ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', with some Zutarians even insisting that Katara ''had'' to have gone to Zuko for comfort after Aang's death [[GoodAdulteryBadAdultery (if not well before)]]. The latter has some Zutarans heralding the "revival" of Zutara, or claiming Zutara to be an AnchoredShip.
** [[http://sora-ko.deviantart.com/art/Avatar-The-true-showdown-41464296 This comic]] takes the trope to its literal extreme- or perhaps [[IncrediblyLamePun its littoral extreme]]. (And [[http://rufftoon.deviantart.com/art/Shipping-Wars-1-43734136 this one]] does the same, but speaks more for those who tend not to ship).
** Zutara was taken to another extreme when Zuko [[spoiler:was revealed to have a daughter who became the next Fire Lady, but her mother was not named, causing Zutarans to go so far as to claim that Zuko's daughter was his and Katara's, even though Zuko most likely married Mai, and Katara married Aang]].
** What's worse is that the [[AnchoredShip established relationship]] of Zuko and Mai at the end of the series has been broken up in the spin-off [[Comicbook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderThePromise The Promise]]. Since Zuko does have a canon grandson he does or did have a relationship with someone. The resulting fan war could tear the very internet apart. Ironically, Katara is probably the only female that is not single by the end of the comic.
** Well there is a upcoming sequel to the comic called The Search so they may get back together in there and people probably missed the shiptease of Zuko and Suki in the Promise though.
* Speaking of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', there's already a huge brewing between [[FanPreferredCouple Korra/Mako]] fans and Asami/Mako fans. It doesn't help that many Zutara shippers [[IncrediblyLamePun Jumped Ship]] to Makorra after Zutara was definitively [[ShipSinking Sunk]].
** More recently, a war has begun brewing between Korra/Mako fans and Korra/Bolin fans as well, including arguments on which brother [[UnfortunateImplications "deserves Korra more"]] and vice versa.
** Since Mako is NotGoodWithPeople and [[HumansAreFlawed has commited quite the faux-passes in his relationship with *both* girls]], the [[LesYay Korrasami]] crowd has become ''vicious'' against him. This has caused both shippers and non-shippers to regard all of the Korra/Asami shippers as "desperate" and "pushy", if not as downright "HetIsEw supporters".
*** Ever since the finale has aired, Mako is starting to get shipping-related hate for an entirely different reason: he and Korra hook up, which is all fine and dandy...but we ''aren't'' told if he officially broke up with Asami beforehand. It's certainly feasible that they ended things offscreen, but now you have people claiming [[TetherCatPrinciple he's most likely two-timing both women]].
** Ever since the revelation that Lin and Tenzin once were in a ChildhoodFriendRomance, the Tenzin/Lin shippers have started to push for their ship and bash the shit out of Tenzin's actual wife Pema, labelling her as a slutty homewrecker without any evidence. Naturally, the Tenzin/Pema fans have retaliated...
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' was famous for ship wars during its run. Most notably, [[FanPreferredCouple Beast Boy/Raven]] shippers vs. Beast Boy/Terra shippers, [[SlapSlapKiss Beast Boy/Raven]] shippers vs. Robin/Raven shippers and [[OfficialCouple Robin/Starfire]] shippers vs. Robin/Raven shippers. All they need is a Starfire/Terra ship, and the MexicanStandoff will be complete.
** Cyborg was completely left out of this. Apparently shippers either liked him too much or hated him too much to ship him. We may never know.
*** Actually, there was a quick Cyborg/Raven vs. Cyborg/Jinx ship battle, but it didn't last long, as most accepted that he's best paired with Bumblebee.
** Parodied in the show itself; Control Freak is broadcasting a live feed of his DeathCourse to fellow geeky supervillains, and they briefly argue about whether Robin [[CrackPairing or Beast Boy]] is better for Starfire.
* Oh, be thankful that the shipping wars of ''{{Daria}}'' are over! There are ''STILL'' Daria/Trent shippers out there -- the biggest contingent, who were set to declare holy war when the WordOfGod ''{{Jossed}}'' that pairing in the third season finale by showing that reality would never support the pairing. Still, that's '''NOTHING''' compared to what happened a season later. Want to start a war in Daria fandom? Two words: ''"The Kiss."'' Daria/Tom shipping has caused heated arguments the way the Sun provides heat and light for the Earth. And the real irony is that in the end of the show, they ''broke up'' and Daria stayed single, so ''neither'' pairing is is OneTruePairing.
** Then don't forget those who still cling desperately to [[LesYay Daria/Jane]].
* Where to start with the convoluted ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'' fandom? Said fandom has three major ships, [[RomanticPlotTumor Gwen/Kevin]], [[KissingCousins Ben/Gwen]] and [[HoYay Ben/Kevin]]. During the air of the original series, the Ben/Gwen and Ben/Kevin shippers were the most common (Gwen/Kevin was still a CrackPairing)...
** ...but during ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'', all hell broke loose when Gwen/Kevin became canon. Ben/Gwen shippers still protest about [[DieForOurShip how much discontinuity problems this causes for the series]], while Gwen/Kevin shippers bask in the light of their newly canon ship and Ben/Kevin shippers stay well out of the way, enjoying the {{subtext}} the [[RelationshipWritingFumble writers seem to be handing out]].
** There seems to be attempted ShipSinking in Season 2, what with the added emphasis on Ben's Canon girlfriend Julie. The primary effect of this has been to make Ben/Gwen shippers and Ben/Kevin shippers [[EnemyMine ally against their common foe]].
* The ''CodeLyoko'' fandom features a large group of people who ship Aelita and Odd and are combated vigorously by the people who support Aelita and Jeremie, the show's OfficialCouple. But of course this is nothing when it comes to the Ulrich/Yumi/William/Sissi debates.
* As [[http://trurotaketwo.deviantart.com/art/The-Fat-Controllers-problem-110937810 this fanart]] will demonstrate, not even ''ThomasTheTankEngine'' fandom is safe from shipping wars. It does not help however that that some of the episodes have hinted towards crushes between the engines (such as Rosie trying to follow Thomas everywhere in her introductory episode, or Thomas blushing on seeing Flora in her introductory episode). BrainBleach is on offer [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/th_brain_bleach.jpg here.]]
* 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 [[InternetBackdraft obvious reasons]]. Most enjoy both shipping sides nowadays and there are some that even enjoy [[TriangRelations mixing the ships]].
* The ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' Ship-To-Ship Combat is actually about only one pairing, namely Chip/Gadget. Those who favor that pairing oppose those who do not want to see Chip and Gadget together, regardless of alternatives. This led to two flame wars on the Usenet in 1997 and at the fan forum [[http://www.theacorncafe.org Acorn Cafe]] in 1998. Further flame wars could only be prevented by the experience gained during 1998's St. Valentine's Day Massacre and by "agreeing to disagree". A third, rather small faction among them call themselves the Neutrals and dislike the wary ways of both Pro and Anti fundamentalists. Mind you that there has never been a canonical pairing in this show.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' has a lot of this, especially since ''You're Getting Old'' aired, where Kyle didn't want to be Stan's friend anymore, and was seen playing with Cartman and smiling at him at the end of the episode, implying that the whole FoeYay between Cartman and Kyle is slowly replaced with a building friendship. The rabid [[HeterosexualLifePartners Stan/Kyle]] and [[FoeYay Cartman/Kyle]] fans went crazy, especially since there was a war between the ships even before the episode.
** Then there are smaller battles in the fandom, between Cartman/Butters fans and Kenny/Butters fans, Cartman/Wendy vs. Stan/Wendy and Craig/Tweek vs. Craig/Thomas vs. Craig/Clyde.
** As of season sixteen, especially on sites like Tumblr, Stan/Kyle fangirls have begun widdling down or switching in favor of Cartman/Kyle, which in ''Cartman Finds Love'' becomes [[GossipEvolution some]][[EveryoneCanSeeIt what]] [[OfficialCouple canon]]. Yet, this only escalated the fighting even more, and fans of other pairings like K2 and Candy have also jumped on the bandwagon of standing their ground against the growing number of Kyman fans.
* ''TotalDrama'': A complicated situation, due to LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters and lots of ShipTease. The biggest one is between the original OfficialCouple, [[SlapSlapKiss Duncan/Courtney]], and the new canon, former FanPreferredCouple [[RelationshipUpgrade Duncan/Gwen]]. The fact that the latter got together [[YourCheatingHeart thanks to Duncan cheating on Courtney]] doesn't help.
** [[DefrostingIceQueen Gwen]] / [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan Trent]], also originally canon, used to be heavily involved in this fray too before being [[ShipSinking sunk]]. They still tend to side with Duncan/Courtney as a [[ShipMates Ship Mate]], though, as do [[DoggedNiceGuy Cody]] / [[JustFriends Gwen]] supporters.
** LoonyFan Sierra, Cody's StalkerWithACrush, is the perfect ''casus belli'' of Shipping Wars. Many [[HoYay Noah/Cody]] and Cody/Gwen supporters despise her, though the more forgiving ones are willing to tolerate her after season three ends with her and Cody as JustFriends (and the resulting fact that she no longer makes his life a living hell).
* Strangely, the ''HappyTreeFriends'' fandom engages in this. The wars often revolve around who Flaky will end up with. Never mind that Flaky is a character who is never romantically involved ''and'' her [[ViewerGenderConfusion gender]] is still [[SeriousBusiness quite the subject of debate]].
** And then, there's [[FanPreferredCouple Flippy/Flaky]] vs. [[HoYay Flippy/Splendid]], as well.
** And there is the well known, Flippy/Flaky vs. a part of the fandom that can't stand the couple.
* The ''InvaderZim'' fandom has little fighting, probably because the show only focuses on a few main characters and Dib/Gaz is unpopular for [[BrotherSisterIncest obvious reasons]]. The biggest ship war is actually just between those who like [[FoeYay ZADR]] and those who despise it, especially since JhonenVasquez [[WordOfGod says]] it makes him "sick to his ill-prone belly." Building on that, there is a small collection of anti-shippers who are [[NoHuggingNoKissing against pairings]] in general, but ZADR is where they direct most of their ire.
** There is actually a pretty big fight between [[FoeYay Zim/Dib]] shippers and [[SlapSlapKiss Zim/Gaz]] shippers.
** And let's not forget [[FoeYay Zim/Tak]] and Dib/Tak. Or [[LesYay Gaz/Tak]].
* A ''completely'' InvertedTrope in ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers'' where out of the four main characters, Zach is HappilyMarried and unquestionably devoted to Eliza and his children. Shane and Niko are shipped together (despite his tendency to acquire a mostly-UnwantedHarem), and [[WordOfGod Robert Mandell]] admits he was planning to marry them off. Walter manages to charm a RecurringCharacter who left Shane's UnwantedHarem when she saw that Walter [[TookALevelInBadass wasn't the useless goof she initially thought he was]].
* In ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' the biggest question is with whom Isabella should end up with. Fans usually ship her with the two principal brothers. That's because she's the only one female character of their age with a important role.
*** a joke in "Quantum Boogaloo" [[ShipTease Ship Teased]] Ferb/Isabella (Ferbella), but this pair was never developed in the series.
*** Isabella has a crush on [[ObliviousToLove Phineas]]. Because of this, Phineas/Isabella (Phinbella) simply has much more canon evidence and a significantly larger fanbase.
** That's also a rather controversial question of who Ferb should wind up with. Canonically, he has a PrecociousCrush on [[MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter Vanessa]], who at sixteen is about [[VagueAge two-to-six]] years older than him. Many fans, however, decided to pair him with [[{{Meganekko}} Gretchen]], who originally seems to be chosen simply because she was the first girl his age (other than Isabella) to [[NominalImportance have a name]]; [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight They have never interacted]], though, despite how many times the [[ScoutOut Fireside Girls]] have helped in Phineas and Ferb's projects. And of course, some fans TakeAThirdOption and just invent an OriginalCharacter, pair Ferb with somebody else in the show, or [[OneTrueThreesome have a threesome]].
** Another possible war that could break out is between the [[NotBloodSiblings Phineas/Ferb]] shippers and...well, like the ''Invader Zim'' example above, just the people who ''hate'' that pairing.
** An upcoming episode reveals that Johnny, who fans had generally written off as a [[GirlOfTheWeek Boy Of The Week]], [[OfficialCouple is now Vanessa's boyfriend.]] It won't be long now before Johnny gets subjected to [[DieForOurShip the madness]] [[FanDumb of the rabid Ferbnessa shippers.]]
** And now Vannesa broke up with Johnny...but got a thing for Monty Monogram. here we go...
** This was mostly averted between [[OfficialCouple Jeremy/Candace]] and [[LesYay Candace/Stacy]] shippers. Most of the later also support the former. And there isn't any reported sighting on any debate between the two thus far.
* ''{{Metalocalypse}}'', despite its veritable buffet of pairings and a fandom that just loves the HoYay, has thus far avoided this. Every possible pairing has its supporters, some quite staunch, but as a whole the fandom is laid back enough to live and let live, with the Skwisgaar/Toki, Toki/Nathan, and Nathan/Charles supporters sharing forums and communities in relative harmony.
* While not as extreme as some of the others mentioned on this page, there's the GreenLantern/Hawkgirl shippers vs. the Green Lantern/Vixen shippers for ''JusticeLeagueUnlimited'', even though both are canon, and there was a big reveal about [[spoiler:Warhawk being Green Lantern and Hawkgirl's son in the future]], and WordOfGod has pretty much said the Green Lantern/Hawkgirl shippers have reason to be victorious in this fight. And yet there's still friction between them.
* The "Shipping Wars" within the ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' fandom. It became (in)famously known as the "True-Fan VS Anti-Fan" wars, and ran rampant throughout sites like DeviantArt. The wars pretty much boil down to Canon (Danny/Sam) VS Fanon (Danny/Valerie) and/or Heterosexual Parings (Danny/Sam, Danny/Valerie) VS Slash (Danny/Vlad, Danny/Dash, and even Danny/Himself *Don't ask*).
** How bad was it, you ask? Well, anyone who supported "Fanon" parings was considered an "Anti-Fan" whom the "True-Fans" disregarded as "filth and pornography" (Even if artwork/fanfic of said "Fanon" pairing was completely "G" rated). Likewise, the supporters of "Canon" pairings were called "Canon Nazis" whom the "Anti-Fans" would often accuse of "not understanding artistic freedom". Not to mention that simply being friends or liking the artwork of someone on one side of the battlefield automatically made you enemies with the other. Thankfully, these days, the war seems to have died down a bit.
** Wolf O'Donnell stepped forward and created the iconic ship to end all ships. Cream Soup. Other wise known as Danny and the Fenton Thermos. The Cream Soup ship was for those who simply don't want to get so involved in shipping. Fanons are slowly starting to use this one.
* ''TheFairlyOddparents'' has its own, with the main combatants seeming to be Timmy/Tootie and Timmy/Trixie. However, Veronica/Timmy also has its own devoted fanbase (even though Veronica was only shown to like Timmy in two episodes and she expressed it in a very... interesting way. There is also a minority of Timmy/Vicky shippers, who seem to be in it mostly for the 'straight shota'.
** The Tootie/Timmy shippers won out in the end, as the Fairly Odd Movie reveals that [[spoiler: Timmy gives up his fairies for Tootie, but a loophole in the rules allows him to keep his fairies, so long as he uses them for unselfish purposes. Tootie also is allowed to learn of the fairies.]] Although the movie is not the finale of the series itself, it seems to set the events of the future in stone. Despite this word coming from the [[WordOfGod creator himself]], fans against this couple are ''still'' trying to claim it is not part of the canon series. Yeah, you heard that right, NegativeContinuity Nicktoons have non-canon and alternate timelines now.
* ''CodenameKidsNextDoor''. Say one shipping, and you'll have shippers SWARMING YOU WITH FURY. For example - 4/86 - You'll have 2/86 after you and 4/3 after you, and 2/86 will have 2/5 after them, which will have 1/5 after them, and [[OverlyLongGag will have]] 1/Lizzie AND 1/362 after them, and so on and so forth. You may want to wear [[FunWithAcronyms battle ready armor]] for this.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' fandom has had this going on for over a decade after Goliath's daughter Angela hooked up with Broadway over Brooklyn (and [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy Brooklyn himself was very graceful about his "loss"]]). While most fans understood that Broadway was the correct choice, even if not the obvious choice, there are still fans who believe she should have hooked up with Brooklyn, and it intensified after Greg Weisman came out and said that Brooklyn's attraction to her was shallow and superficial. The arrival of Brooklyn's true love, Katana, seems to have finally laid this to rest... however there are still some hold outs because "Katana is not hot." ([[http://gargwiki.net/Katana This is what Katana looks like]], by the way.)
** For a period, several years back, there were militant shippers who believed that Demona and Elisa Maza should be a couple. While some were doing it just for the fun, there was a rising faction who was dead serious about it. They even denounced Greg Weisman as a writer, and attacked him for not writing "realistic relationships." So, according to these people, Demona and Elisa were meant for each other. One is a human, and one wants to commit mass genocide upon humanity, and both despise the other.
* ''XMenEvolution'' has a few interesting ones. [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys Lancitty(Lance/Kitty)]] vs. [[PlatonicLifePartners Kurtty(Kurt/Kitty)]] is the biggest one and dates back to the start of the fandom. Some Kurtty fans like to bash [[BaseBreaker Lance]] as a violent bad boy who is all wrong for the innocent and sweet Kitty and should be with someone like Wanda or Tabitha, while DoggedNiceGuy Kurt is the one for her (Sometimes depicting him alot more violently than usual and being rather immature about it). Lancitty fans will point out that Kitty is attracted to Lance, and never showed the slightest romantic interest in Kurt. who is in a relationship with Amanda (Sometimes agressively saying 'ITS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN' and be rather immature about the matter as well). They are also quick to remind anyone they have {{canon}} behind them as the OfficialCouple since Lance and Kitty are hinted to get back together at the end.
** And, that's not even mentioning the Piotr/Kitty fans. Usually, they're spared by the other fans due to Piotr's little screentime, but due to the fact he's Kitty's comic love interest and in a few scenes at the end of the third season Kitty and him proved to work well together he's just as much up for grabs by the [[FanDumb less tollerable fans]]. Sometimes, he'll get off light with just a casual 'It didn't happen', sometimes he'll get a 'he was too old for her' (Which is funny, since his age wasn't ever stated, but he appeared to be only around Scott's age, the same as Lance), but, sometimes he'll just get treated like garbage, or OutOfCharacter Moments from the comics will be given as 'evidense' to him being wrong for Kitty.
** Another one is Scogue(Scott/Rogue) vs. Romy(Gambit/Rogue). Rogue had a crush on Scott that last for three seasons of the show; this pairing proved very popular, much more so than Scott's always inevitable hookup with Jean. But it was challenged when Rogue's longtime comic boyfriend Gambit appeared on the show. Now, every detail about Scogue is bashed (Including its name, seriously, some cite that 'Scogue or Rott sounds terrible') by the Romy fans.
*** And, lets not forget how Jott (Scott/Jean) is treated by Scogue fans. Or Jean herself, who apparently is a slutty evil AlphaBitch in the view of eabid Scogue fans who think PopularIsDumb despite how Jean was portrayed sympathetically in the show, or creepily overproject their own teenage experiences on the LoveTriangle: Rogue the Misfit is automatically good, Jean the SpoiledSweet is automatically bad, Scott is Rogue's "prize penis" for being the Cool Girl, etc.
* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' had a quick little shipping war between fans of which girl they thought was better for Finn. [[EnsembleDarkhorse Marceline]] [[OurVampiresAreDifferent the Vampire Queen]] or [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses Princess]] [[TheSmartGuy Bubblegum]]. The war was ended when [[spoiler:Marceline/Finn [[ShipSinking was sunk]] by Marceline herself]] and "Mortal Recoil" has [[spoiler: given Bubblegum an age regression, turning her 13, and making her a compatible ToyShip with Finn]].
** Finn [[spoiler:dates Princess Bubblegum in her age-regressed state]] but it doesn't last. In the episode "Too Young," PB returns to her proper age to evict a "friendly" usurper.
** In the episode "What Was Missing," Bubbline (Marceline/Bubblegum) took off big time. The episode itself seems loaded by the writers with slashy tinder.
** Finn has a new love interest in the Flame Princess. Shippers are already starting to get into combat mode, with both Finn/Bubblegum and Finn/Marceline shippers [[DieForOurShip screaming at her]] while Bubblegum/Marceline fans [[ShipMates team up]] with Finn/Flame Princess shippers so they can have their cake and eat it whole.
** Despite a little bit of shiptease and a growing number of fanarts, Finn/LSP has mostly avoiding going to war.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': There are ships that pair Rainbow Dash with Applejack, but there are others that pair her with Pinkie Pie. Fans of one ship will immediatly (upon realization) state they don't like the ''shipping'', while stating however, that the story is [X] ([X] being their humble, critical opinion on the author's writing) and so living on to their promise of "loving and tolerating the $#¡+ out of you".
** While many fans promote "love and tolerance", many still start ship wars, [=PinkieDashers=] in particular.
** If you pair Lyra or Bon Bon with anypony other than each other, you can expect to at least a few times be called either A) a troll, B) a homophobe, C) an idiot, or D) all three. Many [=LyraBon=] fans are perfectly normal, but a lot of them are so possessive of both characters that if you don't accept the shipping of them as "almost canon," you'll soon meet a lot of people who neither love or tolerate your opinion.
** Some plot points to the [[ValentinesDayEpisodes Valentines Day episode]], [[YouMeanXMas Hearts and Hooves Day]], were revealed early. It was revealed that the [[DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife Cutie Mark Crusaders]] try to hook up [[GentleGiant Big Macintosh]] and [[SchoolMarm Cheerilee]]. Big Mac and [[ShrinkingViolet Fluttershy]] is one of the most popular ships in bronydom, so naturally, the [=FlutterMac=] shippers [[DieForOurShip took exception]] - before the episode had even '''aired''' and before it was established that [[StatusQuoIsGod anything had changed in the first place]].
*** And a lot of people found the episode a CrowningMomentOfFunny because in a way it said "shipping is bad" since the plot was about making two people fall in love because you think they'll work. Cue a bunch of teasing fanart all around.
*** Speaking of which, there can also be quite a bit of friction between [=FlutterMac=] (Fluttershy/Big Mac) and [=TwiMac=] (Twilight/Big Mac) fans (though it doesn't usually reach the fevered level of some of the other ship wars).
** Let's face it, you really can't bring up a pairing without people complaining about how that pairing sucks. Notable examples include shipping [=OCs=] with canon characters, merely mentioning Trixie in a non-Twilight/Trixie story (because [[PortmanteauCoupleName Twixie]] has quite a few vocal fans), the very implication of Bic Macintosh going with anypony except Fluttershy or Cheerilee, any of the Background Six getting together with anypony other than their double (Derpy and the Doctor, Lyra and Bon Bon, and Vinyl Scratch and Octavia), and most anything involving Princess Celestia.
** Based upon recent forums, a three-way conflict seems to be underway. All three factions are fighting over whom Rainbow Dash should be shipped with. [=AppleDash=] (Applejack X Rainbow Dash) is the most popular and generally most organized faction; [=FlutterDash=] (Fluttershy X Rainbow Dash) seems to have the most zealous and passionate fans; and [=TwiDash=] (Twilight x Rainbow Dash), based on the sheer popularity on [=FimFiction.net=], is gaining momentum the fastest out of the three and is recruiting more and more casual first time shippers.
* In-universe example: Gargamel starts one of these in the Season 1 episode of ''TheSmurfs'' "Romeo and Smurfette" when he has a {{Mind Control}}led Smurfette say that she's decided to marry either Hefty or Handy. All the other smurfs take sides, and things get so violent that Papa Smurf has to divide the village with a [[ThisIsMySide This-Is-My-Side line]] to keep Team Hefty and Team Handy from killing each other. We couldn't make this stuff up.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' fandom there are many ship wars, but the main ship war being Spitfire ([=ArtemisXWally=]) and Traught ([=ArtemisXRobin=]). [=BirdFlash=] ([=WallyXRobin=]), Chalant ([=RobinXZatanna=]), and [=BabsXRobin=] often get caught in the crossfire. Some people have compromised with an OT3, Museum Heist ([=RobinXWallyXArtemis=]).
** Hey now, let's not forget Blue Pulse ([=BlueBeetleXImpulse=]).
* StarWarsTheCloneWars: [[LauncherOfAThousandShips Ahsoka]] is paired with ''every single male character on the show''. Lux/Ahsoka (Luxsoka), Captain Rex/Ahsoka (Rexsoka) and Anakin/Ahsoka (Anisoka) are the three biggest ones, but then of course [[FoeYay Boba/Ahsoka]], [[LesYay Barriss/Ahsoka]], [[FoeYay Bane/Ahsoka]] all exist and are somewhat popular.
** The show also has some very disturbing pairings being supported. Count Dooku/Ahsoka is what we're talking about here.
** Is it any wonder that all of these pairings have Ahsoka in them?
* ''{{Superjail}}'': For a time on sites like deviantART, shipwars could get very vicious, ''especially'' if they involved male/female pairings vs. male/male ones (or in rarity, female/female). This would lead to some fans from either camp flinging stereotypes about the opposing one, with het shippers being called homophobes and the slash shippers being accused of [[HetIsEw "oppressing het"]]. Not as bad as Danny Phantom in the end, but still mind-boggling.
** In the days of season 1, Warden/Mistress ("Misden"), Warden/Jared ("Jayden"), and Warden/Future Warden ("Wardencest"/"Timeshipping") went head-to-head, with Warden/Jailbot ("Warbot") also another option considered. Once Lord Stingray entered the picture in season 2, select fans of "Stingden" and Misden began arguing over which pairing would be more canon and which of Warden's nemesises was more worthy of him. This lead to both Mistress and Stingray [[DieForOurShip getting hate from the other's fans]] out of the idea that either one was in the way of their desired pairing. This seemed to die down a little after "Stingstress" [[spoiler: since the Mistress wound up sleeping with Alice.]]
* The ''AllGrownUp'' fandom was prone to this and the show's main forum was rife with it. Essentially, it was Tommy/Kimi vs. everyone else, as Tommy/Kimi broke up two of the show's other popular ships (Tommy/Lil and Phil/Kimi). Chuckie/Angelica shippers tended to be more prone toward the Tommy/Lil-Phil/Kimi side of the fence, just to stir the pot further.
** An attempt at a fan-written continuation of the series collapsed into a several-page argument between Tommy/Kimi, Phil/Kimi and no shipping at all. This was largely due to long-standing rivalry between the writers involved, but the passion of the whole thing was indeed kind of frightening.
