Should we put this trope in the Scrappy Index? I mean, this is about a character who is hated by the fandom for Shipping reasons.

Well, since no one answered me, I have already done it.

"More often, though, when Shipping comes into play, the character is hated just for existing at all. "

This just isn't true! It's misleading. Die For Our Ship is about hating a character for getting in the way of a fan's OTP. It's no more about hating them for existing than the hate that The Scrappy or The Wesley gets. In fact, definitely isn't hating them simply for existing — as the page itself says, many of the people hated under this trope are existing characters who weren't hated at all until they were paired up in a way that interfered with a fan-preferred couple. This trope is the exact opposite of hating a character simply for existing; it's hating a character for one highly-specific reason related to one part of the plot.

I agree wholeheartedly with you. In the first season of Digimon I thought that Matt was a very likable character, but the second season pairing him up with Sora made me like him a whole lot less.

Should we have the image linked to this picture instead of A:TLA, or keep it as it is?

Thank you, apparently it was in my favorites on Deviantart... I should have looked harder for it.

I don't get why some fans got to such lengths to push a fan preferred couple on other fans.

Shippers are crazy. That's really all there is to it.

Are there any instances of fans of the Official Couple committing this?
