From YKTTW Working Title: Shipping Goggles


There has to be some sort of opposite trope, where no matter HOW powerful the evidence, you insist that a couple isn't a couple. It might be because you have laser-focused shipping goggles for a particular ship. It might be because the relationship is slash/yaoi/yuri, and you're in denial that they're anything other than "just really good friends!" What would that trope be, and can we link to it from here?

  • Hmm...Anti Goggles? I dunno.
    • I'm the same person that put the Rin/Sess example on the main page. The same people continuously ignore obvious signs that Sesshomaru and Kagura are love interests (such as him breaking Tokijin knowing that without it, he'd probably die just because Moryoumaru insulted Kagura, Tenseiga itself giving confirmation that in all the years he's had that sword, no one had ever moved him the way Kagura did and only now was Sesshomaru ready to use it as a fighting sword, Sesshomaru making it his own personal mission to avenge Kagura, and Rin specifically saying "IN love" and making clear this is a romantic thing, not platonic) and insist it's one-sided despite all evidence. If that doesn't qualify as what you're talking about, I don't know what does.
  • In X-Files fandom, back in the day, the anti-Mulder/Scully shippers were called "No Ro Mos" — no romance, in other words. Could we revive that term, maybe? I've seen it around — there's a lot of old-skool Dr Who fans who stick their fingers in their ears and go "lalalala I can't hear you" if you bring up any evidence that the Doctor is not asexual.
