Added DiffLines:

* The shipping wars over ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' are pretty brutal.
** Decades after release, ''both'' [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Tifa]] and [[ILetGwenStacyDie Aerith]] are still prone to being demonized and/or killed by shippers who favor a different pairing. In Aerith's case she's irreversibly dead by the end of the game anyway, per WordOfGod.
** Lucrecia, who is [[EnsembleDarkhorse Vincent's]] canon-designated love interest, is often the victim of this by fans of other pairings involving Vincent (most notably [[MayDecemberRomance Yuffentine]] and Valenwind) since it is quite obvious that, even though they have been separated for decades, he will never be involved in another relationship unless they get her out of the picture somehow. This is rather literal when fans actually try to write her off as being dead despite [[WordOfGod Word of God]] statements that she IS still alive (and thanks to Jenova Cell, CANNOT die), and also less literal in that fans will villanize her just for the sake of justifying Vincent "moving on." What makes this whole situation even worse, though, is that ''Dirge of Cerberus'' - as one of its many {{Retcon}}s - portrays Lucrecia as being ''far'' less morally ambiguous than she was in the original game, which leads to the suspicions that [[TrollingCreator the designers are just deliberately messing with the fandom]].
