Loads And Loads Of Characters is no longer a trope


* In the ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' fandom, when you've got [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters enough characters to fill a couple of jet planes,]] [[RonTheDeathEater was it really a shock?]] Well, you've got Nepeta/Karkat fans that paint Terezi as a mutant fetishist that thinks she's entitled to Karkat's bonebulge just because he's [=CH3RRY R3D=], Tavros/Vriska fans that act as if stoned!Gamzee was just an act played up by him so he could abuse Tavros in secret, and Dirk/Kanaya fans who turn Rose's alcoholism up to insane levels so that she's pretty much [[CanonDefilement a drunk sorority girl that doesn't deserve Kanaya's love because she's such a trashy skank.]] The worst, however, comes from Eridan/Sollux/Feferi and Equius/Sollux/Aradia shippers.

* A meta-example occurs in the Eurekon arc of ''Webcomic/AndShineHeavenNow'', when Xuanwu (author of ''Webcomic/StrangeCandy'' and wrote the original plot of Eurekon) tried to convince [[WordOfGod Erin]] to kill off [[Franchise/SailorMoon Mamoru]] so Usagi could be paired with Seiya instead. Erin didn't go for it.
* ''Webcomic/BoyMeetsBoy'': Cy/Skids shippers were definitely furious at Ronnie's existence. The character appeared at the height of the Cy/Skids tension, after it was revealed that Cy did indeed have feelings for Skids. The relationship between them is never resolved and Ronnie, an anime fangirl who wears a Duo Maxwell braid and pulls the interest of both boys seems to be an intentional play on this trope.
** Ironically, in spite of the author lampshading how Cy/Skids shippers would '''not''' be happy about the revelation that the one Skids loves is Harley and not Cy by having the revelation being immediately followed by a panel showing Harley getting freaked out by the sensation [[BreakingTheFourthWall that a lot of people are glaring angrily at him from somewhere unseen]], the shippers recognized that Harley was happily together with Mikhael and would never actually hook up with Skids (and that, y'know, Harley/Mikhael is the ''main couple of the series''). They saved their wrath for Ronnie, the character who posed a genuine threat to Cy/Skids.
* ''Webcomic/CheckPlease'': Downplayed, but Bitty can get this treatment from Kent/Jack shippers. Often in their fics, Jack will never truly love him, still have feelings for Kent or simply leave and decide Bitty is not for him. Due to Bitty/Jack being an OfficialCouple as of Year 3, Jack cannot be shipped with Kent unless it's a past fic, an Alternate Universe or if they break up. Bitty/Jack shippers, on the other hand, often avert this and decide to give Kent a fitting end with someone new or having Jack forgive him.
* In the ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' fandom, when you've got [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters enough characters to fill a couple of jet planes,]] [[RonTheDeathEater was it really a shock?]] Well, you've got Nepeta/Karkat fans that paint Terezi as a mutant fetishist that thinks she's entitled to Karkat's bonebulge just because he's [=CH3RRY R3D=], Tavros/Vriska fans that act as if stoned!Gamzee was just an act played up by him so he could abuse Tavros in secret, and Dirk/Kanaya fans who turn Rose's alcoholism up to insane levels so that she's pretty much [[CanonDefilement a drunk sorority girl that doesn't deserve Kanaya's love because she's such a trashy skank.]] The worst, however, comes from Eridan/Sollux/Feferi and Equius/Sollux/Aradia shippers.
** Either Eridan is an abusive monster who is [[FantasticRacism racist to Sollux]] and begs Feferi to have sex with him daily, or Sollux bullies Eridan while lusting for Feferi, or Feferi is a homophobic bitch who demands Eridan be her boyfriend and would happily feed every lowblood alive to her mom out of classist spite. [[http://rpanons.dreamwidth.org/1244.html?thread=5959900#cmt5959900 And apparently, a certain Aradia RPer is pretty resented due to her Feferi hate.]]
** Either Equius treats Sollux like crap while demanding Aradia's love because he likes her back, or Sollux is neglectful towards Aradia, or Aradia is cold and unloving to Sollux and insults Equius constantly for no good reason.
** There's also a lot of hate towards poor Jane simply because she gets in the way of the fandom prefered Dirk/Jake ship. People were actually cheering when she was confronted about her feelings and managed to screw things up. The girl just can't seem to get a break. ''Literature/TheHomestuckEpilogues'' would later go on to [[spoiler:show that Jane and Jake getting together actually would be a horrible thing in Candy, as well as driving a nail through Dirk/Jake itself in Meat]], but Jane's hatedom predated that by years.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'', Peanut/Grape (typically referred to as "Grapenut") shippers do this to their respective current canon squeezes, Tarot and Maxwell. There's also a King/Sasha ship ("King of Hearts") that does this to Sasha's on-and-off boyfriend, Bino.
** "King of Hearts" has given way with King's relationship with Bailey. Now there's a growing tide favoring Sasha with Fox.
* Within the ''Webcomic/{{Megatokyo}}'' fandom, the Piro/Kimiko shippers tend to do this to Miho. Similarly, the Miho/Ping shippers give this treatment to Piro.
** Amusingly enough, Miho/Piro shippers tend to do this to... Piro again, who they consider an insensitive {{Jerkass}} who constantly rags on a completely innocent girl, but should get with her anyway.



%% * ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan''
* ''Webcomic/BoyMeetsBoy'' Cy/Skids shippers were definitely furious at Ronnie's existence. The character appeared at the height of the Cy/Skids tension, after it was revealed that Cy did indeed have feelings for Skids. The relationship between them is never resolved and Ronnie, an anime fangirl who wears a Duo Maxwell braid and pulls the interest of both boys seems to be an intentional play on this trope.
** Ironically, in spite of the author [[LampshadeHanging hanging a lampshade]] (see page image - there's actually an earlier strip that does a similar LampshadeHanging too!) about how Cy/Skids shippers would '''not''' be happy about the revelation that the one Skids loves is Harley and not Cy, the shippers recognized that Harley was happily together with Mikhael and would never actually hook up with Skids (and that, y'know, Harley/Mikhael is the ''main couple of the series'').

** Amusingly enough, Miho/Piro shippers tend to do this to... Piro again, who they consider an insensitive {{Jerkass}} who constantly rags on a completely innocent girl, but should get with her anyway.
* Nearly all of Davan's girlfriends suffer this at the hands of the die-hard [[Webcomic/SomethingPositive Davan/PeeJee]] shippers. This may be justified in the case of Eva (who is revealed to have cheated on Davan with no less than four people during their relationship), but is completely uncalled for in the cases of Branwen and Vanessa. Not so much in the case of Lynn, but that's probably because she barely received any characterization at all, and was explicitly only in it for the sex.
** WordOfGod says that Vanessa was supposed to be introduced after Branwen left, but this storyline was (very) delayed in order to avoid the probable hate.
** And the vitriol toward Vanessa is ''completely'' unjustified, considering that [=PeeJee=] is the biggest Davan/Vanessa ShipperOnDeck in the comic itself.

* Most [[Webcomic/QuestionableContent Marten/Faye]] shippers took the sinking of their ship rather gracefully, thought there still seem to be a few that are somewhat bitter towards Dora.
** And now that [[spoiler:Dora's out of the picture]], [[spoiler:Angus]] is probably next in the crosshairs so as to put right what once went wrong.
** "Somewhat bitter"? The forum pretty much turned into the Dora Hate Club after she hooked up with Marten, blaming her for everything that went wrong that was even vaguely connected to their relationship, and in a comic where every other character was internet-psychoanalyzed to give them a reasonable, sympathetic explanation for their actions (possibly with the exception of Sven, Dora's brother), the explanation for Dora's behavior was always analyzed as "she's a mean stupid bitch". Even ending the relationship apparently hasn't helped... apparently the lust for blood will only be sated once Dora has been KilledOffForReal.

What did that have to do with demonizing a character for a ship?


* In the ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' fandom, an artist was run off Website/{{Tumblr}} entirely because he happened to like and draw (completely tasteful) [[HoYay John/Karkat]] and large crowds of people disagreed with his choice of ship; in the leadup to the departure said artist lampshaded the hell out of this by drawing a series of pictures of "acceptable ships" as part-peace offering, part-TakeThat. In general the ''Homestuck'' fandom has previously been reasonably devoid of this trope (or at least people are generally respectful enough to not blow it out of proportion), but it's only a matter of time before things like this incident happen more often.
** [[StalkerWithACrush Poor]], [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold poor]] [[RonTheDeathEater Equius]]. A small, yet [[VocalMinority vocal]] part of the Sollux x Aradia shippers hate him with a passion. Some going as far to call him abusive just so Aradia will get together with Sollux.
** And let's not talk about how much [[HetIsEw hate]] Feferi gets from multiple ships. [[http://rpanons.dreamwidth.org/1244.html?thread=5959900#cmt5959900 Apparently, a certain Aradia RPer is pretty resented due to her Feferi hate.]]

* ''Webcomic/CheckPlease'': Downplayed, but Bitty can get this treatment from Kent/Jack shippers. Oftenly Jack will never truly love him, still have feelings for Kent or simply leave and decide Bitty is not for him. Due to [[spoiler:Bittle/Jack being an OfficialCouple as of Year 3]], Jack cannot be shipped with Kent unless it's a past fic, an Alternate Universe or if [[spoiler: they break up]]. Bitty/Jack shippers oftenly subvert it and decide to give Kent a fitting end with someone new or having Jack forgive him.

* A meta-example occurs in the Eurekon arc of ''Webcomic/AndShineHeavenNow'', when Xuanwu (author of ''StrangeCandy'' and wrote the original plot of Eurekon) tried to convince [[WordOfGod Erin]] to kill off [[Franchise/SailorMoon Mamoru]] so Usagi could be paired with Seiya instead. Erin didn't go for it.

* ''DominicDeegan'' + HoYay = InternetBackdraft.
* ''BoyMeetsBoy'' Cy/Skids shippers were definitely furious at Ronnie's existence. The character appeared at the height of the Cy/Skids tension, after it was revealed that Cy did indeed have feelings for Skids. The relationship between them is never resolved and Ronnie, an anime fangirl who wears a Duo Maxwell braid and pulls the interest of both boys seems to be an intentional play on this trope.

* Within the ''{{Megatokyo}}'' fandom, the Piro/Kimiko shippers tend to do this to Miho. Similarly, the Miho/Ping shippers give this treatment to Piro.

* Nearly all of Davan's girlfriends suffer this at the hands of the die-hard [[SomethingPositive Davan/PeeJee]] shippers. This may be justified in the case of Eva (who is revealed to have cheated on Davan with no less than four people during their relationship), but is completely uncalled for in the cases of Branwen and Vanessa. Not so much in the case of Lynn, but that's probably because she barely received any characterization at all, and was explicitly only in it for the sex.

* Most [[QuestionableContent Marten/Faye]] shippers took the sinking of their ship rather gracefully, thought there still seem to be a few that are somewhat bitter towards Dora.

This is not Die For Our Ship. It\'s more like a Fandom Berserk Button if anything. Becides, do all of those John/Rose or Jade/Rose or... Dave/Rose? (Holy crap Rose isn\'t paired with that many people often is she) get hate? Even if it does, I think this is kind of more about a character getting hate for canonically getting in the way of a pairing.


** Being vocal about your dislike or you lack-of-shipping Rosemary (Rose/Kanaya) will earn you a [[LesYay lot]] [[FanDumb of]] [[HetIsEw messages]].
