4A fandom loves {{Shipping}}. The media they're a fan of is comprised pretty heavily of children. As a result, [[FanPreferredCouple the most popular couple]] [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs in the show may end up being composed of two kids]]. This results in the occasionally {{squick}}y practice of {{Shipping}} two characters who are barely old enough to be in a relationship (but in fairness this isn't as {{squick}}y as [[PrecociousCrush pairing them off with adults]]).

6A Toy Ship does not automatically qualify as {{squick}} since usually people only support innocent childhood crushes or affection between the two; most writers and fanfic authors will never go beyond the point of hugging, soft kissing and declarations of love, or they will wait for the characters to be depicted as adults in canon before anything.
