Ugh.
I didn't know what to
write today.
I'm pretty sure this
wasn't the thing to write today.
But
ugh.
Today's Real Talk Topic
is...
Shipping.
~
Let's talk about shipping.
I know you know what it
is.
And if you don't,
that's a real cute rock
you live under.
For those of you who do
live under cute rocks,
shipping
is when you take two characters/people/objects/whatevs
and
decide that they should be involved in some sort of relationship.
More
often than not, its of the romantic type.
Now
that we have that figured out,
lets
talk about some like..
Pros
and cons
and
some general rules
of
shipping.
I'm
going to list a few things that are
OKAY
and
NOT
SO OKAY.
About
shipping.
OKAY.
Shipping
two men together.
Shipping
two women together.
Shipping
a man with a woman.
Shipping
a woman with a man.
Sharing
your ship with people who might find it interesting.
Respecting
others opinions and ships.
Politely
explaining why you ship something that someone else may not.
Writing
fan fics or creating fan art of your ship/OTP.
Respecting
a person(s) personal boundaries.
Having
fun with the fandom.
NOT
OKAY.
Telling
two men that they have to be together no matter what!!
Telling
two women that they have to be with each other no matter what!!
Telling
a man and a woman that they have to be with each other no matter
what!!
Telling
a woman and a man that they have to be together no matter what!!
Telling
your ship that they can only date each other and that if they don't
they are wrong!
Telling
other people that their opinion/ship is wrong.
Yelling
at/attacking/or bullying someone who has a different ship than you.
Making
your ship/OTP uncomfortable!!
Disregarding
a person's feelings because they're your “OTP”
Taking
things too far.
Now
that we've established that lets talk pros and cons.
Pros
Getting
to know new people who share your interests and ideas.
Discussing
theories with people who understand what you mean.
Being
surrounded by a community.
Cons
Ignorant
people.
Try
to keep these things in mind.
Realise
that not everyone is going to agree with you
and
that you're not going to agree with everyone else.
Don't
make that an issue.
Make
friends.
Be
kind.
Respect
other people.
Understand
that your OTP may not be comfortable with you shipping them
and
respect their boundaries.
This
is so so so so so so so
important.
RESPECT
PEOPLE'S BOUNDARIES!!
Okay
I
think that's as far into this topic as I'm going to go for now.
Mostly
because
I
know someone is going to get offended by this.
And
also
I
want to this be concise.
Happy
shipping everyone.
~
Well
that was fun.
Stuff
like this is fun.
For
the record,
I
love shipping.
So
don't take this as me saying to stop doing it.
I'm
fully aware that that's never going to happen.
Also
if
you'd like..
go
ahead and leave a comment with your OTP
or
something like that.
That's
it for this post.
I'll
talk to you guys...
when
I talk to you.
Okay.
Byeeee
