general media Why are there so many crazy shippers (people who pair characters together)?

I've always wondered to myself why there are a lot of gay ships. Not that those are bad, I am just curious as to why.

That's tumblr-tards leaking. There's a faction of tumblrinas who just can't wait to tell you about how gay they are and how gay they're day was and how gay this and that and the other. Usually, you see the most insane ships from them.

A lot of people find homosexual relationships to be extremely hot for some reason.

Perhaps they feel misrepresented. I myself as a member of the LGBTQ+ find that there aren't many gay couples in just "normal" television.

 

As for the main topic of this thread I don't see it being a problem. One person had a bad experience. I'm sure more have, but we haven't seen anything from the writers, creators, etc themselves to prove that there are "so many crazy shippers." If the creators of these characters aren't finding this to be a problem, then I would say it's not really a major problem. Yes those who seek to harm anyone for any reason should seek professional help, but our first call should not be to just lock them up because they make the rest of us look bad. I'm a shipper and I know plenty of shippers through other fandoms. We aren't exactly quiet about who we ship with who and who our OTPs are, but the majority of us aren't becoming extremists.

As long as you remain respectful of the part of the homosexual community who don't shove their pairings down your throats. Because not all us homosexuals act like that

Hence why I stated, quite clearly, that is was a very dedicated, and very loud, faction of tumblrinas who do that. I know it's not everyone, just a small, but excessively vocal, subset.

Although I have ships but I dont go crazy and send hate and death threads. I think some take their shipping personal.

 Shipper gonna ship and hater gonna hate. Because, either way it's not  like the creator/writers would pay attention to them, so I don't understand why some would go that far. It's ridiculous.
