    Having been in the middle of some nasty ship wars (anime ones, of course) this is like a fairy tale, really.

    Ooooooh, nice. Doubly nice since you've got Bigby as your avatar.

  • I´ve heard of that but don´t know exactly what it is.

    I was thinking along the lines of Naruto...that shit was insane.

    I merely observed the smoking remains of the war. I didn't participate. But to give an idea of how seriously these people took their ships: the "losing" ship was so bitter after the series finale they actually made a serious attempt to assemble a group of writers, actors, and animators to reanimate the last episode so their ship would be endgame. They even tried to get one of the original voice actors on board.

    Obviously this didn't work.

    How would you describe it? Like being in the trenches, or being in the Jungles in 'Nam with rain going up to your waist?

  • Just awful.

    People were harassing Monty on Twitter for "queer-baiting", despite him being the creator of the show. They told the creator how to write his own damn show.

  • I'm at the Museum commemorating the War, and I have come to the conclusion that it was Trench Warfare.

    It started off as a small gang war, then spread through the whole city and then they took it to the countryside.

    Trenches were dug, wire was erected. Guns blazed, people died amongst spilled guts, fire and mustard gas.

  • When it gets to the point of sending hate to the creators of something then we´ve hit rock bottom.

  • I would have said "Heeeeeeey, idiots! Monty's not your bitch. Also, you seen any high school movies? The ones with the Jerk Jock and the Alpha Bitch?"

    "That's what you are, right now. Choke on it."

    (Runs away from torrent of rage.)

  • Supernatural fans do this as well.

    They send death threats to the actors to make Destiel, one of the ships of the fanbase, canon. As I said, ships can be harmless, but they can also evolve beyond that. I'd rather not see the Tales from the Borderlands fandom become that.

  • "Say. My. Name."
    "Bigby."
    "Say it, BIIIIIIIITTTTCH-"

  • Good luck, the users made your life a living hell as much as humanely possible.

    They were all kind of wimpy and hid behind anon, though. Then again, Tumblr is an awful site as a whole, so I wasn't sure what I was expecting.

    That I´ve seen. Destiel is all over. And I don´t even watch SP.

    Believe me, as part of what´s going on, 99% of this is just for fun, it´s not serious. Obviously people ship things (at least I do [sweats nervously]) but the jabs? Playful. I hope no one actually takes it seriously.

  • I ship Destiel, but...there's a thing called headcanons?

  • Oh, I know.

    Everyone here is extremely mature for the most part, so I don't see them going out of control. I can simply level with people who have these types of fears as well.

  • This is the tamest "shipping discussion" I´ve ever seen, really. Some fandoms you can´t even say "I ship ____" without thirty people wanting to chop your head off.

    No one has attempted to murder me...yet.

    [Pats.] I like you two. You can be my special Forum buddies on each side of the ship war.

  • And thus, a friendship was formed. A trio found among the darkness of war.

    Also, I don't eat pizza, so that's all you two. I'll bring some Mr. Good bars.

  • Actually, I don´t like pizza either.

    I´ll settle for some cake. Nothing beats a good cake.

  • No. Shipping is bad.

    I aim to destroy shipping.

  • You do realise that you are going to need a lot of heavy-duty missiles, right?

    Though I find some of in-series jokes about the fans and pairings kinda harsh and I think they mock them a litte too much, but this... this is just. Ugh.
