Me when I’m in a fandom and the shipping discourse begins to overshadow any meaningful discussions about the work itself
#Yes this is about arcane but tbh it can be applied to p much any fandom#also this isn’t me saying that you CAN’T indulge in shipping in a work#in fact I think in certain cases it can even enrich your interpretations of the characters and story themes#and hell shipping will ALWAYS be prevalent in fandom whether I gaf or not and I’ve kind of just had to accept that#and I do love seeing all the content people make of their ships like yeah man. Go wild go crazy have fun!!#that’s what fandom’s for!!#I just get annoyed when it feels like it’s the ONLY thing people ever talk about or act like the characters just.#don’t exist outside of their popular ships#like not everyone has to engage with everything on a deep level I don’t wanna be pretentious and elitist#bc fandom is the last place to do that bffr#but I wanna be autistic about my fixations and sometimes it feels like all people talk about r ships and ship wars💔#is this a vent post? Yeah okay this is a chronically online vent post I’ll admit#but my point still stands I feel like while shipping is a meaningful tool it shouldn’t consume ALL the discussions around a work yk#my post#yapping#yapping in tags#fandom#fandom things#fandom discourse#fandom problems
