I will never get them, I swear. Everybody has their love-to-hate-you ships and pet peeves (I know *I* have a lot of pet peeves!), but you can just choose to ignore them, click on the lovely red "x" and go read something else you actually like. And, heck, who says something you don't like ALWAYS has to suck? Even I have read a couple of Snarry fics I honestly liked - and coming from ME, it's quite a big deal... But no, they MUST be assholes to everyone and pick on people for stuff they can't even help (I ship lots of stuff for very flimsy reasons, they just randomly pop into my mind and stay there) and act like it's the Apocalypse plus Ragnarok with a sprinkle of Cybermen 'n' Daleks invasions - which could be a lovely GO/DW/Norse Myths crossover now that I think about it, but that's not the point. The point is dolphins, of course. Oh, and people being assholes. Shipwars are bad enough as it is, but another thing I hate is when they try to be oh-so-subtle about it ... "Oh, I don't have anything against slash ... but why do you ship it? Let me tell you my forty-one theories about why you're so obviously messed up!". And then when you answer, it's always "no I still don't get it, your answers are not good enough and you're stupid". And when you don't answer, it's always "why are you attacking me, you crazy bitch? I just wanted to undestand and to show how tollerant I am!". Seriously, I don't like watersports and tentacle sex but I don't go around pestering people who love them with stupid questions that often can't even have true answers. The only thing people really need to undestand is that sometimes people *like* things, even if they don't have a real proper reason - and that that's perfectly okay.
