#chubs quit rambling in the tags like a coward already

You know, I love shipping, I do, but some people’s attitude about it makes me immensely uncomfortable.

It’s not a competition, a canon status doesn’t give anyone an asshole pass and neither does preferring a wlw or mlm ship. No ship is superior to another and liking or disliking them is not a matter of being right or wrong but merely a matter of taste and preference. We’re all just a bunch of nerdy humans that enjoy consuming and producing content of our faves falling in love and being loved and think that we should treat each other with at least basic respect.

Some of you people out there I think need to catch some fresh air and reconnect with nature a little.

#in other words some of y'all scare me a bit bc I've had major ship discourse bite my ass and have people try and cancel me back in 2015 #and I'm seeing a very similar kind of dynamic to that one back then bubbling up #and just now someone reblogged my zutara art with rather passive aggressive tags #and I'd really rather not have any of that again #bc guys we are talking about the fucking romantic potential of people that don't even exist here #all you're accomplishing is making an ass of yourself and drag the reputation of your side of the fandom too #alas while I personally am not a fan of zukka I can perfectly respect the ship as a concept since there's honestly nothing wrong with it #however some of its shippers have really made me feel incredibly uncomfortable about the fandom as a whole #like it's gotten to the point where it makes me uncomfortable to post drawings of just zuko or sokka alone out of fear that #some of the toxic shippers will follow me and see that I ship zutara and then send me hate or something #please let us just respect each other's opinions and coexist in peace we don't have to agree to get along #chubs quit rambling in the tags like a coward already #chubs rambles
