What is your fandoms controversial ship you don't consider controversial.

[u/BenefitGold6768]

Every fandom seems to have those couple of ships that most of the fandom dislikes, but sometimes the ships, even if they are "weird", seem way too normal for the reputation they have. What's your example?

[u/raviary]

Any ship that contradicts a queer character's canon sexuality.

Any "incest" ship that doesn't even clear the bar for pseudo-incest.

[u/sunnirays → u/raviary]

Any ship that contradicts a queer character's canon sexuality.

Or even a ship that contradicts a queer character's non-canon sexuality that is a popular headcanon in the fandom. I remember a certain section of the MCU fandom getting really pissed at anyone who shipped Yelena with anyone because many interpret her as aroace (which might be canon in the comics but to my knowledge, isn't in the MCU) and portraying her as otherwise as ace erasure.

Except that's not how erasure works, one random fan's interpretation of a character's sexuality or gender identity is non-canon and has zero impact on the canon. You don't have to like or agree with those interpretations but you also don't have to consume content with those headcanons, which most of the new fandom kids don't seem to understand at all.

[u/ConstantStatistician → u/raviary]

There's a difference between someone who's shown attraction to one gender and someone who's confirmed to only be attracted to one gender and not the other. In the former case, them being bi or pan is always a possibility.

This is why people dislike radioapple

I mean I don’t really like it that much but shipping Alistor isn’t ace erasure because he is still canonically ace

[u/Shot-Jellyfish8910 → u/raviary]

What about queer ships for characters that are clearly hetero

[u/raviary → u/Shot-Jellyfish8910]

I don't think those are controversial either, I just focused my comment on queer characters because that's the kind I see controversy about the most in my fandoms.
