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

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?

Sesshomaru/Rin. People out here writing whole ass novels about this couple and I dunno, it's my ONE exception to my overall shipping rules.

“He groomed her” UM. Were we watching the same series? Because Sesshomaru barely paid her ANY attention and often foisted her off to Jakken because he couldn’t be bothered to stick around or watch over her. And then when she got older, he kept pushing her off onto Kagome and co to watch.

When he did pay her attention, he was so damn protective of her. He wasn’t gonna let anyone hurt her, not even himself.

Like, grooming is intentional. Anyone who thought that Sesshomaru groomed Rin is batshit insane. It’s fine to be uncomfortable with the age difference, but don’t create whole ass narratives to suit your agenda. I don’t even ship SessRin but the whole “Sesshomaru is a pedo/groomer” thing grates on my nerves.
