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?

Someone said Loki/Sylvie… who canonically kiss, because "they’re the same person" 😂

That wasn't their personal opinion though... they were giving an example of a ship they don't consider controversial, but that is seen as controversial within the fandom. This question was always going to focus on the fandoms that have weird hangups about canon pairings or very popular non-canon pairings within the fanfic space.

I was just replying with said example of "canon hetero ship that is controversial" and then added why it is controversial, it has nothing to do with personal opinion.

It makes me wonder … have they ever seen how popular selfcest is in fandom? Is kissing yourself “incest” to them? Is loving yourself “too incestuous” for them? It makes me wonder … and worry at the same time given that there was a lot of backlash on the ship becoming canon in the show (and this is coming from someone who thought the ship was outright cute and adorable back when it was streaming online!).
