I’m full fujo trash and yet I have never understood, for the life of me, people who ship real, breathing people. Don’t care if it’s queer or straight, I’ve always hated it, and I get so mad when I see how Real Person Fanfiction (RPF) will have thousands of docs on AO3, while some of my fandoms are starved for scraps. Like I wish I had no standards and liked reality, but alas, I can’t get into it.
Maybe it’s just cause I’m not invested in romance outside of 2d characters but god…

And Lemmy itself does one example of shipping that is iconic:
It’s not a ship if its real
We didn’t do that, the writers of Deep Space 9 did. We just like that they did. A lot.
Thanks for asking
