While I was a young child, I also found pleasure in shipping. I liked Kataang, but I was more involved in the Pokemon series pairings (Advanceshipping, Pokeshipping, etc.). That was all before I discovered the hate and rage people get into when "discussing" it.

At first, I didn't think much of shipping at the end of the first series. As the second one came along, I really didn't connect much with any of the characters, and I sort of felt like I matured out of pairing people up because I thought they looked good. And then the Shipping Wars happened. Pretty much from episode 5 on, this Wiki was a madhouse. People were arguing left and right, insulting characters for no reason, hating Mako, Asami, Korra, pretty much all for shipping-related reasons. A few users and I took up the duty of defending everything. ''Everything. ''We tried to stop and counter any and all hate, trying to restore order, but it got so bad that they disabled the comments. That's the primary reason that I dislike shipping so much and why I take it so seriously.

Now that personal matters are out of the way, I never said I completely dismissed all shipping pairs. I have no problem with people shipping, as long as they keep it to the fanons. If people come on here and then rant about how Korra should run off with Asami, then it's an issue. That's not speculation for reasons that have been debated over a couple months ago, and is pretty much talking about a crack ship, which isn't needed here, as it's non-topical to the comments section.

Sure, people can speculate here (although crack theories were also part of those crazy hate-filled months), but Tahnorra isn't speculation, nor is Bosami. Neither of them have any decent evidence to back them up, and since these comments are for the show, it would be pointless to discuss something here that is completely off-base from the show. It would fit great in any fanon, or even a "what if" blog of some sort. But I find all this groundless speculation to be more of a bother, especially since it's mostly just a couple of sentences of "this person should be with this person because I say so!" and people repeat the same thing over and ''over. I have yet to see anyone'' present a decent case for any non-canon ship as of thus far. If you prefer to giggle over which guy looks the cutest with which girl, please, feel free in any blog, fanon, or website made for shipping. This website is for information, and, since comments are open, discussion of said information.
