Inspired by a real life encounter where a girl who was with us at a guest dinner began FUMING when a girl, who shipped her “most hated ship", nearly sat at her table.

If she sees this: That was obnoxious. We already have way too many goddamn things that divide us. Let it go.

Yes.  Just.  This.  Please.  Also, if someone pairs your favorite character with someone you don’t agree with, let that go too.  Please don’t badger them with “evidence” from the series, to try and make your ship more canon than their ship.  People will ship what they want, whether it’s canon or not, or whether you don’t like the ship or not.  That’s no reason to be rude to a person, because seriously, if you base your opinion of a person you don’t know on how they pair fictional characters, then as this post says, you need to reconsider your priorities.  Don’t glare at them, or say rude things, or attack them in any way, whether it’s with shipping, or a person liking a character you don’t, or liking a series that you don’t, just… stop.  

For example, I’m not into Homestuck, but I’ve heard horrible stories of people actually walking up to cosplayers and breaking the horns they wear.  Or people bashing and physically attacking furies, or people who cosplay villain characters who are attacked by people who hate that character.  Just… no.  The thing that makes fandom so great is that there’s plenty of room for all of us.  If you don’t like a pairing or character or series then there are a million other things out there for you.  Stop bashing people and hurting people over something so trivial.
