@zokoi19 You talk as if in the modern shipping community, in general, someone is interested in the real possibility of a ship becoming a canon. I could say that personally I think it is a fetishization to find ship fuel in such a pure cute interaction, but again, if you like, ship them.
@suize If they didn't already learn it before school. In places with a cold enough climate, it's a part of the physical education, the same as ice hockey, for example.
@SuperOniichan Well, considering that people shipped Jo and Laurie in Alcott's "Little Women" though they were established over and over as only friends, I'd say shipping based on a few "cute" interactions is par for the course for all shippers since time immemorial.
@sunshinelemons The search for homoerotic motives in Victorian fiction is generally a separate conversation, which can be compared with the discovery of the Necronomicon. I still remember how the author used the tide as a metaphor for switching between the present and the past worlds in "Where Marnie was there", and feminists in queer studies tried to read it as metaphors for female juice and female lead's lesbian orgasm. They did not stop even when, after the finale revealed the true meaning of the story (
In fact, Marnie is an MC's grandmother from the past.
), their reading became even more horrible and perverted.
@SuperOniichan I mean, is it so wrong to hope for it to become canon? I know the possibility of that happening is 0%, but I can hope, can't I? This is like having an unrequited love, knowing that I will be rejected, yet I can't give up on it.
And I'm not sure what to say about the "fetishization" comment of yours. Does that mean, in your opinion, the action of shipping fictional characters in general is a fetish?
@zokoi19 When, at the sight of the sweet friendship of two innocent pure girls, you fantasize about how they will kiss and cuddle, this is essentially a dictionary definition of fetishization. Fujoshi do the same when they see sexual tension in men hugging, for example. But the person with the fucking siblings on userpic and the incest joke in username is telling you this, so everything is fine, bro.
Will you go to jail because of this? Will your friends stop saying hello and talking to you? Will feminists on twitter cancel you? Your own mother will say that it would be better if she was a lesbian? If not, what's the problem? You can read it however you like, even fully knowing that it is a lie. This is your own business.
