Bleach is like my favorite anime and the only one I could ever watch. I made so many excuses for it especially the pacing no matter how slow it was.
I'm trying to imagine a scenario on how he thought Ichigo and Orihime could ever end up together. Like how? It's like Sasuke Sakura over again. Hell, Ichigo Rukia would have made sense because of their relationship throughout the series. I hate the ending of Bleach so much. I can't even listen to the soundtrack anymore because of how much I hated the ending, it's like HIMYM all over again. He didn't need to force some bullshit pairing ending.
The thing with Rukia though is that there was nothing that said/implied that they were more than being just friends. they had a close bond but it never gave off a romantic undertone.
I remember when I first read/watched Bleach I thought it was going to be Ichigo and Rukia with how far he went for her but it never really developed that way. The bit where Ichigo got his powers back and met Rukia again and she slapped him upside the head was my sign that the idea of any romantic relationship was dead and buried.
Orihime liked him but I figured, correctly mind you, that when the manga ended Kubo would timeskip and Ichigo would either be with Orihime or no one.
The timeskip was just a convenient excuse to not give the details.
Shipping is all fun and games until you force your beliefs onto other people and send death threats to other fans or to the creators for not appealing to your fantasies.
Exactly. The idea of liking two (or more characters) together isn't bad as long as you know and acknowledge that its your kink - especially if there's nothing canon to support it. I have no issue with these fans.
But the ones that are as above I cannot fucking stand.
The amount of hate, vitrol & toxicity within the VLD fandom regarding shipping is absolutely disgusting, which is a shame because even a platonic ship such as the brotherly bond of Keith and Shiro was attacked by the rabid subset of fans. The fact that they've even gone so far as to harass the creators & VAs is just creepy.
As for Keith and Lance, they've always been rivals but they're more or less friends- yet these diehard klance shippers are adamant that they've been hit with gay feels since the beginning of the series.
You missed the Pidge is a transsexual war on the Voltron wiki page last year but yeah the VLD fandom has been toxic since day one.
And don't get me started on the RWBY fandom...
