Legendary Shipping Meltdowns (SPOILERS)

Are we all just going to forget Sasuke kinda tried to kill the world leaders once and doesn't stay in the village for a long time because he's essentally a fugitive?

Not true. Sasuke was pardoned (due to saving the world) and is free to live wherever he wants. He's taken part in secret Kage meetings (Naruto refers to him as Konoha's other Kage) and the Kages of other villages listen to him as well.
 
I must complain Audrey and Copper relationship not happening due to Copper real life girlfriend at the time not liking the idea of those 2 having an on screen romance.

Not really?

She had a big impact in Jack's life. He loved her

Hell the final scene is pretty much his memories of her making him smile.

To love is also
to feel pain when they are gone and to never forget

The opposite side of the argument wanted Jack to fuck Johnny Bravo.

I mean...it's not even comparable lmao

I was actually reading some Tumblr posts (I was bored) and some of those posters are celebrating the death of the evil forced hetero relationship. It was...really weird.

Apparently someone from tumblr is blackmailing Studio Mir with leaked scenes by making a certain pairing canon?

it is voltron

I saw a screencap, googled "voltron blackmail" and lots of news popped out

God almighty, I get that they like their little fantasy ships but fucking hell man.

For those that don't know the character Lance is in-show a massive skirt-chaser. If it's female and good looking he's all over her (to his detriment in a few cases, see episode 6) yet somehow these fans live in some reality where he's somehow in denial...
 
Oh yeah, that blew up in the Voltron fandom tumblr. Some people are trying to say it's a troll, but I honestly doubt it.
 
Yeah, I was just catching up on the show and that thing popped up when looking for reactions and receptions lol
 
Ok I read up on it, basically someone took pics during a tour or something and uploaded those pics, but without realizing some of the characters were not yet revealed. Since its Dreamworks' property that puts Mir in hot water for not preventing the pics. And the original poster of the pics later found out that they weren't supposed to post ANY pics. The twitter screencap is just someone else who reposted the pics and made that stupid ass tweet.
 
I do believe the account threatening the studio has since been deleted, but this whole incident has had one silver lining, and it was that the fans came together to get rid of all the evidence as much as possible. Accounts hosting or reblogging the content were reported or given extreme backlash and most people agree it was an insanely dick move. People are even saying to report fan art of the character, so yeah.

In the span of one day the Voltron fanbase went through the five stages of grief. It was actually quite fascinating to witness.
 
At this point, I'd like to brag a bit by pointing out that the newest My Little Pony episode in the US gave an important side character who was regularly shipped with other characters from the very start of the series an official love interest, and as far as I can tell, there wasn't a shipping meltdown.

I wonder if we'll get another shipping fiasco

What pairing was it that drove the Voltron fan base crazy?
Click to expand...

There is no official pairings in the show (Hunk and Shay are PROBABLY as close as you can argue), it's just that Lance/Keith is extremely popular for no other reason except that they're rivals. It's the Sasuke/Naruto pairing all over again. There is zero evidence of either one being homosexual, but the shippers tend to latch onto a one-off joke where Keith said that they "had a bonding moment" in season 1.
 
I suppose I wasn't surprised by the backlash Ishida got a couple weeks back in Tokyo Ghoul. Even though the angry shippers' preferred pairing involves a dead guy.

honestly they're likely to go Keith and Allura, if only because they (slight s2 events spoiler)
gave them material this season for conflict and a chance to get closer in a cliched way.

In the original show
they were an item
. Unless (s2 end spoiler)
the pilot keith rescued is a girl who will be a romantic interest instead of the prince the enemies say to call at the end

Honestly I could see Keith and Allura but I wouldn't be disappointed if there is no official romance. The team as a whole is more interesting together than being paired off. The Voltron fanbase is pairing everyone with everyone, and it probably stems from the team dynamic and it creates a ton of petty drama.

About a week ago a chapter came out where Kaneki and Touka have sex. A bunch of people got mad and flamed the author because they shipped Kaneki with Hide, even though Kaneki has clearly been into Touka for a long time and Hide died like 125 chapters ago.

Lol, of fucking course they did. I dropped the manga, but as soon as my friend told me about that chapter, I got excited lmao, never thought that would actually happen.

It was Big Macintosh, who before this episode was typically paired by fans with Cheerilee, Marble Pie, or Fluttershy. The episode ended with him starting to date Sugar Belle, a side character from the season 5 premiere who had only made small appearances since. I've seen some minor disappointment in episode responses, but in terms of fan content, the most negative I've seen is joking art like this. Otherwise, people have jumped right aboard the new ship.

Ahh Harry and Draco scienario.

This has been a thing for way too long lol.

Fucking Inuyasha and Kouga were the originators of this or was it Ranma and Ryoga?

Then Naruto and Sasuke became the big one along with Harry and Draco.

But yeah, UST between male lead and his rival is probably one of the biggest ships for so many people. Its good for a laugh at least at the end of the manga.

What is this?! Since when does a fan have more right to a character than the creators??? And why is this guy such a grade A moron?

I want Gency more than anything but not even u would stoop to such a low level as this guy!
