I'm a multishipper, I'll ship just about anything (with a few exceptions) and I have some very odd rarepairs. Honestly, I love all ships so long as people don't go out of their way to make someone else an abuser just to make their ship "better". There are some ships I tend to avoid (but still enjoy) only because the fandom has ruined them for me. Particularly Tuckington. It's a wonderful ship but people were so forceful about it and kept yelling "its canon and if you think otherwise you're wrong" and put out lots of hate to other ships involving either character and I got really tired of it being shoved in my face so often. There's nothing wrong with the ship I just normally ignore it or just don't go out of my way to RP it or read about it because it's been ruined for me. Don't get me wrong, Tuckington is not the only ship that does this but it's a primary example for me because I had to experience all that when it was happening and at its peak. Lolix shippers do it too sometimes and it's just really trashy and not in a good way. It's a gross thing to do, don't scream about your ship being canon then send hate and throw a fit when they disagree or ship something different.
One last complaint.
People who erase CT's relationship with the Insurrectionist leader just for the sake of making her Lesbian really upset me. It's made fairly obvious that they had a romantic relationship of some sort based not only on their closeness seen in the show but also the song that plays when CT dies. In "Forever" the lines "To stay with you, my only dream" and "My love for you could not help you stay" are pretty heavy implications of a romantic relationship (yes I know platonic love exists but it's not often shown in media) and the wiki even states "The former lover of the Insurrectionist Leader" So like ??? don't erase that? Characters can be bisexual, it's a real thing!
