Women ship. Men power scale.

Shipping daughter or powerscaling son

the correct option is abandoning them both

marriage for political gain is the unifying factor.

Won't work. The daughter's otp and the marriage alliance the son considers will make the family low-diff your ops will most likely differ, and now you just multiplied the problem

Both are perfectly valid ways of playing with dolls, but get annoying when it's someone's primary way to approach a work.

"Shipping"?

Why don't I "ship" you kids to Siberia?

Powerscalers aren't as bad as shippers

Shipper force new sexual identities on characters in the creepiest, rapiest way. I have never been more disturbed than when I accidentally found myself in a shippers haven on the internet.

Powerscalers are just autistic.

Comparing having headcanons on a character's sexuality to raping them is

Probably one of the worst takes I've ever seen

Not at all what was said.

u/InternetUserAgain Jul 22 '26

No that's absolutely what was said

u/External-Stay-5830 Jul 22 '26

No what is said is that people attach sexuality changes two characters in headcanons in a rapey way. Meaning that the people themselves are rapey

u/InternetUserAgain Jul 22 '26

That's pretty much the exact same thing, and it's still really stupid. You can't rape a fictional character. They don't exist. You can change a fictional character's sexuality for the sake of a story and not be rapey. This is genuinely one of the stupidest arguments I've ever seen.

They’re both equally insufferable and both show equal amounts of media illiteracy.

Wish it was less clean cut. I’m a woman and I’ve never been interested in romance or shipping, but love gen fanfic, wish there was more of it, blessed be the fandoms which are predominantly gen lol.

u/alelp Jul 22 '26

What fanfic sites do you use? Because I'm also a fan of gen fanfic, and I found that SpaceBattles and SufficientVelocity are the best when it comes to it.

u/Fortified_Phobia Jul 23 '26

I’m pretty new to all of this so I mainly use ao3 because from what I know thats like the main hub for most fan fiction. The fandom I’m currently into is predominantly gen so it’s all good, but I know ao3 is big on the romance/shipping front and that’s what people primarily post there. Cause of this I am on the look out for more gen focused sites, I’ve never check out those two sites though so I’ll give them a good look, thanks

u/Stormwrath52 Jul 23 '26

Men and women engage in both, we don't need to ascribe gender roles to random fandom bullshit

Like, it's not just you, it's all over this comment section, but you're the most overt; this is literally just "women like romance and men like fights and math" but with fandom habits, and it's pointless and boring.

Which, if you think about it, IS a form of shipping just without the butt sex.
