What’s this community’s thoughts on shipping? I remember Reddit being quite hostile towards it, and I’m hoping it’s changed over here.
Edit: good to see you’re all reasonable people.
Shipping is essentially fan fiction. It’s fine as long as nobody takes anything too seriously.
Shipping is harmless, just keep real people out of it.
From my point of view, it depends. If it’s relating to the story and how some characters give off a certain energy or hints then I think its fine. Fan fiction is going to be a little bit too much for me
I’m neutral towards it. I read a lot of fanfic
I don’t mind what people ship but if harassment comes into play that block button is coming into play.
Also Lumine harem is otp.
No, no, it’s Childe harem.
How dare you. Blocked, reported----nah, just kidding. Can you imagine though? (Sadly, I can. Twitter was not fun.)
Out of curiosity, if you’re not joking what is your favorite Childe ship? I’ve never quite gotten into Childe as a character, so as a result I feel a lot of the fandom is so far away from me.
Bennett is #1, with Kaeya close after. (Coincidentally, those are also my #2 and #3 characters at the moment.) Diluc’s also high up there.
🤝 I don’t know what, exactly, created the Bennett ship but the art on it tends to be pretty good so I can respect that ship. It has an interesting vibe to it…
Something like a mix between “my cool upperclassman as a crush on me?! light novel” comedic vibes and “the only person who wants to adventure with me is the guy who survived the abyss!!!” more serious vibes.
I tend more fanfic with my shipping, so I’ll take your word on the art.
And I’m pretty sure that Childe/Bennett was originally created as a joke, then we got a whole bunch of people saying “hang on, that works?”
As long as everyone plays nice with each other’s preferences it’s fine. I’m not much of a shipper but some ships are kinda cute for me.
Don’t fight other people over it at least.
