It doesn't matter if you "don't actually mean it" or are "just kidding around", that doesn't change what you're doing.
Doing it "as a joke" is no better than doing it seriously. It's absolutely unacceptable either way. reply
okay let me just say whoever the fuck ships real people unironically, including celebrities, K-POP idols, etc, you're sick. these people have lives too, how comfortable would you be, if people were writing fanfiction about you, shipping you with your friends, etc. and dude i've checked out the BTS tag on Ao3, there is some absolute filth being writ...... 4 reply
yeah definitely don’t ship real people. cus it might cause the people being shipped to stop being friends because of the awkwardness. it’s weird and makes everyone involved uncomfy. reply
theres an insta account where someone ships people from my school and i don't think they ask permisson and its really gross if I was ever on there I would sue them or something.... reply
Nah, I don't enjoy teasing people because you have no idea what their boundaries/sense of humour is like. It's more likely to be weird/uncomfy than funny and I certainly don't like it as a joke myself. reply
I just realized this recently, I thought I'm shipping people but it turns out that I'm just super happy about their friendship, like wow, how can a friendship be so beautiful aaaahh. I look like a creep, right? Maybe, I'm just craving happiness for the people I look up to. I want all the love and happiness be always with them aaaahh reply
