Another mini-rant about something that bothers me. That are those rabid shippers who just can not leave people alone who ship a different pairing than them. I am trying to differentiate between what is bashing and respectful disagreeing.
( On the subject of turning gay characters straight for fanfic/rp purposes )
( Onto bashing pairings and respectfully disagreeing with someone )
So in short: Let people have their shipping fun. Don't judge them because the characters in canon said that this pairing is not possible. Don't object to people writing a character with a different sexual preference. Don't expect people to like your pairing - don't let others tell you what pairings you are allowed to like.
If you have issues with the writing itself, the way the pairing is written that is a different matter - but never go to someone and order them to stop, shame or bully them for liking a certain pairing.
That is not a hard concept, is it?
