I'm full fujo trash and yet I have never understood, for the life of me, people who ship real, breathing people. Don't care if it's queer or straight, I've always hated it, and I get so mad when I see how Real Person Fanfiction (RPF) will have thousands of docs on AO3, while some of my fandoms are starved for scraps. Like I wish I had no standards and liked reality, but alas, I can't get into it.

Maybe it's just cause I'm not invested in romance outside of 2d characters but god...

I thought you were talking about human trafficking. Like "those delinquents are very inconsiderate to to their victims. They should as if they are gay". Thankfully, someone explained

"ship real life people" what does this mean "to ship people"?

[–] Zero22xx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

It means thinking they should be together in a relationship (ship comes from the word relationship, I believe). This is a thing that people do a lot in fandoms for fiction stuff. Like shipping two characters together from comics or a TV show or whatever.

And Lemmy itself does one example of shipping that is iconic:

We didn't do that, the writers of Deep Space 9 did. We just like that they did. A lot.

Oh. Shit. Now I feel like a racist.

[–] bystander@lemmy.ca 9 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

The title said "Korean", how did you get Japan?

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 2 points 3 hours ago

And whst did you think the "K" stood for??

[–] notarobot@lemm.ee 5 points 6 hours ago

I know... that is why I feel bad.

Notice how the headline implies there could be more.

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 11 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Two gay men?

Could you imagine?

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 1 points 3 hours ago

Maybe more
