This ''{{Disgaea}}'' fan said long ago, after seeing all the Vyers/Etna subtext in the PSP version's Etna Mode, "If Laharl dying were the only way to make this pairing happen, I'd be all for killing him off." though it was more because of what came from his what-if death than him actually being in the way. Regardless, about two years later, I laugh at myself for thinking that way.

This Troper thought something among these lines too, but she is also a Laharl/Etna shipper, so that didn't make much of a difference.the one that REALLY got her anger on her early {{Disgaea}} days was Rozalin, as she ships Adell with just about everyone else, and the awfully cliché'd BelligerentSexualTension got on her nerves.Now she just makes them have a break-up instead of killing her off.

Rebochan: I still remember a list of about 100 different reasons why Seiya Kou was better than Chiba Mamoru for Usagi, that included such enlightening reasons as "Mamoru sounds like mammary". This was circa 1998. I wrote a response to ''every single one''. I still feel guilty for getting caught up in the anti-Seiya fervor launched by the anti-Mamoru fans. The Seiya character is nowhere near the jerk the Mamoru-haters would have needed her to be for them to "win".

Happened to this troper in real life when her close male friend got himself a {{Tsundere}} girlfriend. It turned out half our school year had been shipping the two of us, and were now mortified by the sight of this new girl cuddling up to him in our Common Room. I wasn't bothered by it at all, but the girlfriend (understandably) took it rather badly and started going a bit nuts. They have since split up, prompting this troper to wonder about the psychological effects of shipping in real life, along with why the hell everyone was watching our group interaction so intently. We're not even that interesting!

This troper tends to do this. She doesn't take it very seriously anymore, but it's so much fun.

This is one of this troper's biggest fandom pet peeves ''ever''. To borderline BerserkButton extents.

Rejoice, amigo. You are not alone.

Count me in. Freakin' fangirls.

Same here!

Ugh, tell me about it. Count me in too!

It pisses me off to no end too! Join the club!

Seventh... ed. I avoid shipping in fics in general, but that doesn't mean that I don't hate the idea of characters being derailed, killed off, or worse.

Eighted...? I especially hate it when it's used on female characters to blame them for "breaking up teh yaoi" or "being Mary Sues/not ~feminist~/useless"

Ninthed (which is apparently not a word, but oh well). Even if it's a fic about a pairing I love bashing a pairing I loathe, it drives me crazy. It's a lazy plot device to create cheap, contrived conflict. It generally is coupled with taking the ship in focus and derailing them into SickeninglySweethearts. It's predictable, cliche, and overdone. Heck, I've seen people create [=OC=]s as rival love interests with no personality beyond being a manipulative jerk for someone in the main couple solely to invoke this trope.

This Troper freely admitts to doing this to Tomo of ''AzumangaDaioh'' for the sake of Yomi/Osaka.

This troper sorta feels this way towards Akise, in regards to Yukki/Yuno.

It may not be this trope exactly, but This Troper has a strong dislike towards the idea that the only person you can pair an ActionGirl with is the nearest {{Casanova}} (never mind the idea that it'll be so easy for him to switch from polygamy to monogamy, but that's a whole other issue), so any men of said archetype tend to get this treatment (Zelos, Raven, Miroku, Racer...). While it involves hating the pairing and liking another, it's not even about who the girl ends up with so much as the guy in question being dropped off a cliff or onto a bus.

This troper once felt this way about Kairi when I was in my KH craze for Sora/Riku. Of course, I've gotten over that and just decided to ship Kairi/Namine instead. Fun times for all!

Wouldn't that technically be masturbation?...

Generally, I'm not this type. I did jokingly declare that Pete of Stargate SG1 should die so that Jack and Sam could be together, but I didn't really mean it. Now, I just sit back in bewilderment when people rip up the ship blockers. I often find myself liking the poor characters; I might even ship the pairing if it didn't interfere with an OTP.

I normally don't act like this in regards to my favourite pairings unless the obstacle in question is a genuinely annoying character; on the few occasions I am like this, it is usually jokingly. Well, my OTP is Beatrice x Battler. So I look up Ep6 spoilers, and the firt thing I find is...a screenshot of [[TheScrappy Erika about to get married to Battler]]. Aaaaand cue cries of "NOOOOOOO! YOU (insert assortment of profanities/degrading insults to women here)!!!!" Fortunately, I later learned it was one-sided, done to control Battler, and that Beatrice crashes the wedding.

This Troper, while watching Castle, totally believed that Detective Demmings from Robbery was behind the murder just because he was a rival to Castle. And Castle was totally jealous because "Captain America" was bordering on MartyStu territory. This troper's guy friend was pretty much the same.

This troper used to be this way about Harry/Hermione, though I only ever bashed Ginny, not Ron. These days, I've grown disgusted with the Harry Potter fandom as a whole and am trying to avoid it as much as possible.

This Troper has this for many ships, such as Teyla when I shipped Weir/Sheppard etc, but I tried so hard to ship Ellie/Morgan on {{Chuck}}, but found that I couldn't wish DieForOurShip on Captain Awesome. He's just too awesome.

This Troper (who is too lazy to sign in properly) has a thing for OC Stand-Ins, and pairs them off on occasion. However, there is a minor controversy for me; I pair u Red Alert and Perceptor, yet this is so freaking rare compared to Red Alert x Hot Shot that I have grown a really deep hatred of it. Good thing my friends who support it don't mind me hating its guts!

This troper was a die hard Snape/Lily shipper since the 5th book and was totally vindicated by the "Prince's Tale." I used to be a DieForOurShip Kirk/Spock fan, and still am as far StarTrekTheOriginalSeries is concerned, though I also like S/U and K/[=McCoy=] for the reboot. I also realized that I have GOT to stay away from message boards ran by crazy rabid Yaoi Fangirls fighting with right-wing homophobic nutjobs or my love for my favorite new fandom will be RuinedFOREVER.

This troper used to treat Numbuh 1/Lizzie on a rather neutral light in the first seasons she appeared. However as she started to fall into {{Jerkass}} territory, he admits to have joined his first DieForOurShip in his life.

This troper and her fandom friend both ship Alex/Bea(Bamilton, Whamilton, Balex, either or) and when we found out that Alan had tuberculosis we were jumping with joy. We're rabid.

If this troper gets into a popular pairing full of this trope, she usually won't be bothered by the character in the way at first, but the fandom tends to push her into it. After a while, I learn that I don't care about the character so much, but how the opposing fandom is always smarter, more mature and logical than mine is, I'm jealous of them, and I want to make them look as stupid as possible, but I can't.

I had a rather strange conversation with a girl during lunch one day. She had just finished telling me about the fanfic she was writing, where Draco wasn't a deatheater, ''Voldemort wasn't evil,'' (Of course, Dumbledore is) and Harry is a Slytherin. (I kind of made the mistake of going "Ohh, so its a parody fic!" to which she replied with an offended "Uh, no. Its an actual fic.") We had a conversation about why she so hates Gryffindor (especially Hermione and Ron, and calling JKR stupid because she didn't see that Harry was a true Slytherin. Harry. ''The character she wrote.'') So: #QUOTE# '''Girl:''' Oh, and Ginny is ''not'' his true love! (The girl is, I think, a Draco/Harry shipper) #QUOTE# '''Me:''' Uh, why? #QUOTE# '''Girl:''' She's a slut! #QUOTE# '''Me:''' Harry dates almost as much as she did. In two years, he dated two girls, the latter of which he married. In two years, she dated three guys, the last of which she married. #QUOTE# '''Girl:'''...But she slept with a lot more! #QUOTE# '''Me:''' Ok, now you're just making stuff up. #QUOTE# '''Girl:''' ''She is a slut!''

this is also a case of rooting for the empire.

She doesn't happen to be called Tara does she? Cough, cough, my immortal, cough

I want to do a deconstruction-like story that just tears apart bad yaoi fics where the girl, who is actually a sweet girl, finds out her boyfriend is cheating on her with another man. Naturally, she's upset and the BastardBoyfriend tries to justify this by using her outburst as a justification but she verbally thrashes him for being selfish and essentially leaves him. It's probably not gonna get done, though.

I would love to see this. I can name a few fandoms that could be done.

Invered in one Fan Fic I wrote Harly and Ivy get blone to smitherines by Jokeer and find that the devil cuts the LGBT some slack.

This troper knew someone on fanfiction who insisted Sakura was not for Sasuke or Naruto because "she'z a dumb bimbo wit stupid hair, a falt chest, and is sooo stupid." Every one of her posts was about how stupid Sakura was. When someone wrote a thread bashing Yaoi, she went on there shouting that "Yur jus like Adolf Hittler, you just hate gay people, fuk u, go die in a river while being eaten by crocodiles. Sasuke and Naruto r so cute together, they even kissed! Shut da fuck up, bunch of Nazis. No, Sasuke is not evil, he is just doin whats right, the village deserves it 4 killin those awesum Uchihas!!!!!1111!!!!"

Hahahahahaha! Man, that's hilarious! Sorry, but the whole 'go die in a river while being eaten by crocodiles' part cracked me up. Damn troll! Why would you go hating on Sakura (note that this troper isn't even into ''{{Naruto}}'') to suit your yaoi fantasy ideas, attack her for no good reason, diss her for being flat and then not even be sober while doing so!

This is one of this troper's biggest peeve with the KingdomHearts fandom. Yes, he accepts gay people. Yes, he accepts your right to ship whoever you want. No, that doesn't mean he'll accept your So Bad It's Horrible RevengeFic.

this is also one of my pet peeve's I mean there could at least add a non mary sue OC or just pair Alice with anther character but nooo there have to blashed her or change her personality that and does anybody notice that half the girl take's a hit and the guy doesn't I mean what the heck?!

That really depends on my mood during the day but back then I sometimes feel like treating Shiro or Cute Pink or Racer (even though I really like Racer) in this kind of fashion for the sake of Shiro/Kuro or Gold/CutePink

This troper is a Sakura Haruno fan, and is sick and tired of people playing her off against Hinata - and that includes on here - because they're the two girls most likely to get it on with Naruto. She thinks both girls would probably be great friends if Kishi bothered to make them interact, and would like to point out that Hinata beating some sense into Sakura would never happen. Hinata's above such stupidity.

This tropette really doesn't think it's fair to hate on one character just because they get in the way of ''your'' {{OTP}}. I'd rather just ship the three of them together and call it a day.

This troper agrees wholeheartedly. Why hate on a character who's in the way of your OneTruePairing when you can just have him/her share the love interest? Plus, threesomes are kinky.

This troper has seen Ortensia get this treatment rather horribly: Some people who prefer Oswald with his first love Fanny Cottontail...

turn Ortensia into a feline version of Azula that spends most of her time scheming about ways to to get Fanny out of the picture, usually ending with her getting treated to some rather humiliating and painful punishment that she apparently deserves,

turn Fanny into an EXTREMELY attractive Sympathetic/PossessionSue that has lost the will to live without Oswald's love on some select occasions,

bring up some of the less saintly things she's done as 'Sadie' in the Lantz/Mintz cartoons to make her look bad,

accuse her of being a CanonSue just because her name was derived from either the word 'horticulture' or the Italian word 'orto' (garden),

claim that she distracts from the Mickey/Oswald brotherhood plot despite having less than a minute of screentime (yeah, this troper checked),

or, after decades and decades of happy marriage and family life, have Oswald suddenly remember all the bad stuff Ortensia did as 'Sadie', destroy every single physical memory of her, and abandon her AND the Bunny Children without a second thought to look for Fanny and re-start life with her by his side. Most of the ugliness of this war has died down since, but it's still worth a mention, as this troper now feels ashamed for supporting Oswald x Fanny as 'old canon'

In AxisPowersHetalia I've noticed the hate for Seychelles is basically "OMG she's Mary Sue™, trying to ruin England and France's tru luv!1!" Belgium is also a Mary Sue™ that only exists to split Spain and Romano up and has an ''annnoying voice!1'' Seychelles and Belgium are minor characters, but the shippers see evil Sues that only want to stop the ''hawt yaoi'' with their girlness.

This 13-year-old troper is an M.I. High fan. When Oscar began to be shipped with Avril, her personal Scrappy, she had to try extremely hard to stop herself from invoking this trope (her OTP is OscarXCarrie) because it's usually one of her Berserk Buttons. She probably would not have cared, had the following not happened: Oscar being previously Ship Teased with Carrie in a couple of episodes beforehand; the previous season's Blane and Daisy ending up paired off; and Avril suddenly being played as a perfectly normal girl, despite previously being an extreme Granola Girl Stalker With A Crush...
