Shipping culture

By Anonymous - 07/03/2022 14:00

Today, my friend accused me of lying about being gay. Why? I happen to ship some m/f couples in the works of fiction I follow. According to her, gay people are inherently opposed to anything heterosexual, and therefore it shouldn't be possible that I like those ships. The kicker? She herself is straight. FML

Don't they have Google where you live? Even I knew what it meant: "Shipping (derived from the word relationship) is the desire by followers of a fandom for two or more people, either real-life people or fictional characters (in film, literature, television series, etc.) to be in a romantic and/or sexual relationship."

Ship? What does that mean? I may be dense about slang, you are dense about what it means when she challenges your gayness.

I tried! When I searched "ship", it gave me pages about boats and FedEx Then, I tried "gay ship", and the results made me quit trying right away!

Damn, someone should inform the straight girls who ship m/m couples that they’re now trans gay men.

I guess I'm really old or not very cool, or both... because I had no idea what "shipping" was before this.

Rough, as a straight white guy I understand being gay isn't being against heterosexuality, it's just being gay. Do your one true m/f ships, fuck it.

Forgive me I must be getting older, but does shipping people mean you are writing fanfiction?
