LMAO Misk, I'm not leaving the ship, I just don't think I'm steering it any more XD

@Raven: I've only been in two fandoms properly outside of FT. The first, Avatar TLA had similar issues. People just arguing all the time and threats being sent and all sorts of crap. It was nasty and I'm grateful I wasn't too involved. Like, I just don't get why people get so uptight about it. The other fandom, for AnY, doesn't have this problem (yet, and I hope it never does) however, I've noted that the fans are older and it's a small fandom. Plus, everyone pretty much ships everything and there's only really one canon-ish ship anyways, so maybe the issue isn't so much the fans but the writing? Like, I dunno, but everyone in the AnY fandom ships everything because none of the relationships in AnY come across as poorly written. By comparison, I personally think there are many ships in FT that are poorly written *glances at Gruvia* so I could see why people jump boat and hope for something different.

Alas, maybe it shall be an eternal mystery. Someone should research the psychology of this phenomenon XD
