Shipping and Objectivity/Subjectivity

I am a very neutral person. I often want to reach a compromise and really don't like getting into fights. I prefer civil debates but even then I would try to reach a compromise.

Shipping is subjective. Subjective dealt with personal bias and whatnot. Opinion.

That doesn't matter as much as the author's. Yes, Word of God certainly do make remarks for what is canonical but there are few perceptions like how a pairing work is completely for others and the author. Shipping is serious business and I personally feel that it should not be like that. I personally hate the shipping combat and so on about the shipping fandom of all fandoms.

Shipping are purely opinion-based. Don't feel insulted just because someone doesn't share the same views. Just go read your doujinshis and fanfiction that are to your liking. What you ship doesn't hurt what others ship.

Shipping is just a smaller part of the bigger picture, the story and the characters. Shipping doesn't even matter when it comes to that. Just because your OTP didn't get together doesn't mean you can't enjoy the rest of the damn story. I mean I was disappointed with Suki and Sokka but that didn't matter much to me because the story takes priority. When it comes to story and characterization and how the canon couple get together, one must be objective how it's executed and told overall.

There are a difference between objective and subjective. Objectively, Frozen isn't incredibly horrible. Some people can view it as such because their perception of objectivity differed. However, subjectivity like Confused Matthew would obviously confused their subjectivity (what they want) versus objectivity (what is being told).

Frozen has contrived and rushed storytelling. Code Geass has contrived events.

Masashi Kishimoto of Naruto has some issues, writing women. J.K Rowling need to improve her writing on Snape and some of the character's romances. Take into account different values of the societies living in and how it could be progressive. See through different lenses of societal values.

These are criticisms.

These on the other hand are opinions.

I prefer this character to be single. I prefer Code Geass over Frozen. I prefer anything over Frozen. I hate Frozen. I dislike Frozen. I like Frozen. Frozen's okay.

See the difference. Please take into account into what is objective and subjective that includes shipping.
