Examples being: shipping, fanfics, and even r34. I personally don’t see what wrong with shipping. Sure it can be turned into something sexual, but if it’s innocent who cares? Yes, it can be weird sometimes but it’s no reason to freak out over. Plus sometimes it’s can be down right cute. Sometimes. And what’s wrong with fanfics? They’re just stories written centered around and inspired by the show. Even Lauren Faust said she has no problem with them and said if they were popular when she was younger she would have been an avid fanfic writer. It’s fine if you’re not into them but, again, it’s nothing to demonize and bash. And yeah I STRONGLY hate r34. But it’s best to ignore it. As rule 19 says: the more you hate it the stronger it gets. And that’s what happened. It would be smaller and have less attention if people ignored it and didn’t flip over it. Yes, I see whats wrong with sexualizing innocent cartoons characters that were designed for kids, but it’s the internet. It’s going to happen. Get over it. You can hate it but there’s no need to lose your mind over it.
