Anti-Shipping Goggles

The opposite of Shipping Goggles where no matter how powerful the evidence or prevalent the Ship Tease is, you insist that there is no way a couple could ever be canon. It might be because you have laser-focused shipping goggles for a particular ship. It might be because the relationship is Slash Fic/Yaoi Guys/yuri and you refuse to accept even the possibility that there's intentional Ho Yay there. Maybe the relationship is heterosexual, and you think Het Is Ew. Maybe the plot, canon, and even the author endorse one pairing, but you totally realize that the characters are Meant To Be with someone else, characterization and previous behavior be damned. Or maybe you are the only sane one, and everyone else is crazy. Point is, you're not seeing something others do in the shipping arena.

Compare No Hugging, No Kissing.

Anime and Manga

 * In Fullmetal Alchemist, by the end of the manga, Ed and Winry are 100% official, and Roy and Riza are as close to an official couple as you can get without official declaration. The Yaoi Fangirls refuse to see this, as it interferes with Ed/Roy. They even claim that Ed has a "Tsundere" reaction to Roy (after all, the more passionate he appears to hate him, the more passionate his underlying love must be!), when in fact his true tsundere behavior is towards Winry. Other people refusing to see this are: Elricest shippers, Olivier/Roy shippers, Roy/Winry shippers, Hawkeye/Havoc shippers, Havoc/Roy shippers and some people who insist that one of the two couples is Platonic Life Partners.
 * In general, the Ship-to-Ship Combat in the manga fandom is between people who believe that Roy/Riza and Al/Mei are all Official Couples and people who believe that there's not enough evidence that they're anything more than friends. Given the sheer amount of evidence or at least the heavy, heavy implications that was presented for each of these couples, one is inclined to wonder just how much more evidence these couples need to get out of "friends" territory.
 * In general, there needs to be onscreen intercourse to convince some people, and even then it's not a sure thing.
 * In Gundam Wing, Heero and Relena are pretty much a borderline Official Couple- both of their character developments center almost entirely around interactions with the other, and most of the sidestory manga (penned by the anime's writing staff) lean this way as well, with one even having an ambiguous kiss. Once again, many Yaoi Fangirls put on the Anti Goggles, turning Relena into a shrieking harpy, and putting Heero squarely in Duo's pants. Duo, meanwhile, not only tries to set Heero and Relena up together, but has a girlfriend named Hilde Schbeiker, who he has chemistry and a good bit of Ship Tease with - also blocked out by the Anti Goggles, though Hilde is mostly liked, and only very rarely subjected to Die for Our Ship treatment.
 * If the sequel novel Frozen Teardrop had come out during the height of the show's popularity, we would have gotten to see the fangirls try to reconcile their ships against And you know they would have tried, despite the fact that the novel is by the show's head writer.
 * Oh, Bleach fandom, how this trope fits you. Certain Ichigo/Rukia fans don't see any possibility of Ichigo/Orihime happening to the point that they flat out reject the proposal that maybe  could imply he does feel something towards her. Likewise, some Ichigo/Orihime fans reject any scenes that hint towards Ichigo/Rukia (like the 'Rukia stopped the rain.') Overall, it's a mixed bag, with most fans simply wanting an open-ended/couple-less ending.
 * It doesn't help that the anime producers apparently have Anti Goggles on too, doing their best to downplay/ignore Orihime's feelings for Ichigo while giving Rukia several Ship Tease scenes with Ichigo that weren't present in the original manga.
 * Some Cardcaptor Sakura fans refused to believe Tomoyo was actually in love with Sakura, insisting her gestures and affection and even her declaration of "liking" Sakura that way were just friendly and nothing else.
 * Touya and Yukito sometimes get this treatment, too; despite numerous hints about something going on between them and even Yukito telling Sakura that he loves Touya the most, some fans still insist that they're just really close best friends and only Yaoi Fangirls would think there was anything romantic in their relationship.
 * In-story example: Sonoko/Serena from Detective Conan really thinks that Shinichi/Jimmy isn't good enough for her best friend Ran/Rachel and leaves it very clear.
 * Very frequent among One Piece anti-shippers. Word of God clearly says if you want that sort of thing, you should read a shojou manga, but how adamant and defensive many fans are about using this trope goes well beyond guarding the integrity of Oda's vision. When people start claiming the two main male characters are asexual despite evidence to the contrary, and that there isn't any sex in the OP universe period, you start to wonder... Then again, when your opposition is using things like unimportant, made up animal symbolism as evidence...
 * Ironically, history-based shipping, the very thing that makes Axis Powers Hetalia fertile ground for Shipping Goggles, can lead to Anti Goggles if taken too far. The most militantly "historical" fans insist that a ship with a strong historical background in real life is automatically more canon than other, "less historical" ships involving the same characters, even if said "less historical" ships actually have more evidence and shown interactions in APH canon. Doesn't matter that APH was never meant to be a 100% strict interpretation of real-life international relations or that personalities clearly play some role too in how well the characters get along or that any history-based pairing is only possible through a very selective reading of history (canon couples included) -- real-life historical basis (or one's own selective reading of history) is all that matters!
 * Of course, there's nothing inherently wrong with preferring pairings based on real-life history, but when fans justify their preferences by discrediting all evidence for the opposing pairing on the sole basis of it "not being historical enough" while not seeming to realize that they're just as guilty of wearing Shipping Goggles as their competition, if not more, that's when you get into Fan Dumb territory.
 * Also: America being taken aback at seeing England in nothing but an apron? He's obviously disgusted.
 * Romano being his usual Tsundere self with Spain? He obviously hates Spain and takes delight in abusing him. It's not like he ever did anything like frantically search for a cure for Spain when he fell sick in canon, after all.
 * Austria chiding Hungary for something? Obviously he is a control freak who gets off on punishing her. And Hungary is a Shallow Love Interest who doesn't deserve kindness from him.
 * Oh, oh! Don't forget about how Austria and Hungary are obviously just friends because they're no longer "married" and hence can never ever get romantically involved again, their Christmas outing was just them hanging out as friends and in no way resembled a date, and Austria shows no romantic interest in Hungary whatsoever and certainly doesn't do anything explicitly romantic for her like, say, sending her gifts for Valentine's Day.
 * Or, you know, the guy who doesn't like to have his ex-wife seeing him all disheveled... being willing to strip to get her a Nice Hat she wanted? Nooooo, he just does it because of pressure from France. And never ever because he cares for her enough to do something he dislikes just to make her happy.
 * Greece's feelings for Japan are obviously 100% friendship. His night with Japan was either All Just a Dream or the natural result of someone like Japan sleeping with someone he considers 100% a friend, his fights with Turkey over which one of them Japan prefers prove how much he wants to be Just Friends with Japan, and the Together Umbrella scene where he thinks about how he'd much rather have Japan erotically humiliating him than thinking his hair's messy means nothing important and certainly doesn't hint at any attraction to Japan at all.
 * Even more ridiculous is when fans insist that ships like Greece/Japan, England/Japan or even Spain/Romano have no history together. No, they're not just saying that these ships have little history compared to other ships - they're saying that these ships have absolutely no real-life history behind them, period. Apparently, they didn't bother to do anything like a simple Google search for Nation A + Nation B + relations. Or, you know, read the freaking strips (Anglo-Japanese alliance? South Italy being under Spain's control for a while? Heck, even Greece and Japan's historical relations are explained in the very first webcomic strip they received together!). There's denying what canon shows, and then there's practically refusing to even look at what canon shows.
 * There are also some people who insist that there is absolutely no canon male/male love in the series and that any claims to the contrary are just the Yaoi Fangirls blowing Subtext out of proportion. While the series isn't as laden with Ho Yay as some of its Yaoi Fangirls would have you believe, it still has some moments that are nigh impossible to write off as anything but romantic love, such as Sweden calling Finland his "wife", Russia telling America that he doesn't want to see Lithuania unhappy because he "is my ex, after all", and Italy outright saying to Germany that his first love was a boy.
 * D.Gray-man: Allen has absolutely no attraction to Lenalee. If he's a confirmed Celibate Hero, that must mean that he has never felt any sort of romantic feelings toward her, and never will. So what if the official relationship chart and an early manga scene say he thinks "she's so cute..." or that he got nervous and disappointed when he heard that Lavi was interested in Lenalee? That must mean that he's interested in Lavi.
 * Hellsing obviously has no romance. Never mind the development of Seras Victoria's and Captain Bernadotte's character arc was about their feelings and how the creator called them a perfect couple or how they kissed and one of their chapters were titled The Man I Love. Duh. Okay, maybe not, but anyway Pip is out of the picture as the manga shows. To a lesser extent, Alucard obviously has only platonic feelings for Integra Hellsing and otherwise if he doesn't secretly hate her. Really secretly. He never said he was turned on by her or flirted with her or had romantic implications with anyone (his reason to travel to England wasn't a woman in the first place, damned be the text). She would marry and have babies to continue Hellsing, instead of anxiously waiting for his return for 30 years single and chaste and are finally reunited in a chapter called Romancia where their relationship isn't presented as master/servant.
 * On the other end of the spectrum, Alucard is never kind to Seras, and never even thinks of her as anything more than a perfect object of his abuse. Saving her life (by turning her into a vampire, but anyway) in the very first chapter when he didn't really need to? Patting her on the head and feeling proud of her? Calling her "my beloved servant"? Nah, such things never happened.
 * Let's not forget how they deny Dracula's feelings for Mina which are stated pretty much canon for a while by Word of God and the text.
 * In the Inuyasha fandom, militant Sesshomaru/Rin and Sesshomaru/Kagura fans locked in Ship-to-Ship Combat fall victim to this mentality, with the former camp insisting that there's absolutely no evidence that Sesshomaru's feelings for Kagura were anything more than respect for a fallen comrade, and the latter camp insisting that there's absolutely no ambiguity that Sesshomaru's feelings for Kagura were romantic, unlike his feelings for Rin which are fatherly.
 * Ditto with Inuyasha/Kagome vs. Inuyasha/Kikyo. Proponents of the former like to think that the latter was based on some sort of escape fantasy with no real love behind it (Inuyasha not wanting to be a hanyou, Kikyo wanting to be a "normal girl"), while Inuyasha/Kikyo fans like to think of Kagome as a Replacement Goldfish in spite of Inuyasha explicitly stating in canon that he does not think of Kagome as just Kikyo's replacement.
 * It was painfully obvious from the start that Inuyasha was in love with them both, which happens in real life all the time. It isn't that far-fetched, if you think about it; surely tropers have been conflicted between two (or more...) people in their life? Or have been on the receiving end, or even at the very least seen it happen. He even makes a comment about having them both!
 * In Rebuild of Evangelion, militant Shinji/Asuka fans still refuse to acknowledge even the smallest possibility of a Shinji/Rei pairing even if it has pretty much become the Official Couple and Rebuild!Shinji, admittedly in contrast to his classic NGE self, hasn't shown the slightest bit of attraction towards Asuka. It is so extreme that you get flamed just for calling an S/R fanart heartwarming even though several characters (including Asuka herself) outright referred to their relationship as love.
 * Not to mention how some of these fans insist that Rei will be "inevitably" revealed to just like in the original series, even though Rebuild is an Alternate Continuity that is not obliged to follow the original series to the letter and has already made significant alterations to the plot and characterization, and would be far from the first Alternate Continuity to resolve the pairings differently than the original series did. It's still quite possible that Rei has the same kind of secret, but these fans seem to think that it is 100% sure to happen and hence that her relationship with Shinji is automatically null and void, even though it hasn't been confirmed yet.
 * Soul Eater: There is no way Maka and Soul are even a bit attracted, or even attached, to each other. So what if they practically need each other's support and are willing to put themselves through mental or physical pain just so that the other could be happy or survive? It's clear they have just as strong a relationship with other characters. And that dance they shared in Soul's soul room? Normal. And that chapter in the manga where it is revealed that Maka envies others, particularly girls, who can relate to Soul more than her? It's just a sign that she cares about him as a brother.
 * The classic example from the 1990s would have to be the anti-Akane faction of Ranma ½ fandom. Vociferous, organized, and usually well-spoken (many of them were among the most prolific writers of Ranma fanfic of the time), they embraced and extended the perception of Akane Tendo as a "psychobitch" and would pair Ranma with someone -- anyone -- else to keep him away from her.  They eagerly took part in some of the most epic Flame Wars of the era, and even now, decades later, their efforts still taint the English-speaking fandom's views of Akane.

Film

 * There are at least a few fans of the 2009 Star Trek movie who insist that Spock and Uhura are just friends, despite the fact that they kiss onscreen. This reasoning seems to be split about equally between people who ship a competing couple, and people who dislike the romance in general.

Literature
"Fans might think that's even more reason why Hermione should end up with Harry — but Rowling said she always knew that Ron and Hermione were meant to be together, just as she thought Harry and Ginny were meant to be together. "I thought it was obvious, but apparently there are Internet wars about this," she said. "And they get very vicious.""
 * Harry Potter: Possibly the most notorious example of this is how a small but vocal (sadly, very vocal) faction of Harry/Hermione shippers adamantly refused to believe that JK Rowling was intending for Ron and Hermione to become a canon couple and dropping, in her own words, "anvil-sized hints" about it. Even after the sixth book, in which Ron and Hermione are very clearly shown to get jealous whenever they see the other person going out with someone else and Harry himself notes this (not to mention that he enters a relationship with Ginny in the same book), the Fan Dumb still persisted; well over a decade and a half after the publication of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows it was still going strong. They have even mocked J.K. Rowling's "anvil-sized hints" phrase, and some insist that she accidentally wrote Harry/Hermione when meaning to write Harry/Ginny, and that every part of the romance subplots from Book 5 on was just her scrambling to correct her mistakes.
 * There are also some Harry/Hermione fans who point out that J.K. Rowling admitted once that Hermione had shared some experiences with Harry that she never could with Ron, and say that this rebukes the other fans who insist that there was absolutely no Harry/Hermione subtext in the books. Which does have a degree of validation, but some of these Harry/Hermione fans cling so stubbornly to it that they insist this statement completely discredits all of J.K. Rowling's other statements that made it clear that she had decided long ago on Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione as the official couples and thought that the hints dropped for the latter had been pretty obvious. These same fans will go to ridiculous lengths to twist any Ron/Hermione statement of hers that is not 100% positive or Harry/Hermione statement of hers that is not 100% negative into "J.K. Rowling has finally realized and admitted that Harry/Hermione is superior to/is what she has been supporting all along instead of Ron/Hermione!!", such as taking her statement that she used to date Rons before marrying a Harry as proof that Hermione (the one Rowling has admitted is closest to her in personality) should have ended up with Harry instead, even though a thorough look at the same interview shows that she then goes on to explicitly debunk this assumption:


 * Now, there's still some indications of Flip-Flop of God with Rowling's later statements about Harry and Hermione, but she always confirms at the end that Ron and Hermione are canon and fit together well. It's like how Rowling said that Neville and Luna married other people but later admitted that she could see Neville and Luna together; even if she acknowledges that the possibility was there, it still didn't become canon and she never at any point said that Ron/Hermione wasn't canon. Many Harry/Hermione fans actually realize and accept this as probably just an indicator that their ship isn't completely unfounded, but unfortunately, enough fans don't with such an intensity that gives major headaches to those who don't give a toss about the ship's canonicity and just want to ship in peace.
 * In a recent Warrior Cats book, Bumblestripe seemed to crush on Dovewing. Many Ivy/Bumble fans wholeheartedly deny any kind of romance between them. Actually, they have a right to be annoyed—Vicky, one of the authors, and the leader of the "Erins", said on Facebook that Bumblestripe had a huge crush on Ivypool, and Ivy/Bumble fans "may like the way this is played out!". Then, after the whole Dove/Bumble thing, Vicky denied that she had ever said anything!

Live-Action TV

 * Prior to the relaunch at the hands of Russell T. Davies, there was a very loud contingent of Doctor Who fans who insisted that the Doctor was asexual and stubbornly resisted all hints to the contrary (not that there were all that many, since it was a No Hugging, No Kissing show for kids). The New Adventures novel Lungbarrow seemed to support this interpretation, claiming that Time Lords reproduced asexually via "looms". When the Eighth Doctor actually kissed a woman in the 1996 made-for-TV movie, there were howls of protest across the land; the new series' references to the Doctor having "danced before" did not make them happy.
 * And all this despite the first companion having been his granddaughter. There's been tons of Fan Wank attempting to get around the Doctor having done what one typically has to do in order to have children and therefore grandchildren. Some of it by Expanded Universe authors! One bit of which was intended to have been canon; look up the "Cartmel Masterplan" for details, since we don't have the space here.
 * During the first few seasons of The X-Files, the fandom was split (more or less amicably) between "shippers" and "noromos". "Shippers" were in favour of a romantic relationship between Mulder and Scully, while "noromos" were against it. (This may be the earliest use of the word "shipping" in fandom. Back then, it wasn't thought necessary to modify "shipping" with the character names, since there were only two characters in The X-Files who could plausibly undergo a Relationship Upgrade.)
 * What makes it epic is that Word of God supported the normos, until it turned out there was some Lying Creator going on.
 * iCarly: Many people, even if they don't ship the opposite Carly/Freddie pairing, refuse to even acknowledge the idea of a Sam/Freddie ship after they watched the episode iMeet Fred (That's if they kept watching the show after that). There are also fans who want no shipping at all, and the Word of God has espoused that viewpoint occasionally, usually after he starts a ship war and gets the heck flamed out of him.
 * Glee: While this doesn't happen so often with pairings on the show, much of the fandom refuses to acknowledge the cast members' relationships with people outside of the cast, such as Lea Michele's relationship with Theo Stockman.

Video Games

 * Despite Cloud and Tifa from Final Fantasy VII living together and raising two children, some still refuse to believe they are a couple, saying who Cloud loves is up to the player or open for interpretation. Not even SE Word of God on the subject can dissuade them from saying it.
 * Likewise, the obviously intentional and acknowledged Les Yay vibe between Fang and Vanille in Final Fantasy XIII. If you squint really hard, you can say they're just friends, and many people do.
 * Good God, Sora/Kairi. While they aren't an actual item in the series, it's obvious in each Kingdom Hearts game (to the point where Sora imagines himself and Kairi in the place of Official Couple Jack Skellington and Sally in a slow dance), yet the number of fangirls who insist that the pairing doesn't exist and that Sora will end up with Riku in the end is staggering. Keep in mind that Riku himself is heavily implied to have a (albeit one-sided) crush on Kairi in canon, something that these fangirls also refuse to see.
 * They ignore even more obvious information. At the beginning of Kingdom Hearts, Sora draws a chalk picture of himself handing Kairi the Papyu fruit (urban legend states whoever shares the fruit will live happily ever after together) and at the end of the game, Kairi finds the picture and draws herself handing Sora another piece. This is basically the equivalent of Kairi finding Sora's diary and seeing he wrote "I want to marry Kairi" and writing him a note saying "I want to marry you too."
 * Blame Kazushige Nojima for this. He's the one who wrote the scene of Sora crying at Riku's feet in The World That Never Was. Square might want to not hire him next time...
 * Oooh, and how can we forget the scene where Sora kneels at Saix's feet to show the latter how much he cares for Kairi? And then Saix denies him, making Sora really pissed off.
 * The most damning piece of evidence here, however, is when Sora stabs the Dark Keyblade into himself to free Kairi's heart, to free her from her Empty Shell status. Keep in mind, losing your heart (which are essentially souls here) in the KH universe and becoming an Empty Shell is the exception to the rule. Unless you are a Princess of Heart (like Kairi), then you instead take a form of the local Eldritch Abominations, The Heartless. Yes, Sora is willing to sacrifice his soul and become an Eldritch Abomination for Kairi. If that isn't an indicator of at least major feelings, then I don't know what is.
 * Tales of Symphonia. One only needs to make mention of shipping (on, say, GameFAQs) to see this trope come out, as rabid Sheena/Lloyd shippers will declare Death of the Author, ignore all Word of God, and deny to the end that for whatever reason, Lloyd and Colette are more than just friends.
 * And for more absurdities, there are those with these on so tight that in the sequel Emil and Marta are totally "just friends", despite her entire character being based on her obsession with him.
 * Technically, there's no canon for Symphonia as to which character Lloyd ends up with; in both the first game and the sequel, Lloyd being romantically paired with any female character (or none at all) is possible, due to Relationship Values in the first and a Schrödinger's Gun in the sequel.
 * Of course, Colette is the default, as her Relationship Values are pretty much maxed out from the get-go. You can pretty much hit her in the face with a shovel repeatedly and if you don't hone in one specific other person, still end up with her as the paired character.
 * Many Left 4 Dead fan girls take this attitude towards the relatively canon pairings of Ellis/Zoey and Rochelle/Francis.
 * Resident Evil is a rather staggering example, considering that among other things, Leon takes a bullet for Ada, she caresses his face and kisses him before passing out, the ending of RE4 six years later shows Leon explaining that he can't let Ada go, and the entirety of Separate Ways basically consists of Ada protecting Leon from behind the scenes, even disobeying Wesker and killing Krauser to do so. Despite this, roughly 70% of the fandom is convinced that the kiss didn't count, the pairing has zero backing, Ada is a bitch, and Leon and Claire are obviously in true love despite little to no on-screen development between them. To be fair, it may have something to do with these people instinctively pairing the lead male and lead female characters when playing the game as small children, but still. The denial is ridiculous.
 * Metal Gear Solid: Snake is straight. Otacon is just his friend. There's nothing going on between them at all. Word of God? Kojima's trolling. Copious ship teasing? I don't know what you're talking about. Snake is straight. Snake. Is. Straight. SNAKE! IS! STRAIGHT! SNAKE IS STRAIGHT AIIEEEEEEEEEE

Web Comics

 * While it's basically impossible for John/Karkat to become the Official Couple in Homestuck, there is a sizeable and scary minority who bash anyone who ships it for any reason at all, because John says he isn't gay - calling it anti-canon and accusing anyone of liking it as being a two-bit Yaoi Fangirl and ignoring their characterisations. Obviously, characterisation-ignoring shipping does happen, but bashing people for shipping it at all rather ignores the Ship Tease, and the fact that Karkat's motivation for trolling John backwards for much of the timeline (meaning neither of them understood what the other was talking about much and making their lives unnecessarily difficult) was canonically due to him hitting on John, being rejected, and then being too embarrassed to talk to him again. It's hard for lots of people not to ship something that genuinely cute, even knowing it will never happen in canon.

Western Animation

 * Avatar: The Last Airbender: More extreme Zutara shippers have this when it comes to Mai/Zuko and Aang/Katara, to the point of Die for Our Ship. Some even manage to claim the legend of Oma and Shu is meant to represent Zuko and Katara... when the symbolism is clearly pointing to Aang and Katara.
 * Others acknowledge Aang/Katara as the canon couple, but come up with every single argument they can think of for why it's Sick and Wrong and its canon status is an utter disgrace. According to them, Aang/Katara is creepy Shotacon despite Katara being only 2 years older than Aang (i.e. the exact same age difference Zuko/Katara has), or Aang got Katara only because he's the oh-so-perfect Marty Stu hero who reduces Katara to a "prize" to be won (because apparently a protagonist having a crush on the Action Girl who saved him from his imprisonment in an iceberg and went on to share life-changing adventures with him, them both undergoing Character Development in the process, is evil) and that Zuko "deserves" Katara more because he "wasn't just handed his 'hero' status and became a more worthy hero than MartyStu!Aang is", even though this kind of reasoning implies that Katara's only a "prize" to be given to the one they deem "deserving" of her. It's really quite scary how far these people will go to discredit Aang/Katara and extol Zuko/Katara as The Greatest Pairing Of All Time That The Series Should Have Been ALL About.
 * Parodied (along with many other fan mutations of canon) in "Ember Island Players" where a Fire Nation play depicts Katara as Like Brother and Sister with Aang and drooling all over Zuko. All of which disgusts the real Katara and Zuko (who actually scoot away from each other after one such scene) and depresses Aang mightily.
 * When The Legend of Korra was announced, the shippers picked up exactly where they left off, even after Word of God said that everyone who was in the original series has been dead for a while. Militant Zutarans in particular desperately clutched at straws after Word of God said that Tenzin was Aang and Katara's son, trying to argue that Zutara could still somehow happen even after that beyond-a-shadow-of-doubt confirmation of Aang/Katara.
 * Occasionally cropped up in the Robin/Raven sect of the Teen Titans fandom where, despite full Ship Tease episodes for the canon Robin/Starfire ("Sisters", "Betrothed", and "Stranded" just to name a few), Rob/Rae-ers continued to insist that Robin "never loved" Starfire, thought of her "like a little sister", and "only felt sorry for her". They even cried this after Robin and Starfire's Relationship Upgrade in Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo, where they shared their First Kiss (well, first if you don't count "GO!").
 * Also, the fact that they were a couple in the comics first is totally ignored.
 * In some sort of weird inversion, the creator has expressed bewilderment at the popularity of the Fan-Preferred Couple Beast Boy/Raven (see the page quote at Shipping Goggles), despite several episodes that fans have a hard time interpreting as Like Brother and Sister ("Spellbound" and "The Beast Within," for example). Continuing with that, Raven and BB were also a couple in the comics... right around the time the TV series ended, apparently by total coincidence.
 * X-Men: Evolution: Some Lancitty fans refuse to see any Kurt/Kitty subtext/ShipTease which goes hand-in-hand with Kurtty shippers' Shipping Goggles. Lancitty fans will shout "It's never going to happen!" while the Kurtty fans do the opposite and shout "Lance was a jerk!" and ignore any scene of shipping.
 * When A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner! made Timmy/Tootie the Official Couple of The Fairly OddParents, many Timmy/another girl shippers quickly decried it as just an Alternate Continuity that wasn't truly canon, even though Butch Hartman himself wrote the script and said that it was a look into the characters' future lives.
 * To be fair, there's some basis for that, since the movie basically Retcons the end of "Channel Chasers" by.
