Abandon Shipping: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

* ''[[Blood Plus|Blood+]]'': The [[Fandom|fandom's]] small group of Saya/Diva shippers died off after {{spoiler|Diva [[Moral Event Horizon|raped Saya's adoptive brother]] Riku to become pregnant and then killed him}}. Apparently this was enough to kill off the "[[Evil Twin|Evil]] [[Twincest]]" [[Fandom]] that had sprung up.

* ''[[Fruits Basket]]'': In a similar situation, after Yuki Sohma realized that he thought of Tohru as more of a [[Parental Substitute|mother figure]] than a love interest the overall support for Yuki/Tohru appeared to die down considerably, though [[Fan Wank|not everyone agreed...]]

* ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]'': What had been a very vocal group of Fay/Chii Shippers (in contrast to the majority of Kurogane/Fay shippers) mysteriously disappeared after it was revealed that {{spoiler|Fay had based the design of Chii off of his late mother}}. Apparently this was enough to turn most, if not all, of the Shippers away from the pairing (and the former [[Trope Namer]] comes from the reaction of a poster on an internet forum.) There was also the small fact that {{spoiler|Chii disintegrated after the [[Soul Jar|Feather]] used to create her was removed}}, and that probably put a major damper on the idea of them being involved in the future.

** And then cue the revelation that {{spoiler|Syaoran is ''really'' actually the son of his own clone and his Sakura's clone, not the CCS pair}}. Fans are abandoning ship left and right, although there is a fair bit of confusion about [[Mind Screw|which ship to abandon.]]

 

== Comic Books ==

* ''[[Elf Quest]]'': Ember hooked up with Mender once she reached puberty. The [[Fandom]] generally liked him until he went off to fight in the war and was replaced by Ember's second love interest, Teir - who came literally out of ''nowhere''. Now, the original authors and the guest artists/writers alike all collectively prefer Teir over Mender now... the fandom, predictably, is much more [[Broken Base|split]] on the subject, evenly between forgetting Mender even existed, and seeing Teir as an abhorrent [[Creator's Pet]].
