Line 2: [[Die for Our Ship\|Ship wars abound]] in anime and manga fandom. The presence of DFOS is almost guaranteed in any case where the protagonist has multiple love interests. Some shows have even gotten bad enough to warrant their own pages: == Subpages == * [[Die for Our Ship/Axis Powers Hetalia\|Axis Powers Hetalia]] {{subpages}} * [[Die for Our Ship/Bleach\|Bleach]] * [[Die for Our Ship/Cardcaptor Sakura\|Cardcaptor Sakura]] * [[Die for Our Ship/Gundam\|Gundam]] * [[Die for Our Ship/Inuyasha\|Inuyasha]] * [[Die for Our Ship/Naruto\|Naruto]] * [[Die for Our Ship/Pokémon\|Pokémon]] * [[Die for Our Ship/The Prince of Tennis\|The Prince of Tennis]] * [[Die for Our Ship/Ranma ½\|Ranma ½]] * [[Die for Our Ship/Sailor Moon\|Sailor Moon]] ~~----~~ == Other series == * Aoyama Masaya of ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew]]'', Ichigo's [[Official Couple\|canon love interest]]. Fans who prefer Ichigo with the [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] or the [[Stalker with a Crush]] often portray him as either an unimportant idiot who is quickly discarded or an evil mastermind who is cheating on her with Miwa or Moe or both. (Or Minto in a double pairing derailment, if the shippers happen to come from the section of the fanbase that believes Yuri Is Ew.) Either interpretation completely ignores his kind, intelligent, loyal canon personality. He usually ends up run over by a semi. Line 239 ⟶ 227: * Rei Miyamoto from [[Highschool of the Dead]] not only gets slamed for being a borderline [[Faux Action Girl]] ''and'' daring to [[The Mourning After\|be troubled over her boyfriend Hisashi's death]], but for being in between [[Anti-Hero\|Takeshi Komuro]] and [[Lady of War\|Saeko Busujima]]. * You know [[CLAMP School Detectives]] fans are way too invested in [[Ho Yay]] shipping (This ''is'' [[CLAMP]], after all) when they pour hatred on ''a kindergarten girl'' like Nagisa because Suoh likes her romantically when he could be more invested in Nokoru. Her best friend Utako manages to mostly dodge hate, mostly because she's paired up with Akira and thus she takes him outta the picture. * There's far less of it now (thank goodness), but the pairing that got the most flak in ''[[Slayers]]'' was the [[Ship Tease\|often teased]] and now more-or-less semi-official (if the light novel artist and writer's acknowledgements are to go by) Zelgadis and Amelia; generally, the mopey, callous, and bull-headed Zelgadis would be glorified whereas the [[The Pollyanna\|naive yet kind-hearted]] and just Amelia would be turned into an immature, selfish princess with the intelligence of a fish and no fighting skills ([[Heroic Self ~~Depreciation~~-Deprecation\|she acknowledges her faults in the anime, even!]]). Zelgadis and Amelia would go up against Zelgadis and Lina (who is an [[Official Couple]] with Gourry). Those who do like Gourry/Lina severely tear down Gourry/Sylphiel (the latter having an [[All Love Is Unrequited\|unrequited crush]] on the former) and vice versa, citing Lina's [[Comedic Sociopathy\|sociopathic behavior]] and extreme selfishness. Worst of all, many a fan would do ''anything'' to justify Filia/Xellos, with the snare being that, with them being polar opposite races (Filia a dragon serving a godly race, and Xellos a powerful demon serving the monster race), and Xellos being unable to feel emotions at all per [[Word of God]], it would be canonically impossible for them to be romantically involved. Some justify that Xellos and Filia bicker like an old couple, whereas his passive-aggressiveness is most certainly ''not so.'' And those who prefer Xellos/Filia take down anyone who prefers Filia/[[Jerkass Woobie\|Valgaav]]. Finally, the emo-tastic nature of the unplausible [[Ho Yay\|Zelgadis/Xellos]] bashes just about every other pair.
