Die for Our Ship/Live-Action TV: Difference between revisions

** Sometimes, Wilson gets this treatment ''because'' he's being shipped with House. It's a kink. Wilson also gets darkened for some Wilson/Chase ships.

** Anyone who wants to ship either Chase or Cameron with someone else between season 3's "[[Friends with Benefits]]" arc and early season 6 has to get around Chase's trying to ship Chase/Cameron. Methods of derailing Cameron have been noted above; to facilitate pairing Chase with someone else, she may also be turned into a single-target harridan. Methods of derailing Chase to get Cameron together with House or Thirteen include making him more clueless than in canon, turning his [[Yandere]] streak up to eleven -- there are several House/Cameron fics where Chase attempts to [[Murder the Hypotenuse]] after Cameron's broken up with him, and Cameron isn't always safe either -- going alcoholic a few seasons early, denigrating his manhood (yes, even in Cameron/Thirteen fics), or showing him to have nothing in common with Cameron (when they had been friends in the first half of season 1).

** Some fans started to hate Lucas only after his relationship with Cuddy interfered with House/Cuddy. And that started ''before'' Lucas vandalized Wilson's apartment.

* After the actress who played Kimberly, the first Pink Ranger on ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'', left the show, she was [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute|replaced]] by the recently [[Heel Face Turn|Heel Face Turned]] Katherine, alias "Kat", who later was shown to have married series lead Tommy in the future. The fans bashed her like rabid wolves. Never mind that, in canon, Kimberly and Kat became friends, and Kimberly picked Kat to be her successor.

** Finn gets this treatment from rabid St. Berry fans who distort him into an Evil Abusive Boyfriend holding Rachel back from achieving her dreams and being with the much more sensitive and talented Jesse.

** Like with any major ship, Finchel has its vocal minority that can be extremely rude to Fuinn shippers, especially. They tend to exaggerate the terrible things Quinn does while completely excusing Rachel from her similar actions.

{{quote|'''Tumblr reblogger'': "She’s right. Does it really bother you that much that Sam might be with Mercedes instead of Quinn or Kurt? If it does bother you to the point that you have to send someone horrible tweets - then you need help. Amber doesn’t write the storylines. She can’t really say “No, the assholes on tumblr/twitter want Sam to be with someone else, I refuse to do this storyline!”. Even if she could - you expect her to turn down screentime just to make a bunch of shippers happy?"}}

* Sometimes this thing happens very nebulously when there are no true factions, especially in non-hardcore fandoms like those of sitcoms. Example: on ''[[Frasier]]'', most [[Amicably Divorced|Frasier/Lilith]] and [[Better as Friends|Frasier/Roz]] shippers think [[Last-Minute Hookup|Frasier/Charlotte]] was a terrible pairing. On the other hand, they don't hate each other much at all. And then there's a group of fans, who have a small overlap with both the Frasier/Lilith crowd and the Frasier/Roz crowd, who commit themselves to despising every single [[Girl of the Week]] Frasier has. Then there's those who think both the Frasier/Lilithers and the Frasier/Rozers are deluding themselves and take the potential of Frasier's [[Foregone Conclusion|obviously doomed]] girls of the week too seriously, (especially Claire). It's nigh impossible to get any sort of lock on what the majority of the viewers is gunning for. Then again, Frasier was never part of the show's [[Official Couple]] anyway...
