Line 81:
*** They also keep on bringing up the reunion scene where Sora expressed more emotion at seeing Riku than Kairi, as if this ''one'' scene alone somehow outweighs all of the less-than-subtle [[Ship Tease]] Sora and Kairi have received, such as them both drawing pictures of sharing Papyu fruit together (which is said to be a symbol of living happily ever after) and Sora imagining himself slow-dancing with Kairi in the same way [[Official Couple]] [[The Nightmare Before Christmas|Jack Skellington and Sally]] do - not to mention the fact that Riku's clearly interested in ''Kairi''.
** A mild example of this cropped up with ''[[Birth By Sleep]]'', where Terra/Aqua shippers insist that the scene where Terra, Aqua, and Ven reunite in Radiant Garden is proof that Ven regards Terra and Aqua as his parents and ships them together. Nevermind that when Ven says "Parents", he is notably irritable over being seen as just a little kid, and ignore how Terra and Aqua, when confronted with the notion of them as Ven's parents, they casually laugh it off. These are clearly unimportant details and mean nothing at all. And that's only in the Japanese version, in the English dub they're simply referred to as "grown ups".
* ''[[Pokémon]]'' gets more than its fair share of this. Every character is shipped. [https://web.archive.org/web/20130828020548/http://incompletelove.webs.com/ All of the ships have names.] If they don't, they will soon.
* ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]''. Take one character. Take another character. No matter what, supporters already exist. NO EXCEPTIONS. This wouldn't be noteworthy, except for the ''[[Sarcasm Mode|minor]]'' detail that this approach can also be extended to the [[Sonic the Hedgehog (comics)|Archie Comic]] and the [[Sonic Storybook Series|Storybook series]].
* ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' - To the point where there is a large section of the fanbase that [[Periphery Demographic|doesn't even play the game]], preferring to spend all their energy on pairing the characters together in every way possible. Although most of pairing supporters don't actually bother to use examples from official material, hence the lack of [[Ship-to-Ship Combat]], the trope still applies in full force for the [[Fan Dumb|more fanatical contingencies]] of the [[Foe Yay|Sniper/Spy]] fanbase, who do insist that things such as the Sniper-Spy dual update and Meet the Spy are "evidence" of its being canon.
