I was like that with ships in other fandoms tbh. The ship was cute, but the way the fans behaved towards the female character/s who were linked to either one or both characters in the ship was just so disgusting that I had to abandon the ship because the bashing stigma was so prominent.
And I think it's such a shame when that happens too, because it's not the other pairing or character's fault, the fans are the ones ruining it. u___u
THANK GOD I SEE SO MUCH LESS OF IT NOW, I KNOW LOTS OF PRO-BELGIUM FANS NOW--
