Why give a shit about glee? They aren't exactly top quality performance.

Actually, for the most part the performers on the show are very good. It's the writing that has problems.

Mainly annoyed at the audience, and it's very, very sad when the show has more of a sense of irony than the audience.

I tend to take it as a sign of the fandom's latent madness when, despite having never watched the show or delibrately put myself in any corner of the internet related thereto, I still manage to find somewhat rabid shipping discussion cropping up.

I mean sure, you never get Avatar or Harry Potter levels of shipping going on, perhaps only because of the fact that they have canon ships in it(Before the end, of course), but I still shouldn't be able to get caught up in them if I don't go anywhere near the show itself.

@Sky Yeah, Fluttershy just took the assertiveness too far. That's her problem, not Iron Will's.

Shipping ruined HP and Avatar for me.

Well, this is the show where shippers send angry tweets and text messages at the actors.

People ship with Harry Potter? But I definitely see the shipping with Avatar, and especially Lo K. For the record, any ship with Bolin is a good ship to me.

If you stare into the abyss long enough, it stares into you.

Element of Indecision.

#230234 kegisak Thu, 21st Jun '12 9:16:50 AM

@Pannic: what.

Really?

Okay, scratch that. I guess it gets plenty rabid.

#230235 Pannic Thu, 21st Jun '12 9:17:01 AM

You aren't aware of the shipping in Harry Potter? Oh boy, the friggin Harmonians (that's the Harry/Hermione ship)...

#230236 gingerninja 666 Thu, 21st Jun '12 9:17:16 AM from Aboard The Damocles

Oh yeah. Shipping all over the place for Harry Potter.

Mostly, I dislike it when the show itself ships. Which is the problem with Korra

Stay far away from Glee, Ginger. Far, far away. This is a show that actually gets ideas from shippers.

@ginger For the most part, you can turn a blind eye to shipping if you stay away from the community. Other than that one episode that was pretty much all shipping.

From what I've gathered, Glee is all the joy of high school drama with the wonderment of song covers.

@Pannic Can do.

Glee doesn't appeal to me in any way anyway

#230240 kegisak Thu, 21st Jun '12 9:20:30 AM

It's one of those interesting situations where the creators ostensibly listen to the fans, but the crazy ones are the loudest so they get heard the most, I think. There have apparently been other shows that went the same path, like iCarly. Which is even more absurd because at least one of the shipping things in that had been a genuine abusive relationship.

#230241 gingerninja 666 Thu, 21st Jun '12 9:20:40 AM from Aboard The Damocles

@strike I skipped that episode.

and no, I find it pretty much impossible to ignore shipping. Especially when it's so insufferable

#230242 Pannic Thu, 21st Jun '12 9:22:17 AM

I still pray that the shipping in this community never bleeds over into the actual show (okay, Lyra/Bon-Bon thing aside). That'd be awful.

Really, cut out Mako, whatshername, Bolin, and Tenzin's kids, and I'd have no problems with the show

But Bolin is great...

#230247 kegisak Thu, 21st Jun '12 9:23:59 AM

But Tenzin's kids are great! what's wrong with them?

and him too! Mako is kind of okay, but he's too... I don't know. Too season 1 Zuko without the inner turmoil? He feels like he exists to angst, though he COULD be interesting.

Also, I sincerely doubt there's any cause to worry about shipping getting into MLP. It's simply not the venue for it, and I doubt anyone takes it seriously on the staff. I'd add the fandom as a whole to that, but there will always be those...

@Pannic Bolin is easily the best out of the characters I've listed, but I'd still rather they were all gone

This is a show with themes of love and tolerance, lol. It's far more likely the shipping would mutate into an awesome 6-way orgy
