Why don't you just call them couples? I've never heard ships used in this way.
As in, "relationships".

good lord some folks are internet-sheltered if they've never heard of shipping
I disagree,good lord some folks are internet-sheltered if they've never heard of shipping
I've been on the internet since the early 90's, and I've never heard that once.
I can kind of get it? Like DIO has sexual tension with literally everyone. Now this shit, this is disgusting:There's a weird subset of people who desperately want horrible villains to get with the hero.
When I went to Japan, Dio and Jonathan Joestar was one of the most popular pairings in the entire non-official publishing areas. "You poisoned my family and burnt my dog to death, you get me so hot Dio."
Like... fucking why?
The term actually originates from the internet in the early-mid 90's. The concept of 'Shipping' has a very interesting history. Despite popular belief that it's an anime thing, it actually started with fans of the X-Files who were frustrated by the endless 'will they or won't they' between Mulder and Scully (they were the first to call it 'shipping'). It was also pretty popular amongst female and queer fans of tv shows as a protest movement against the straight male-dominated relationships in media. I had to read a bunch research papers on it in college and that's how I learned about the term and practice.I've been on the internet since the early 90's, and I've never heard that once.
I first heard about it when Avatar: The Last Airbender started. It was the same time I was free to explore the internet on my own, and I was actively searching for related news on the show, anywhere I could find it. And it was then, on some obscure fan forum, where I laid eyes on the term "Zutara". I had to go looking for more to figure out all the terminology at play. Any relationship, canon or otherwise, was defined by a combination of the couple's names.I've been on the internet since the early 90's, and I've never heard that once.
I disagree,
The pace of change the language is going through is too fast for the non-millenial
Oh, another one: Finn and Rose. I know there's a lot of people out there wanting this and Rose is adorable and all, but if we don't get Rey + Finn at the end I'll scream.
I won't but still.
Neither did its architect ;PNever understood how they could ship Vasa. It's too goddamn heavy.
Yeah. Still not sure what this thread is about.
Nope shipping is very much a western series thing, Arrow and Supernatural etc.
'Shipping' is not an anime thing though. The first people to do it were X-Files fans.
I hate that ship. Acting all high and mighty just because she has two keels.Me too, I thought it will be full of posts like:
"Yeah, this ship here, wtf is this actually??
"
Thats exactly why I entered this thread.

Shipping is basically fan fiction of hoping two characters you like are a couple when they in fact are not in the show.
Kind of the point, actually. A ship can't hide in open water, so the goal was to make it unclear which direction the ship was headed. Old-school cannon fights required dueling ships to anticipate the next move well ahead of time, so any successful deception would get the enemy ship badly set up for the next shot. These days everyone just uses radar and guided missiles.
Fun fact, the people who built the Titanic never actually claimed it to be unsinkable.The Titanic. Sure the ship is fine, but claiming it's unsinkable is just tempting fate and asking for it to be sunk.
Heard of the term before but just now realized it was short for relationship.
Yeah pretty much. Hero/Villain Ships are very popular
