I hate it when this happens.

...So I'm posting in the Bulbagarden Domino fan club and innocently mention I don't like smut.


Aurora posts back as though I'm a freak of nature.


And it brought to the front of my mind a question that's been nagging at me for some time. No one, it seems, reads my R100 fics as much as they used to anymore. And I'm apparently the only Team Rocket fan that doesn't believe in shipping Giovanni with everything that moves.

Am I too nice a girl to be a Team Rocket fan? Are people getting sick of all my sweet coming of age stories about Nekou? Would people actually read my fic if instead of having Sebastian angst about her eventual fate, he was making out with her or something?


Seriously, every time I mention how Commandshipping makes me uncomfortable, I get a ton of people (I won't name any) defending it and acting like I'm a terrible poser of a Domino fan for even implying their relationship is nothing deeper than that of a father figure, or something. And I think it's ridiculous, because most of what I'm apparently supposed to believe isn't even canon. It's just in fanfiction people write. If I was going around saying, "Domino and Ash are BFFs, OMG!", I could see where people might take issue to that. But I don't.


Really, I don't know why I'm even posting this. It just seems like there's something I'm missing here. Can't I like Pokemon the way I like it, without feeling out of place for what I think about the characters?


I'm not too nice, am I?
