Opinion on shippings?

I Cinta shipping, and I Cinta the pairings I ship, but I hate it when the fangirls make it seem as though Hetalia is all about that. Seriously, Hetalia is NOT a romantic Cinta story, stop Berlakon as if it is one.

Most importantly, I believe the peminat-peminat are free to ship whatever they want, because it's their opinion and no one else's. People who go around bashing other's for their ships and trying to shove their opinions down their throats make me sick.

Honestly, ship and let ship, why don't you?

I don't mind people shipping characters together, even if it's pairings I don't really like atau even hate. If I don't like a pairing, I just ignore it. If I know someone who ships a pairing I don't, I'll still treat them the same as anybody else as long as they don't flip out over us having different pairing opinions But anyways, when someone ships a pairing it's based on their opinions/views. Not mine. I don't like it? Boo hoo, too bad for me. With me people can ship whoever they want as long as they:

Don't shove it down my throat, because while it's nice to know you'd like lebih people to ship it doesn't mean everybody wants to. And actually it probably puts people off shipping that pairing lebih than it makes them want to ship it when you're rubbing their faces in it all the time when they don't want anda to.

Don't constantly insist it's canon when it's obviously not. It's even worse when anda get shippers who are so desperate to prove their pairing's canon that they will give 'canon proof' that was clearly pulled from their asses. I mean, if anda Cinta your pairing so much then I'd thought you'd ship it regardless of canon, it's not like many pairings in Hetalia are canon anyways.

And lastly, don't flip out over me not shipping their pairing. I don't flip out when anybody says they don't ship atau even dislike my pairings, so I don't see why I should be getting a hate storm over it when I didn't do anything of the sort to them.

I also agree with people above that Hetalia peminat-peminat who act like shippings are all there is to the tunjuk annoy the hell out of me. If it was just about pairings then Himaruya would've just scratched the 'historical satire with country personifications' concept of the tunjuk and made it a generic dating Manga (or whatever the genre is called)

Wow....this whole thing is link so I'm going to make this short.
Now I don't necessarily ship any of the pairings in Hetalia. To me all of the Hetalia characters are like one huge family. There's ships that I'm fine with, but I will admit, there's some that I downright do not like. But I will not judge atau insult people based upon it. I believe that everyone should have the right to do whatever makes them happy (as long as it doesn't negatively affect others) without being judged atau insulted from it. Just don't shove your pairing down everyone's throat. atau make it look like that's all Hetalia is about when in reality it's not about that at all.
To be honest I almost stopped watching Hetalia completely when I first entered the fandom because there was so much yaoi, shipping wars, headcanons, fanart, ect. that made me believe that this would all be in the tunjuk at one point. But I continued to watch it and I'm glad that I did~

As long as anda don't forget what Hetalia is truly about, atau toss your ship around everywhere, then ship what anda like. Just remember, all of us Hetalians are like one big family. That's what Hetalia is supposed to do, bring the world together ~ <3

I personally Cinta shippings, but some people get super angry about some of them. I, sadly, am one of these people. If I see a pairing in which Germany is with someone other than Italy atau Italy with with someone other than Germany, I go full out rage mode. Same with Sweden and Finland, actually. But what I CANNOT STAND is OC/Canon shippings. Just-just-no. Please, no. Everyone knows that the OCs are self-inserts, anyway. o3o Plus, it kind of ruins the fun for those people that have, like, every single character ever paired up.

Ships? Ships are a complex thing, but sometimes I just wish we could all be friends. Hetalia as a whole is such an amazing thing, and I hate how sometimes small things like ships can suddenly blow up the entire fandom, atau rip it apart.
I mean, look at Hetalia. In the end it isn't gay countries. It's about the world, and what a beautiful, colorful place it is.
Not that I'm against ships! Heck, ship as many ships as anda want. All that I ask is that we remain united. I have seen plenty of fandoms become torn apart, and I really don't want that to happen with the Hetalia fandom. I Cinta how we're all one big, happy family, and I think that's how we should always be. :)

I have the same thoughts as you. I'm not a shipper, so there aren't any pairings that I Cinta atau hate. It only bothers me sometimes when people treat it as the only important thing in Hetalia. Someone once asked me why I was in the fandom if I don't even ship anyone.
Come on, now.

I don't ship pairings at all, doesn't make me a non-hetalia peminat but I just don't care either way. If people leave me alone about pairings then I won't care but if anda constantly go "I Cinta This countryxthis country!", and say it in my face alot, eeehhhh.....

I am okay with shippings, DEPENDING on the fanbase's reasons on shipping it. But I basically don't have so much respect for OC x Canon atau Self X Canon. Sometimes OCs are horribly inaccurate.

I Cinta shipping, though Hetalia is one of those things where it depends on the ship for me.

If it's stuff like UsUk, SpaMano, RoChu, atau SuFin, then no thank you.

But if it's pairings like Estonia <3 Finland...
Then HELL YES. I Cinta ships like that. :'D

And the CANONxOC thing, I think it depends. I've seen some pairings like that that are actually pulled off well, but other CANONxOC pairings... yeah, some of them annoy me.
((To be honest, I'm not really a peminat of them either... but even with those I have seen some that are pulled off well.))

I do ship some pairings but only as friends. I hate it how people just try to get anda ship a pairing anda don't like, if I don't like it, then I don't.

In my opinion people can ship whoever they please.

I have 5 problems with shippings tho

1.Alot of people are overly involved and annoying when it comes to ships.

2.Alot of people don't respect opinions.

3.Alot people feel their opinion is the only right one.

4.Ship wars generally

5.And Hating a character for a ship.

Btw there's others but those are the main reasons.

If anda do not do any of those I wouldn't have much of a problem with you. i just hate insane peminat-peminat of anything. While it may be fun to ship for some people and while people have varying opinions. Some people need to learn how to respect others. And in the Hetalia fandom there's rarely any respect to go around at times. I won't say there aren't any polite peminat-peminat but there's alot who aren't.

In my opinion, I am perfectly okay with shipping, but I don't like it when fangirls take it too far that it offends people. I don't like it when fangirls obsess lebih on their ships than the tunjuk itself. No offense, but it;s very idiotic. I don't like it when fangirls are TOO persevered with their ships and wouldn't accept other people's ships, make stupid OC's to ship with canon, atau even worse, ships HERSELF and makes a big fudging deal and a page about it, and FORCES IT DOWN PEOPLE'S THROAT..(yes, I have actually met people like the last example...It's extremely idiotic, they were even married and had three children together when the fangirl is only 12/13..)

To be frank, I think this whole thing where we place papar and importance on whether atau not we ship is stupid and pathetic. I'm seriously getting a migraine whenever the topic "shipping" comes up. I hate Hetalians who bash each other because of who they ship, if they ship, atau if they don't ship. It's shipping, dammit, it wasn't supposed to be this serious. I ship UsUk, so what? anda ship FrUk, so what? They don't ship at all, SO WHAT?

Jesus Christ, it's just a show! Let the peminat-peminat ship atau not ship. >_<

Now, I'm pretty new to Hetalia. But I think I've seen enough to say...

It's just a show. The characters aren't real. Neither are the ships. Most of the ships are not canon. What is the point of wasting your time bashing others for something that isn't even real?

Yes, the characters may represent real countries. But the thing some people don't realize, is that they are stereotypes. Therefore, it's not going to be accurate. It's just for laughs. anda don't have to take every little thing so seriously. It's a comedy, it's not meant to be taken seriously.

So, just leave people alone and let people ship what they want.

I've tried to ship in this fandom, but I've found I can't; I just don't really see pairings in countries for some reason. But I'll say this about shipping IN GENERAL, not tied down to Hetalia, but JUST IN GENERAL: do what makes anda happy.

Everybody deserves to experience happiness in a fandom, whether it's with fanart, whether it's cosplaying, whether it's fanfiction, whether it's hanging out with Friends who also like what anda like, whether it's wearing your kegemaran t-shirt with a reference to a fandom, whether it's lisening to drama cd's atau character songs, whether it's Penulisan reviews on episodes, whether it's Penulisan puisi based on a moment in a show/book, whether it's shipping.

I don't ship Hetalia characters anymore, but I ship in other unrelated fandoms and I have several pairings I really, genuinely Cinta and enjoy. But even if I don't Hetaship, I just wanted to leave this message here.
*Ollies out*

In my opinion, EVERYONE SHOULD SHIP WHAT THEY Cinta AND RESPECT ALL OTHER SHIPS. To me nothing is worst than people ship their ships but hate on others that don't ship what they do. Like I'll use Fruk and UsUk as examples. I Ship UsUk, it's one of my Kegemaran and I Cinta it. When it comes to Fruk I don't ship it, I respect the people that do, BUT also I can see how they can make a good couple.(They've known eachother for a very long time. Hell they even raised Canada and America). So I think that even if anda don't ship a pair, one could try and look at it from a different view. (A friend of mine ships Prumano. Don't know how that works, but I can see how it could happen.)
Now when it comes to shipping the countries with OCs, I guess it depends on how good the character is portrayed as well as the story line. I think it's fine, better if the Oc is another country, just don't make it so Mary Sue.
So, all in all, Cinta your ships, sail them on the sea of Fandom, become allies with your fellow shipper, and NO SINKING OTHER PEOPLES SHIPS! atau General Winter will get you.

Well, I ship lots of pairs and refuse a lots of pairs, but I don't accept when people just can't stop criticizing and hating on others' fav pairs. But it's really annoying when Hetalia is not all about shipping but someone is doing like it IS. They are a huge family, yes they did war and not get on well with each other, but then again, they are friends, are allies .... That are what Hetalia about, not shippings. :|

I don't mind any ships, but I don't like incest atau selfcest atau any weird pairings like America x Chainsaw etc. etc. But I won't bash on people and call people 'shallow idiots' for what they ship. That's just plain sick and rude. -_____-" Everyone is free to ship whatever they like, and if no one shipped anything, then everything would be fine. Honestly, what is up with people these days? They probably only have one frickin brain cell atau something. They should start using their brains, because bashing on people's opinions will NOT get anda anywhere. And anyways, it's scientifically proven that everyone is shallow. Everyone wants a good looking partner, no matter what anda say. Simply calling a character 'hot' proves that anda want a good-looking partner. It's set in your mind, so even if anda say that you're not into hot people and anda only aim for personality, deep down in your subconscious anda want a good looking partner. And did I mention it's scientifically proven?

Shipping makes the world go round.
Nah, but I do enjoy it shipping, who cares if its canon, crack, gay, straight?

Lately, I've been feeling a little down because of Hetalia shippings and how over-obsessive some peminat-peminat are, and while I do respect their opinions, I just don't like it when they try to convince me it's canon, their "life", atau try to use it to torture me, atau get super defensive for having my own opinion. I'm not trying to change anyone's minds, I'm stating my own belief, and people hate that.

To me, I believe ships are used if they are, like, close Friends atau if they have a past, something like that. I'm purely stubborn sejak nature and my emotions take over, and I don't like putting people through that. I realize I've probably been mean to some people based on what they like, and I feel bad for it.

To get to the point: Hetalia for me is about the countries and the world (plus, since I study my genealogy, I'm basically a European mutt), not having characters in sexual acts, things like that. Thanks for letting me vent. I respect all opinions.
