you all know... I have never got the point about shipping wars.

I mean...what does it matter who we want hooked up with who in a story? We're neither of the people who's doing the hook-up.

What does it matter to us if Kaneki gets it with Touka?

Is it some sort of "self-identification" or "wish-fulfillment" that makes us try and identify with either Kaneki or Touka, desiring either character for ourselves by pretending to be one half of the pairing through avatars?

If so, then there's something really wrong here...

(Sure, I love Touka, but that doesn't mean I want to marry her for real or something...from her perspective, I and every other guy who likes/loves her as we do, would be creepy stalkers if this had been a real person. That is a pretty turn-off thought right then and there, don't you think?)

So in a sense, shipping wars are pretty creepy and stupid. We should just be happy over being witnesses of two people trying to get somewhere in life and if they hook up? good for them. It got nothing to do with us.

I just don't get why people get so pitchfork-serious about things like that...
