Oh don't worry. I always think in context. Fandoms vary as much as shippers vary. That's not the point I'm trying to make.

I'm zeroing in on patterns I have seen in several fandoms I've encountered, whether they be active fandoms or where I happen to lurk.

I'm talking about the groups or individuals that see everything just through the lens of their ship, ignore canon, and even sacrifice character becase at the end of the day, it's just all about the ship.

I don't even mean this is a bad or good way. A person can be extremely invested in a ship for one show and not care in another. I've done this before.

An example are the Harmonians from Harry Potter fandom. Some fans of this ship see the end goal of the entire series to be Harry should be with Hermoine or that hermoine should end up with Harry. Everything about the series is seen through that scope.

I just wonder about the psychology behind it.
