What video game characters do you ship?
>>377898757
Im probably too old for this shit.
Is ship actually a thing, or some word that people are trying to push as a new buzzword?
What does it mean? Shill? Because at least that has some origins in the english language.
>>377898884
"Shipping" is tumblr retardation. It comes from the word relationship. It's basically fanfiction where you pretend fictional characters are fucking each other. It's just as stupid as it sounds.
>>377898757
these two
>>377898884
Shipping is a well established and long going thing anon. You basically pair two characters in a fictional work together in a relationship, like say, Jensen and Malik from Deus ex.
>>377898757
Shipping is for tumblrites, people who ship just want a excuse to think about romances that dont exist, shouldnt exist and want to wank off to the idea of said romances.
If a romance exists in vidya, good for it I guess, I never cared much for that, but forcing a relationship on fictional characters just seems like escaping your own shitty love life to fabricate your idealized relationship, no?

There are few things more pathetic than being a "shipper".
>>377899608
This is a woman thing, I just asked this girl and she's a huge shipper.
But 4chan being a MAN'S WEBSITE has no place for this shipping faggotry.

>>377898757
>N/A
>>377899759
It's also a fag thing of which 4chan has plenty of, and I think the lack of shipping has more to do with 4chan not being a good format for writefaggotry in general since most shippers gravitate towards websites with lots of it.
Lightning and hope.
>>377898757

If I ship them as friends does that count? Or does that make me gay?
My waifu and myself.
I've been here since 09 and this is the first time i heard of it. That's stupid
>all these posters that have never heard of shipping
What rock have you been under? I remember hearing about shipping back in middle school more than a decade ago. The term has been in use among anime fans for at least that long, and I recall hearing normalfags say it when I was in college.
>>377899119
deport yourself back to /co/tumblr
All these fags acting like shipping is cool to know. Shit is gay. Like, fanfic gay.
'Shipping' is what lonely weebs do to escape reality.
>>377898884
The term shipping (derived from the word "relationship") has been around since mid 90s X-Files fan discussion and fiction, with the overall idea having originated in the 70s in Star Trek fandom where autismals paired Kirk and Spock together (or Kirk/Spock, K/S, "slash"-fiction).
>>377901331
Where do you think you are?
>>377901372
I seriously doubt shipping hasn't been a thing since the dawn of civilization. Humans always do the same stupid shit.
Alright fuck it I'll answer honestly:
Leon/Falco, Wolf/Fox and Krystal/Panther
>>377899810
I prefer Reptile/Kung Jin but Scorpion/Sub-Zero is a classic
>>377899884
Depends on the person, some people just like to write fics or draw pictures for their ship and leave it at that. It's more like a hobby than an obsession.
Others can go full autism with it.
>>377898757
I wrote a few Rareware fan fics on ASSM circa 2000. Have never been able to find them. I got a lot of emails with praise, but apparently my paragraphs were too long. But Vela & Juno got incesty onsome planet, there was a solo Joanna Dark that took place at the Carrington Villa, I think the rest of my writing was teacher/student fantasies.
This is what I was reduced to to have a good wank at 17 with a 28k modem, but it left me with a lifelong appreciation of sex stories.
i have literally never, EVER heard of shipping and i heavily perused the internet in the naughties

>>377898757

>all these people that have never heard of shipping
It's still distilled autism, but you have to be underage to never have at least come across the term SOMEWHERE before you wandered here.

>What does it mean? Shill? Because at least that has some origins in the english language
are you unfamiliar with the term relationship, or...
Tita/Her Mom
You know it's the only true love in vidya.
>>377902640
Because like everything else people go overboard and ship the most unlikely of character then produce shit fanart of them and push it like the obnoxious cunts they are and when presented with evidence, and sometimes straight up shipping them with another character by the author/devs, they sperg out and double down. There's nothing good with shippers. Keep that shit to yourself.
>>377902565
shinji would be such a dud root, would go off in seconds, if he even gets it up. I would've gone for drunken Misato & Shinji with some fingering.
>>377902653
Kaworu is just a pushover. Shinji wont heal himself with someone like that
>>377902663
>>377902720
KS should just rest on the graveyard of history already
>>377902640
How crazy shippers get when you at least imply their shit isn't going to happen probably paints the majority of it. Had I not seen what was going on earlier, I'd almost guarantee most people here have at least one negative experience with a "shipper," but now I don't know.

I'm not even at the level of the 1st guy, shipping is uninteresting.
>>377902640
There's a difference:
waifu posters are IRONICALLY posting, they don't take their own posts seriously. If they do, then they get publicly shit on here. You act like Waifufags have a great reputation on this site(?)
"Shippers" write long blogs about their "shipped" characters and get legitimately angry about it
>>377903258
>waifu posters are IRONICALLY posting

Correct.
>>377903394
>they don't take their own posts seriously
yeah, it's all ironic and not taking yourself seriously until you're wearing a skirt and sucking someone's dick
>People are defending shipping on /v/.
>>377903258
I'd wager far more are genuine than ironic, but you're right about them getting shit on at every turn. Anyone that denies this part is just retarded and want to act like a victim.

The irony...
>>377903258

Double heh
Also, ironic shitposting is still shitposting
The only big ones would be Geo and Sonia and Sonic and Blaze.
Oh, and Bowser and Peach.
>>377903879
What I don't understand is that it removes the self insert though. Why would someone get off to other people having sex? Surely you want to put yourself in that place.
>>377904172
That's waifuism you are describing famicom
I think about their relationship shamefully often. It's my only real ship and the only one I've written fanfic for. I don't know what's wrong with me because before I played Twilight Princess I had disdained any form of shipping. And now here I am.
riku x sora and axel x roxas were my first ships and that was over 15 years ago.
most recently it's joker x akechi :3
>>377904375Let's see that fanfiction, girl.

No exceptions.

>>377902537
Katawa Shoujo's popularity was pure waifufaggotry. Shipping had very little to do with it, though I suppose it's fair to say that both waifufags and shippers are of the same ilk/equally pathetic so whatever.
>>377904541No, I haven't posted it anywhere and would rather not, but thank you and kudos for figuring out I'm a girl, I guess.

>>377902537
Waifus are not the same as shipping though.
>>377898757
>What video game characters do you ship?
I used to ship these two when I played tf2.
>>377905890
The only difference is that waifus are more popular among males and shipping is more popular among females. Otherwise it's the same shit.
>>377898757
I only ship me with my Waifu.
>>377906042
Who is that?
Shippers are, generally, the worst part of any community they're a part of, followed closely by waifufags and DEEPEST LORE fags.
The internet age has done nothing but made them even more cancerous. If you support shipping, you're part of the problem.
>>377906039
No waifus are like a crush and mostly a meme shipping is just stupid. I will say that obsessing over waifus is stupid too.
>>377906174
Shipping really is the deepest of waifu/husbandofagging lore.
>>377906087
Mt. Lady - Boku No Hero Academia
>>377906295
You think that because you're picking out the worst examples of shipping. Most are casual about it. Just like with waifus, not all of them own body pillows and have posters of their favorite girl covering their walls.
>>377906304
Yes, hense why I consider it worse than either of those two things individually.

>>377902465
Before that. Shipping has been around since the dawn of human civilization. It's just mentally putting two people together. In media, it's no different than reading a romance novel and deciding who you want the character to end up with. It's fucking Archie, is he with Betty or Veronica. Shipping these days in fandoms arises from either a) not liking the canon choices or b) the series in question not being sexualized or having a relationship/romantic component and therefore people create that in their minds if they want it.
Does it count if you can actually rom them in game? Or is that just waifufagging
Shipping is fucking retarded. If it's not a relationship that is present in the source material itself, then that's that. The notion that every main or supporting character -NEEDS- to be fucking some other character is juvenile.
That's like comic book artists that feel like there ABSOLUTELY MUST BE a romantic subplot in an otherwise stellar comic book.
>>377898757

Short for relationship. It's when you like the idea of two characters together romantically, usually non-canon but canon ships exist.
For me it's a harmless bit of fun but a lot of people get too obsessive and obnoxious with it so I can see why so many people hate it.

That being said, this is the first manga where I've seen two characters actually fuck in the source material. Usually they just kiss or hold hands or something because of Japanese "can't soil their purity or no one will buy her figurines".
Mirai Nikki was an exception but she was insane so it's kind of meh.

Depends, do you self-insert as Shep or do you just consider him a character you control? The former is waifufagging the latter is shipping.

Gantz and Ichi the killer come to mind.
A2 x 9S

Oh yeah, I forgot he banged that ridiculously average girl in Gantz. Although it's not like they were ever going to sell any merch of her anyway.
I actually kind of wondered if they did that pairing because the mangaka got an average looking girlfriend and modeled the character after her.
Only people in universe and always straight
Because seeing two characters in love makes me feel happy inside and forget my own crushing cynicism that a woman will never love me because I'm a retarded jackass who spends his time ranting about no games on a Bantu migration board

He banged people before that as well. I don't know I really liked that relationship. Was real ish.

Pic related makes me feel fuzzy inside
>>377915843
For me it does the opposite and reminds me I will never experience that love.

This right here. Any other way is pointless
I'm a guy in my 20s and I write shipping fanfiction so I can project like an Imax.

It was interesting in a way, considering she was described as homely several times by characters in the manga, so I guess the draw was that she wasn't some super fleshed out idol-looking pop princess with a dynamic (but ironically static) personality.
On that same note, I hate mangas where by the end of the manga, literally everyone in the manga is paired up with someone, even if they made absolutely no inclination that they were interested in said character, or relationships in general. Naruto comes to mind. I'm glad One Piece strayed away from it. Everyone was too busy being dead in Akame ga Kiru so it never came to fruition unless you like getting impaled by dragon cock.

Gantz was really tense before extendoblades that cut everything showed up. Kuro knew he was the Men in Black, he knew the casualty rate was high, he did not know 100 points is a free life. He picked out a plain girl below his league because she would do anything he asked. The man just wanted to fuck. He caught feelings because he is kind to a fault - he died saving a drunk homeless man from a train in the first issue, remember?
my waifu x her waifu
>>377916882
Holy shit that's right. I completely forgot he initially just wanted to fuck her as a human fleshlight but ended up actually liking her because muh pure waifu.

Also Magi is doing it. Characters are literally getting together just because "it's about time to think about marriage".
Ky/Sol is the hottest thing ever.
Sol/Ky is disgusting.
