It's definitely annoying. I find the arguments the anti-shippers to be pretty trite and foundationless that I try to keep out of any discussions on the issue.



Often, with shippers (especially shippers of same-sex pairings, since media tends to downplay/tease with those), they look at things through lenses that allow them to see stuff that wasn't necessarily there, while the anti-shippers look through lenses that allow them to not see what might be there. It's rare for someone to be looking at things objectively and not through any tinted lenses at all. It just happened that in this instance, in the most unlikely place, the shippers were the ones who were not wearing any lenses. And it's so nice to have that "victory" (I use that word reluctantly since I'm rather against anything that would insinuate a "war") that you just have to roll your eyes at the anti-shippers and haters and not care what they think. Because it's not going to change anything.



haha, it makes me sad to think it's pretty much finished (fingers crossed they'll make comics of lok like they have for avatar)
