All the ship terms has got me wondering. When I ship I just see two characters and put them together without ever thinking of ages. I often get squicked when people insist I’m shipping adultxminor or minorxminor and force me to consider their ages; I just see it as shipping two dolls and dolls don’t have ages just an appearance and a personality or story if you want to keep it.Would a word situation for that be useful at all? At the very least to help give a warning sign “ages don’t exist here” I don’t know what I’m saying or how to say it.It’s just something that keeps bothering me with fancops and their insistence that fictional things have “real ages” you -have- to acknowledge at all times it’s made fandom harder and harder. I know I can’t be the only one who goes fiction doesn’t have ages, but in the case of being super squicked about it maybe I am alone. Everything’s gotten me questioning everything these days. Sorry to drop in your box!
Hmm, I have no idea. There certainly might be a use for a term for “I don’t consider their ages when shipping them, and it doesn’t come up in the fic” if only for people who don’t like that to filter it out.
Maybe something like void ship or just ship?
