>>31551487>nothing supporting their pairing in the gameI guess but that really goes for almost all ships.
In my opinion these threads aren't all TOO different from threads where people talk about who their waifu is.
>So, because it doesn't exist, you're not actually discussing anything that's present in the gamesI'd argue it's more like a gray area, it is still about the characters, though these threads in question are relatively sparse in discussion of the subject, people discuss characters from various perspectives and what-ifs on plenty of other boards, I don't think that's really that off-topic or harmful, potentially it can be really interesting and enriching (with some ifs).
>If you want to deal with fanfiction then just go to the writethread I've toyed with the idea.
>and stop making these threads That's the thing though, I haven't actually made any of these threads, I've just participated in a bunch of them. I don't think they have a lot of shelf-life though, because nobody ever talks, not about the subject, anyway.
>In fact I'd say these threads are nothing more than repetitive, glorified image dumps. >Nothing is ever discussed, really.I'd actually agree, threads with shipping as the main topic such as these are pretty sparse in discussion, I've said that before, that threads dedicated to one character in question are much more interesting and people actually have things to say, these are pretty empty on that part, and are a bit disappointing.
I mean there's the Captain Paranoia, he'll meta argue for hours, but it's not so much discussion as it's the screaming hobo on the street.
>>31551695I didn't even know they had a forum.
>>31551754Well they are a bit repetitive, and I'm not talking about Renfield's ramblings here, I think they could be better.
