>>32666629Okay, I understand half of that. But the other half is still inconsistent.
For one, you believe this is fruitless endeavor. But so is liking this ship. It's also not going to lead to anything, nor is posting it here going to achieve anything, so why is one form of "fruitless endeavor" is okay, but the other isn't? Then there's the problem with calling it fruitless endeavor in the first place. Yes, shitting up these threads and overall hating on this ship for being non-canon isn't going to make people stop liking it, but seeing so much hate might discourage people from posting it. And those who don't like the ship benefit from that. Sure, this might not work and nothing might change, but not doing anything is even less likely to work. So they do benefit from this.
Yes, people have been liking this ship since the game came out, and they will likely continue to do so. Since brought up Barneyfag yourself, look at that for example. Did shitting on change Barneyfags' taste? Not necessarily. Did it discourage posting? Yes. Quite clearly. The situation is the same. People might not be able to change yurifags' feelings and taste, but shitting on them might discourage them from posting. At least make them not post on /vp/ and move to /u/.
