>>47611184>seriously asking why they think shipping is marketableThe more they show the ship in the show, the more shippers they'll have watching the show and making videos about the show online that brings traction. Shipfags are often so obsessed that they'll buy any piece of merch that contains both of the characters, plus they'll probably shill it for free to other shipfags. Most shippers are under the age of 18, meaning that they don't see how cringe they are and don't care about the money they spend from their parents. Take a schizo like PL, if they started making Red/Leaf or just more Leaf merch he would buy that shit in truckloads, and I have the feeling that there are more people like him out there.
>but the attention is negativeThey really don't care, views are views and people pointing out the truth about how fucking cringe shipfags are on some obscure internet forum aren't going to take away those views unfortunately
