I just don't get it! I mean, distancing myself from the fact that I just do not get the fanon shipping thing at all, I can understand the logic of "s/he deserves so much better!" but if I can consider it to the point where I actually want to pair them with someone else, then I've probably already walked. I want the actual story to make me happy, not an alternative with characters I like. If the story the creator put forth doesn't work for me, then there's another story out there.
But, if you're going to go for an alternative because you think one person got shafted, then why aren't you giving that one the alternative?
Really, it's not something that will influence my opinion of someone(I don't get letting a person's shipping tendencies forge your opinion of them) but it baffles me.
