#i know not all mh shippers are like this but dang there are too many who are

Why do (some) Mako/Haru shippers gotta be like this?

These are the reasons I barely go on Twitter anymore. I can't even share an opinion without antis getting triggered, blocking me and then LYING ON ME.

Me innocently sharing my (polite and respectful) opinion on my own profile:

Random triggered mako//haru Stan:

*subtweets me then blocks right after*

*proceeds to LIE on me to their followers*

(yugyeom sweetie let me get you out of there)

Me, literally never having brought up "sexual tension"/"the fence scene"/"Australia":

They really claimed RinHaru was not only "d3@d" but has been for "a long time." Please explain to me then the Haru Being Hung Up On Rin Starting Days movie, Haru being once again super emotional with Rin during The Bench Scene in Take Your Marks, Rin canonly being the only one who could've helped Haru discover his dream the way he did, Haru telling Rin he was the reason Haru could even step forward towards the future, Haru wanting to continue to share future experiences with Rin, and so much more. And this is all after Season 1, which was pretty much Haru being obsessed with Rin and trying to get over him but failing miserably and so they make up in ep12.

If RinHaru is a dead ship, please explain to me how mako//haru isn't 10x more dead, let alone even breathing?* All of this reciprocated chemistry and infatuation between RinHaru and RinHaru only (within the Haru ships), yet the ship is supposed to be dead? Lol Haru would beg to differ.

Tbh they have a right to vent on their own Twitter account, just like I have the right to share my opinions on my own account. But whereas I was respectful and didn't invalidate the other ship, they were the exact opposite. But honestly, what actually upset me was the fact that this person had to blatantly lie about what I said. Says a whole lot about their ship, just sayin'.

Anyways LoveSickRuby: RinHaru is going to the Olympics together. RinHaru is out here THRIVING and being the closest Haru-ship to canon. Sorry boo, I didn't make the rules 💋

*me saying this is NOT invalidating mako//haru. i'm pointing out how i believe there is multiple times more chemistry between rinharu than mako//haru, so if you say that rinharu is dead then it surely means that mako//haru is dead, too.

This MH Shipper Tho...

So last week I made a post about how Haru gets sentimental when around Rin which I had originally posted to Reddit (before I got my Tumblr account). It wasn't too popular on Reddit as there are many more MH shippers there than RinHaru shippers, which is totally fine; I didn’t care about the post being popular (I figured it wouldn’t be), I really just wanted to share my thoughts and love about RinHaru with the world. 😁💜🌸

The rules of the subreddit clearly specify "No Hate Comments" and "No Ship Bashing." If you read my post, even on the Tumblr version I don't even mention any other ship and certainly don't hate on any other ship. It was merely an appreciation post of RinHaru that discussed how Haru gets especially sentimental when around Rin.

I literally wrote this disclaimer in my original post:

But of COURSE, that’s just too much for some people and they still get triggered.

Disclaimer: This isn't an anti-Mako//Haru post but it is an anti-Mako//Haru shippers who are immature, hateful and hilariously insecure about their ship. This isn’t towards all Mako//Haru shippers, esp those lovely and chill ones. To those I send my love (because I appreciate y’all and also love my big squish Makoto 💚).

So this afternoon I get a notification that I have a comment on my Reddit post:

I didn't want to just assume this person was a Mako//Haru shipper, because they could've been an anti-shipper in general, so I checked out their profile first because I like confirming things rather than jumping to conclusions and making assumptions.

But sure enough:

OMG ahahaha y’all this person was so triggered by my post—a post that had absolutely no hate towards Makoto nor Mako//Haru—that they made not only one, but TWO posts that broke community rules by ship hating because of it. AND those two posts were the only posts they ever made on Reddit, ever. 😂 

Literally, all my original post did was give some rare RinHaru appreciation in the subreddit. And the post was even tagged as “Shipping” and had RinHaru in the title. And still this person willingly clicked on it knowing it was a ship post about their notp smh. 

Even in my response to them, I didn't hate on any ship. Yet even then, they're still mad and then try to turn the blame onto me:

Imagine being so insecure and overly sensitive about your ship that the very appreciation of a different ship, one that never invalidates your otp nor Makoto, triggers you that hard. Lol YIKES.

Needless to say, both of their posts were removed for breaking the rules of the subreddit.

Here’s the thing: I’m new to the Free! fandom so I wasn’t here when the ship wars were at their worst. So when I come across all of the Rin and RinHaru hate when I dive into fandom posts, it hits me like if it was new, because no matter how long ago it was, it’s still hate. Hate that still crops up today, which I see frequently on other areas of the internet. 

I tend to write a lot of “posts” addressing this hate or defending RinHaru, but it was originally just for myself and my private blog/diary. Now that I have tumblr, I’ve debated many times whether or not to publish these defenses of RinHaru since the ship wars aren’t nearly as bad as they were before, and a I’m sure a lot of the haters have moved on to (hopefully) better things. Yet every time I feel like maybe its unnecessary to write these long meta posts about RinHaru or posts that address hate coming from mh shippers, I run into something like this, either on YouTube or apparently now Reddit (even though it's against the rules). 

So you know what, I’m not gonna feel bad about addressing RinHaru hate anymore, even if it's from the past because it still goes on today. Also, I know how hard it is to see the hate as a new fan, and seeing people defend Rin and RinHaru is always comforting. Hopefully it’s comforting to others, too.

Anyways, pseudo-venting sesh over.

BONUS: this person really hates Rin lol
