Here's a word of advice
If you talk about your experience shipping something or feelings of guilt and shame, which I've been there mate I get it, just be aware that other shippers can see it as well.
If you say shipping something is wrong and you know it's wrong, you might be talking as a shipper, but you are still making other shippers who might not have felt that way feel that way. They might not have felt any shame or guilt until now. They might not have felt what they were shipping was weird and fringe and ostracized until you reminded them that some of us are second-class citizens of this fandom and there is no way for us to escape that label.
Not all of us like degrading ourselves like that, making jokes about how we are sinners and how our ship is trash. I am not gonna roll in the trash, I am not a raccoon. I am a person who asks for respect, and not the condescending, backwards, you-do-you, winking and nodding bullshit.
And you did that as a multishipper which is okay to be, but, some of us don't get the luxury of hiding behind our more acceptable ships. Not me, because I don't have them.
